Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation™ Power Up with Protein: Refuel and Recharge challenge, sponsored by Premier Protein
Nurses know better than most that sustainable energy isn’t just about getting through a shift, it’s about having enough left over for life beyond work. Yet long hours, unpredictable schedules, skipped meals, and chronic fatigue can make sustained energy feel out of reach.
The Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation™ Power Up with Protein: Refuel and Recharge challenge, sponsored by Premier Protein is designed to meet nurses where they are, supporting energy through balanced nourishment, movement, rest, and mindset.
In this 10 day challenge, you’ll focus on simple, realistic habits that support proper fueling, recovery, health and well-being, without extremes, tracking, or pressure. Each day offers one small action that fits into real nursing life, whether you’re working days, nights, or something in between.
You don’t need perfection. You need consistency, compassion, and habits that work in real life.
Though this challenge concluded on March 20, 2026, we invite you to try this challenge with a nurse colleague or a loved one. Get started here.
Warning: Individual nutrition needs vary. If you have specific health conditions or questions about your dietary needs, consider speaking with your healthcare provider.

How are you doing in the challenge?
Premier protein has helped me lose weight and stay full after I had weight loss surgery
I have increased my protein intake daily. Starting each day with a Premier Protein Shake.
@Carrie D. What's your go-to flavor?
I have increased my protein intake and last lesson i learnt how to choose high protein shake from the high calories shakes, by adding a zero to the protein grams the no. should be less than total calories.
@Njango Great tip!! That makes figuring it out so much easier!
Doing great
The assessment/survey at the beginning made me realize how I need to improve my daily nutrition. Often times, I get so focused on the physical aspect of health (running/work outs) but I do not feel like I do as good a job at making sure I am fueling my body. This challenge gives me ways to better store, preserve, and promote eating fruits and veggies!
Learning how to properly store food is great for reducing waste while keeping them fresh!
I honestly had no idea fruits and veggies needed to be stored a certain way to preserve them. We just assume the fridge means they will last longer when we might actually be doing the opposite. I am going to go home and go through my fruit bowl on the table and veggie drawer in the fridge and see where I can improve to make the food last longer.
Great tips on how to preserve fruits and vegetables.
It is so important to preserve food to prevent waste and have items last longer Deb Stuart RN
I am looking forward to this challenge. I am curious to see just in fact how much food we waste in our household. We dont even realize we are doing it but now that I have to truly focus on it I am looking forward to the outcome. This will help me to be more mindful of food i buy and cook and how much.
