So, a while back (AKA 3 years ago), I made this thing (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?493965-Not-All-Forms-of-Enlightenment-Are-Worth-Following-Monk-Subclass). That was before I had much experience with 5e, and in general, it's a bit... childish? I think that's the word I want? So instead...
Way of the Smiling Idol
When most people think of a monk, they think of a svelte, fit person, honed by years of fasting and physical rigor. But that is not necessarily so! You have discovered enlightenment through your sheer physical mass.
3 :- Bountiful Belly
You have advantage on saving throws made against effects that would move you or knock you prone against your will, unless that effect involves teleportation. In addition, you never suffer disadvantage on ability checks due to your girth, and may fit into armor and clothing designed for skinnier adventurers.
3 :- Laughing Resilience
When you use your Unarmored Defense, you may have your AC equal 10 + your Constitution modifier + your Wisdom modifier instead. In addition, add your Wisdom modifier to your Constitution modifier for the purposes of suffering suffocation.
6 :- Center of Mass
You may replace any unarmed attack you make as part of a bonus action with a Grapple or a Shove. In addition, you may use Stunning Strike whenever you make a successful Grapple or Shove attempt.
11 :- Massive Girth
Whenever you grapple a creature, that creature cannot speak, breathe, or make bite attacks. You may make a Strength save against any effect that attempts to forcibly move a creature you are grappling, causing that effect to fail on a success.
17 :- Serene Titan
You may ignore a creature's size when determining whether or not you can Grapple or Shove it, and when determining how difficult it is to drag it along with you.

I feel like Serene Titan needs a little bit extra...
Also, I think I'll need to do a "smash the environment" Monk next - punch through walls, smash through gates, that kinda thing.
