If you’re a nurse who has to be at work by 7 AM, y If you’re a nurse who has to be at work by 7 AM, you know the struggle of trying to get out the door on time 😂

These are 2 of my favorite high-protein breakfasts for fall! ✨

Both are easy to prep ahead of time, so you’re not spending your entire morning in the kitchen.

🍎 APPLE PIE PROTEIN OVERNIGHT OATS

- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/3 cup Trader Joe’s Crisp Apple Greek Yogurt
- 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- Cinnamon to taste

Mix everything together and refrigerate overnight!

For the topping, sauté 1/2 chopped apple in a little coconut oil + cinnamon until soft and caramelized.

🎃 PUMPKIN PROTEIN WAFFLES

- 1/2 cup Kodiak pumpkin flapjack mix
- 1 tbsp vanilla or cinnamon protein powder
- 1/4 cup egg whites
- 1 tbsp pumpkin purée
- Cinnamon + pumpkin pie spice
- Splash of water

Mix everything together and cook in your waffle maker until golden brown.

Top with vanilla Greek yogurt and warm cinnamon apples (same topping as the oats).

Both are perfect for prepping ahead of your shifts. Just reheat the waffles in the morning!

SAVE these for your next stretch of 12s! 🤍

There was a time when everything I have now was so There was a time when everything I have now was something I was working toward…

Getting married, building my coaching business, going back to school to become a nurse practitioner, and finding a healthier relationship with fitness 🤍

And somehow, every time I reach one goal, I find myself already thinking about what’s next.

Especially during this season of life, I’ve been reminding myself to try to slow down and appreciate how far I’ve come 👏🏻

It’s okay to have big goals and want more for yourself. But don’t forget to enjoy the life you’re working so hard to build ✨

Trying to lose fat while working 12-hour shifts? H Trying to lose fat while working 12-hour shifts? Here are 5 things I’d focus on as a nurse and fitness coach 👇🏼

After years of working as a nurse and coaching hundreds of women, one thing I’ve learned is that you don’t need to completely change your life to lose fat.

You need a routine you can actually stick to, even during your busiest weeks!

Here’s where I’d start ✨

1. Plan 2–3 strength workouts a week. Schedule them on your days off instead of forcing yourself to the gym after a 12-hour shift. You don’t need to work out 6 days a week to see results 👏🏻

2. Plan your food before your shifts. This has been one of the biggest things that’s helped me! Take 5–10 minutes the night before to plan your meals and snacks in MyFitnessPal. It’s so much easier to stay consistent with your nutrition goals when you already have a plan.

3. Don’t overload your days off. You don’t need to squeeze in workouts, grocery shopping, cleaning, meal prepping, and a million other things every day you’re off. That’s when you start feeling overwhelmed and like you can’t keep up. Pick a few priorities and make time to relax too 🩷

4. Keep your meals simple and prioritize protein. You don’t need to spend hours meal prepping to lose fat! Use your crockpot, grab a rotisserie chicken, and keep frozen veggies, microwave rice, and potatoes on hand. Find a few easy meals you enjoy and can throw together throughout the week. The easier you make it, the more likely you are to stay consistent!

5. Stop skipping meals to save calories. I see this ALL the time with nurses! Going your entire shift barely eating and then coming home starving makes it so much harder to stay consistent. Fuel yourself throughout the day instead of trying to eat as little as possible.

A little overdue date night with my husband and pu A little overdue date night with my husband and pumpkin waffle morning celebration.

🤍🥂🧇

Last weekend, we finally got out to celebrate Justin officially being DONE with school AND passing his boards!! So incredibly proud of him! 🥹

Life has been BUSY lately, and between work, school, and everything else we have going on, it’s been way too long since we’ve had a night out together.

As much as we have going on right now, making time to get dressed up, go out to dinner, and spend some quality time together was so needed.

Just a little reminder that even in your busiest seasons, it’s important to make time for the people and things that bring you joy 🤎

One thing nursing has taught me over the years is One thing nursing has taught me over the years is how important it is to have a life outside of work 🤎

Between long shifts, busy schedules, and everything else we have going on, it can be easy to get caught up in our routines and forget to make time for the things we actually enjoy.

For me, that looks like slow mornings with coffee, walks with my husband and our dogs, spending time at the beach, making dinner together, or just having a day where I don’t have a million things to do.

A few reminders:

✨Not every day off needs to be productive.
✨Make plans you actually look forward to.
✨Find hobbies and things you enjoy outside of nursing.
✨It’s okay to rest and do absolutely nothing sometimes.

Especially during this busy season of life between working, finishing school, and running my coaching business, I’ve realized how important it is to make time for myself too.

Your job is a big part of your life, but it doesn’t have to be your whole life!

And that’s a wrap on Romanticizing Fall as a Nurse! 🍂 Thank you for following along! Which episode was your favorite? 👇🏻

🍎🍂 Your new favorite high-protein fall breakfast! SAVE this one for later because it’s SO easy to make!

If you’re looking for a quick, high-protein breakfast before a long shift, you need to try this cinnamon apple toast! 👏🏻

Personally, I like to sauté a bunch of apples at once and keep them in the fridge for the work week. That way, all I have to do in the morning is toast my bread, add cottage cheese, and top it with the cinnamon apples. SO easy!

INGREDIENTS 🍎

- 2 slices of bread of choice (@daveskillerbread is one of my favorites)
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ½ apple, diced
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- Cinnamon to taste
- Drizzle of maple syrup or honey (optional)

DIRECTIONS 👩🏼‍🍳

1. Dice your apple into small pieces.
2. Heat coconut oil in a skillet, add apples and cinnamon, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
3. Toast your bread and spread cottage cheese evenly over both slices.
4. Top with cinnamon apples, sprinkle with extra cinnamon, and drizzle with maple syrup or honey if you’d like!

Perfect for busy mornings when you need something quick before heading into a 12-hour shift!

📌 Save this recipe to try during your next work week!
