ISO On the Go Breakfast Ideas

[Guest guest]

Robin,

I sympathize with the getting up at that hr. My son started middle school

and has a 6:30 bus.

Maybe a waffle sandwich, with nut butter or just regular bread. What about

soy bacon or sausage in a pita with cheese and veggies.

I don't know how eating a yogurt would do for her. Sometimes my son will

eat miso soup in the morning. The breakfast burrito would be a great choice.

She could take mints with her or Spry gum. It has xylitol so it helps to change

the pH to alkaline in the mouth. Plus it's vegan and would take care of the

breath issue.

Hope this helps!

We eat bagels on the mornings that my daughter has to skate before school.

Several varieties are vegan - you can look on peta's accidently vegan list to

find some. I wouldn't want her to bagels everyday but it works on the mornings

that we are pressed for time getting out of the house by 5:20am.

We have entered the world of " morning rush for school bus. " Getting my daughter

on a bus at 6:05 has been brutal. Getting a healthy breakfast in her is proving

to be the most challenging part. She needs something to eat while we walk to the

bus. She would probably eat the organic " pop tarts " every day, but they have too

much sugar. She does have a glass of enriched soy milk before she does anything.

She won't eat a breakfast burritto because she has decided that it will give her

bad breath (I suspect that this is because she is developing and interest in

boys, I am so not ready for this); she'll have a smoothie once week, but told me

they aren't good in cold weather. The school had junk-filled vending machines

that are very tempting for a hungry child. Other than a tortilla or piece of

toast with egg and cheese, does anyone have ideas?

I haven't tried these yet (I don't have all of the ingredients yet), but I

thought they would be a good breakfast. You would have to make them the

night before. All my kids want is cereal in the morning. Sometimes pop-tarts

(dh loves them) or toast with juice or milk, they like to dip the toast. I

haven't tried scrambled tofu since I stopped buying eggs. They loved

scrambled or boiled eggs. I want to get a waffle iron so I can make a bunch

of waffles and freeze them, like Eggo waffles.

 

While they aren't completely vegetarians yet, I'm trying to get them to

start eating healthier. Our diet had deteriorated over the years when I was

sick.

 

Luckily school here doesn't start until 9:00, the bus picks up at 8:30. Much

better than the 6:25 we had in Alabama!

How about breakfast bars? They're easy to eat while walking to the

bus. Bars made out of oats, nuts and dried fruit are healthful and

filling. You could probably find those at most health food stores or

grocery stores with a health food section, or make your own out of

the same ingredients: Here is a recipe for oatmeal bars:

 

 

OATMEAL BARS

 

 

PG TESTED

 

These oatmeal bars are a great alternative to many similar pre-

packaged products. You can freeze them for future use.

 

3 cups whole oats

2/3 cup whole-wheat flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/3 cup honey

1/3 cup walnut oil

1 egg, beaten

3 tablespoons orange juice or water

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

 

Combine oatmeal, flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together in a

large bowl and mix well. In a separate bowl, combine honey, oil,

egg, orange juice or water, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly. Combine the

dry and wet ingredients and mix again.

 

Using a spatula, press mixture firmly onto a lightly oiled cookie

sheet, forming one large rectangle about 1/3 inch thick. Smooth the

edges with the edge of the spatula. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until

light brown and firm. Remove from oven and cool. Using a sharp

knife, cut the rectangles into smaller 1 1/2-by-3 1/2-inch

rectangles.

 

Makes about 24 bars.

This sounds really good; I'll pick up the walnut oil on my next trip to the

store.
