Waking up and going to work in the summer is like waking up and getting out of bed in the winter - you’d rather not - unless maybe you’re a life guard. For those of us with jobs that don’t involve sitting on the beach all day, sometimes a little extra motivation is needed to not play hookie and keep on route to the office. For this, Cupture has put together a list of tasty smoothies that will help get you through the week and have you tasting the weekend.
Why trust Cupture with our smoothie selections? We love smoothies so much we designed our mason mug specifically for them. The extra-large straw is perfect for getting the little chunks of fruit into your belly with no awkward clogging. It’s also double insulated so smoothies stay colder for longer and don’t get watery or warm. The handle makes it easy to take to-go and the screw on lid prevents any unwanted bugs or spills. So what goes great with the perfect cup? The perfect smoothie!
Monday: The Black Forest
This chocolate cherry swirl is the closest you’ll be to heaven on a Monday. It will serve as inspiration to get out of bed and start another week no matter how relaxing (or realistically, hectic) your weekend was. Running with Spoons’ recipe is delicious and nutritious. It’s like eating cake for breakfast but without the guilt because it’s super healthy. There are tons of antioxidants from the cherries and cocoa, not to mention, the fiber from oats and omega 3’s from the chia seeds.
Tuesday: Citrus Vanilla Smoothie
Tuesdays can be tricky. If Monday didn’t go so well (despite having cake for breakfast) stress can flow over into Tuesday – for this we bring out the vanilla. The calming properties of this wonder bean are also serve as a great antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Paired with yummy citrus, this refreshing smoothie will keep your stress under control and prevent bloating.
Wednesday: Berry Banana Oat Smoothie
Possibly the most popular smoothie of all time, the berry banana smoothie is an essential on our list. This fun in the sun combo is the perfect reminder that the week is half way through and it won’t be long till the weekend. Adding in oats to this traditional recipe is a great way to sneak fiber into your diet. It’ll also keep you fuller for longer which is never a bad thing.
Thursday: Mint Smoothie with Chocolate
We know what you’re thinking – another chocolate smoothie? Yes, we love and care for you. Thursday’s are usually chill days. The craze of the week has started to subside and while new projects are developing your brain has some downtime to day dream of the ever so close weekend. Why not kick back with a colorful concoction as you plan out where to consume your weekend cocktails.
Friday: Banana Mango Avocado Green Smoothie
Otherwise known as ‘The Ultimate’, we’ve saved the best for last. Friyay is a joyous time of deadlines and early afternoons. As the weekend approaches, hour by hour, it’s hard not to think about all the fun plans set up for the next two days. For example, going to Vegas for a birthday party or binge watching the new season of Orange is the New Black, it’s all very exciting stuff. This super smoothie is the perfect match for such a day that will guide you right into the weekend. For more summer fun check out our other drink recipes.
