Monday Breakfast On-the-Fly – For Champions of Self-Care!

1. Mason Jar Yogurt Parfait (Prep in 2 minutes) Layer in a portable jar:

• Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla for protein power)

• Fresh or frozen berries

• Handful of granola or nuts

• Drizzle of honey or nut butter

Screw on the lid and go. Creamy, crunchy, and packed with probiotics, fiber, and healthy fats to keep you satisfied and focused.

Mondays can feel chaotic, but skipping breakfast or grabbing something sugary is not the self-care move we deserve. As champions of our own well-being, we fuel up smartly — even when rushing out the door. These three portable, nourishing ideas are ready in minutes (or prepped ahead) and keep your energy steady all morning.

2. Green Power Smoothie To-Go (Blend in 3 minutes) Throw in a blender bottle:

• 1 banana (frozen for creaminess)

• Big handful spinach

• Scoop protein powder

• 1 Tbsp nut butter

• Splash of milk or water

Blend and pour into a tumbler. Nutrient-dense, hydrating, and energizing — perfect for sipping on the commute.

3. No-Bake Energy Bites (Make ahead — grab 2-3 - maybe 4)))) Mix: dates, oats, nut butter, chia seeds, and a touch of cacao. Roll into balls and store in the fridge. Portable protein bombs that taste like dessert but power you like a pro.

Starting your week nourished is the ultimate act of self-care. You’ve got a full day ahead — give yourself the fuel to conquer it with grace.
