Yummy Nutritious Breakfast For Nurses!

Published

I just discovered Quaker Oatmeal Express (The baked apple is my personal fave!) This stuff is awesome! 200 calories and 2.5 gms of fat and scrumptious! It is so easy to cook. I eat at work so that's important to me. You just remove the cover, fill to the inside line with water and nuke for 1 minute. They are only $1.29 each too. Anyone else have any easy breakfast faves for work days?

Just had a small omelet -- one egg, slice of: Swiss, American, Virginia ham, some chopped green pepper, salt, pepper, and a little hot sauce on one slice oat-grain toast. Plus one half of a banana. Yummy!

(John -- Where do you get the bars, how much are they, how's the taste? No aspartame in there, right? Thanks!)

Fat free cottage cheese mixed with Yoplait Light Apple Turnover yogurt with a handful of cut up granny smith apple chunks mixed in and a dash of cinnamon. Sometimes I will throw some vanilla protein powder in there.

Also, a slice of whole wheat bread with natural peanut butter.

That sounds SOOO good!! Healthy and sweet in the right way!

I love w.w. bread, natural peanut butter, too, especially with a sliced banana on top!!!

My absolute favorite breakfast is peanut butter toast with a fruit shake made with 1%milk, vanilla yogurt, frozen strawberries, bananas, and a dash of OJ.! This is my power breakfast for 12hr shifts!

I'm also four months pregnant so EVERYTHING sounds good!!!

Humm, everyone seems to eat healthier than I for breakfast.

Sometimes its leftovers from dinner but MOSTLY....McDonalds is about 1/8 mile from my front door. Drive thru, a sandwich and an OJ. I need a kickstart in the AM. Then I don't do bad the rest of the day....soup or salad for lunch and I have often done a yogurt while I chart too. Dinner is usually light too cuz I am too tired to eat.

Geeze, a nurse who is a morning person who works daylight, what will they think of next. (worked nights for 8 years to get here so I am happy and losing weight at a slow rate)

I'm a big fan of the Quaker instant oatmeal too. Anything thats quick and doesn't require any cleanup. Lean pockets are one of my faves. And the oatmeal lowers cholesterol and keeps you regular. Maybe the person with the flatulence issue should try that out. And sushi for lunch - i'm addicted!!!

Quaker Honeynut oatmeal with vanilla yogurt stirred in it.

Or a crunchy granola cereal with any creamy yogurt drizzled over it.

I have been on a yoplait lite yogurt and low-fat granola kick for breakfast. Toss about 1/3 cup of granola in a baggie trow that and the yogurt in the lunch pack with an ice pak and VOILA! breakfast on the run....add fruit of choice to fill it out and it holds me till lunch time and I have no desire to graze at work. Or for smoothie recipes, see some of the health links that have been posted in the past. I posted some great smoothie recipes that were very filling and low cal.
