Two Weeks of Breakfast Prep

Happy Tuesday!

I start my first job as a nurse next week and the training schedule is pretty hectic, so I figured this week is the perfect time to start getting back into my meal prepping routine that I did when I was in nursing school. For the next two work weeks i’ll be having protein waffles & breakfast sandwiches for breakfast (along with whatever fruit I buy). Here’s how I made them:

—

Breakfast Sandwiches

• English muffin, sliced in half

• Sprinkle of shredded mexican cheese blend

• Frozen cooked turkey sausage patty (the great value brand is the perfect size) or cooked bacon (I make bacon in large batches and freeze it)

• 1 Egg, whisked to break the yolk

I use a Hamilton Beach breakfast sandwiches maker for these and it’s amazing! I first place the bottom half of my english muffin, then sprinkle a tiny bit of cheese as my “glue”, then place the sausage patty, then the egg on the next layer on the machine, and close it until the egg is cooked. Then I add more cheese as “glue” and top it with the other half of the english muffin. I take 1 out the night before and microwave in the morning. They are so good!

Protein Waffles

• 1 cup flavored protein powder

• 1 cup milk

• 4 eggs

I use a 4” waffle maker for these. The recipe listed makes approximately 10 waffles (I made 2 flavors this time but only a half batch of each). Just combine the ingredients and scoop the batter into the waffle maker. Easy peasy! I eat 2 every morning. There’s probably better recipes out there but I like mine nice and simple. I take these straight from the freezer and toast them twice in the morning. I top mine things like honey, peanut butter, and cinnamon depending on my mood.

Hope these inspired someone today! Wish me luck at my new job. Happy meal prepping 🙂
