Nurse Becky: Nurse Becky's Favorite Snacks
By Maggie Aime, RN
NO LUNCH BREAK? You're in good company because Nurse Becky is always one step ahead when it comes to satisfying snack cravings. While the rest of us are sneaking a bite of boring graham crackers and peanut butter from the supply room (we won't name names), Nurse Becky is on a whole different snacking level. We're talking about the real deal here — her snack game is lit!
Celsius Kiwi Guava When she can’t get her hands on coffee, Nurse Becky turns to Celsius Sparkling Kiwi Guava to keep her from tripping on her own feet (that’s if she’s not wearing Danskos again)! This magical drink is a flavor explosion of kiwi and guava that transports her straight to a tropical oasis while keeping her caffeinated (please and thank you!). Celsius Sparkling Kiwi Guava is not your average beverage — it's packed with the invigorating combination of green tea extract, guarana seed extract, ginger root, and more. So, if you spot Nurse Becky clutching a can of Celsius Sparkling Kiwi Guava, know she’s ready! $2.15 celsius.com
Werther’s Original Caramel Hard Candies Oh, Werther's Original! Nurse Becky is obsessed with them and for good reason. These creamy caramel hard candies are like a warm hug, giving her a much-needed momentary escape from the stress of a long shift. After dealing with cranky patients, annoying alarms, and endless charting, who wouldn’t need a little candy pick-me-up? She might even share one with you if you're lucky — as long as you don’t mind keeping it on the down low. And don’t miss her impressive caramel-unwrapping skills! $5.99 werthers-original.us
Doritos Spicy Sweet Chili When it comes to chips, Nurse Becky knows there's no room for bland and boring. With each crunchy bite, these Doritos Spicy Sweet Chili chips deliver a tongue-tingling combination of spicy (ok,just a smidge of spicy) and sweet that will have your taste buds feeling glorious. Once she starts, things can get messy. Oh, snap! Wet wipes, STAT! $4.59 doritos.com
Belvita Crunchy Cinnamon Brown Sugar Skipping breakfast again? Not Nurse Becky! She cracked the code to a perfect breakfast-on-the-go: Belvita Crunchy Cinnamon Brown Sugar biscuits. When time is tight (because let’s face it, snooze buttons are oh-so-tempting), she reaches for these little pieces of goodness with a knowing grin. Packed with nutrition and a delicious cinnamon-infused crunch, they give her the boost she needs to handle the occasional code brown (yes, we said it) and even do the Zosyn shake (if you know, you know)! $3.87 mondelezinternational.com
Kind Minis Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt Let’s face it, a little chocolate therapy can work wonders, especially during a hectic shift, and Nurse Becky always has a stash of these Kind Minis close by. With the rich blend of dark chocolate, crunchy nuts, and a touch of sea salt, these minis bring a burst of flavor that's more satisfying than finding the best parking spot at the hospital. Whether sneaking a mini between rounds or bribing a patient to lay off the call bell with a chocolatey peace offering, these delights always have Nurse Becky's back. $16.25 for a pack of 20 kindsnacks.com
Veggie Straws Sea Salt Veggie Straws Sea Salt is probably the closest Nurse Becky comes to eating her veggies. These are not your average chips —they're made from a mouthwatering blend of potatoes, tomatoes, and spinach, shaped into crispy straws that are simply irresistible. And with just the right amount of sea salt on top, Nurse Beckly can’t get enough. With 130 calories per serving and gluten-free goodness, she can snack to her heart’s content without a care in the world. Well, what’s new? $4.35 sensibleportions.com
Starry "Forget the caffeine, honey. I'm all about the fizzy magic of Starry today!" exclaimed Nurse Becky. This soda sensation that's making waves in the lemon-lime flavor category has captured Nurse Becky's heart (and taste buds) with its crisp, refreshing taste. With both Regular and Zero Sugar versions available, Nurse Becky knows that Starry is the perfect sidekick when a little fizz is all she needs. But, be warned, she just might… Oops! She shakes it… Run! $3.57 starrylemonlime.com
Wonderful Honey Roasted Pistachios Picture this: Nurse Becky in the middle of a code. Amidst the chaos, and with a twinkle in her eye, she calmly reaches into her pocket and pulls out a handful of Wonderful Honey Roasted Pistachios. The sound of her chewing momentarily pauses the frenzy earning her the side eye from her fellow nurses. Unfazed, she continues to savor her sweet and savory pistachios. When every second counts, having a snack that requires zero effort is a dream come true. No shells to crack, no mess — just pure snacking satisfaction. $7.99 wonderfulpistachios.com
