Quaker Breakfast Shakes come in three delicious flavors. My personal favorite is chocolate of course, but you can also get them in Strawberry and Vanilla. (My daughter loved the strawberry). The shakes are great because they really are incredibly smooth and not chalky in any way. You would never guess that each shake is blended with 8g of wholegrains. To me that is an added benefit to the 10g of protein they contain. I try to always have protein for breakfast so if I don't have time for my peanut butter toast then one of these shakes works great as a substitute and is just as filling. I'm never left feeling like I need any other snacks in the morning.
Since I'm dealing with less sleep than normal and I'm still trying to limit my caffeine intake I've found these shakes also make great snack substitutes in the afternoon. On days when I'm feeling sluggish I can drink one of these shakes to give myself a little boost.
Quaker Breakfast Shakes are available at Walmart and other select grocery stores. Be sure to print your coupon to Save $2.00 on any one 4-pack of Quaker Breakfast Shakes.

My daughter is grown so I don't have any more kids in the house. I remember hectic mornings though. I would do everything she needed to take to school done the night before. Then we could relax and eat breakfast together. I was a single mom so it was nice to eat with her in the mornings. These shakes look really good. I'm going to walmart to Easter shop so I may have to buy a couple of these to try. Thank you for the great giveaway :)

Agree with doing chores before you go to bed so you don't have to wake up to dirty dishes and such. Coffee is a good incentive to get out of bed, for me.

ReplyDeleteMorning routine: Let dogs out, feed cats, feed dogs, clean litter box, brush dogs, and brush cats. Then I drink my first eight ounces of water of the day. I have oatmeal and toast (sometimes biscuits) for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteI manage busy mornings by showering in the evenings before bed, laying out my clothes the night before, making sure the kitchen is stocked with easy breakfast items (hard-boiled eggs and muffins are my favorite), and (if at all possible) having a few minutes of devotional/quiet time to make sure I center myself before starting my day.

ReplyDeleteI honestly do not do a very good job managing my mornings. I try to do as much as I can the night before to make the mornings less hectic but they still seem fairly hectic.
ReplyDeleteI dont! I just roll with it and try to get everything done.

I try to pack my husband's lunch the night before if possible. I usually make a quick breakfast for him (like oatmeal) to help him out in the morning because if I don't he won't eat a healthy breakfast.
ReplyDeleteI get up before everyone else so that I can take some time to myself!
ReplyDeleteI try to have things figured out the night before.

ReplyDeleteUgh. . . my mornings. . . my 3 1/2 yr old has thankfully quit coming in and waking me up at 4am since I had a talk with her about waiting for daylight. . . now at the FIRST signs of light, she comes running in, throws open my blinds and says "wake up ! It's DAYLIGHTS!" . Hubby gets in the shower, and the noise wakes up both my 1 1/2 yr old and the cat. . . who both instantly start complaining that breakfast is not in front of them yet. . I make breakfast for cat, hubs, and kids, get lunch ready for hubs, then I am instantly bombarded with the 1 1/2 yr old wanting to play outside and my daughter wanting a craft. . . . I often forget to do things like eat breakfast and brush my teeth until well past 10 am :o

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I have been managing my mornings too well since moving into this house a few months ago. Everyone is getting up at separate times and eating breakfast randomly. My hubby and I usually have coffee together before he leaves, but I need to work on a little more organization for our mornings.
ReplyDeleteSince I am retired no my mornings are not too hectic, just a bunch of cats looking at me to be fed! I always have coffee and something to eat for breakfast but not always the healthiest choices as I gravitate toward sweets.
