prose Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I am looking for some healthy breakfast ideas that I can make ahead of time, or purchase ahead of time for the kids. Smoothies are hard in the car, as are Popsicle-type things. They need to be able to eat them in my car, so keep that in mind... Okay... Go!

XIX Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 2 nurtrigrain bars and an apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizz_loves_jesus Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Peanut butter and banana sandwiches on toast. Or fruit could work too, as long as it's the right kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddington Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Fiber One bars "oats and caramel" are extremely delicious imo. But, like all bars, they are a total rip-off unless you go to Sam's or Costco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HisChildForever Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Yogurt is great. And the night before, you can chop up fruit for a sort of fruit salad and, of course, keep it in the fridge to preserve the fruit until the morning: apples, grapes, peaches, blueberries, strawberries, etc. Dry cereal for the car, like cheerios.

CatherineM Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Peanut butter between waffles like a sandwich. No jelly, that gets messy. Out of the fridge, the peanut butter is solid enough that it doesn't squeeze out. They are also really quiet while eating them. English muffin, Canadian bacon and coagulated milk, or sausage and coagulated milk. My boys used to like to put those pre-made hashbrown squares on theirs. Sometimes I'd make a micro-waved egg to slap on it while we were getting around in the morning. We tried granola bars, but they'd get hungry before lunch. With a heavy protein/fat, they never got hungry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prose Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 I have been sticking to basically the fruit thing, and I can't really use anything with peanut butter (in case someone in Anna's class has allergies).... I figured there must be some sort of bars I could make or SOMETHING. sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A family I know with nut allergies uses that all the time. I, myself, am a granola bar type girl. I pretty much live off of those things for the school year.

StColette Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Those bagel to go things are pretty good lol anything with apple butter or pumpkin butter on it. Um those cereal bars are good. The ones with the "milk" in the middle. Milk n' Cereal bars I believe are what they are called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prose Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 I was thinking about some sort of homemade trail mix... Or perhaps some sort of home made bars... Dry cereal is a good idea. So long as it is healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Here's two recipes I used for the Boy Scouts for backpacking trips Breakfast Apple Bars 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1/2 cup quick-cooking rolled oats 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 cup cooking oil 1/4 cup applesauce 3 tablespoons honey 1/2 tsp vanilla 3/4 cup mixed dried fruit bits 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional) Spray 10X6X2 inch baking dish. Mix flour, oats, baking soda, and cinnamon, set aside. In another bowl stir oil, applesauce, honey, and vanilla. Stir the applesauce mixture into the flour mixture. Spread in dish, bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Makes 16 bars. My boys liked mango and pineapple sometimes and raisins and apricots other times. You can also try sunflower seeds. I even used pumpkin seeds once and replaced the applesauce with caned pumpkin, and they loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
