Thanks for the ideas! Please keep them coming. something quick to make and eat since when I work I'm already up late! Many ideas include peanut butter, which I detest(don't ask me why, I don't know why)!!!! And my daughter is allergic to treenuts(she's fine as long as she doesn't eat them), so we don't usually have those…

My breakfast is usually a yogurt, and sometimes just a half a cup of cereal for a mid morning snack, so I avoid yogurts for the rest of the day just because I like variety!

I bounce between all departments and do sales support and the cleanup after closing takes us about an hour or two, where we are solidly folding and putting stuff away. I work up a sweat.
