Healthy car food.

[55palfers]

How old are the children and are they capable of feeding themselves successfully?

That would mean getting up before 06:00 some mornings, so no, that would not be the healthiest or best solution.

6am...Not healthy...? Nope. Couldn't possibly wake up the snowflakes that early...

Or did you mean to say 4am?

Why would you get up before 6am if you didn't have to?

That's still night time.

Early birds get the best worms.


Later birds get some convenience food shoved towards them in the car

I find bananas very convenient.

Christ there are some judgemental wkers in this thread.

I am not going to expand upon schooltime logistics, whether we spend enough time eating together as a family, what time I think is suitable to wake up my children or anything else of that nature.

Yes, I do know what healthy food is. However, we are running out of good ideas as regards delivering it in a format that is easily consumed in the car whilst not ending up over the seats, floor, windows, roof lining etc.

Now, would everyone with a Mumsnet disposition kindly fk off and read the Observer. Anyone with something helfpul to contribute I'd be delighted to hear from.

overnight oats? pot them up and there ready to take out the fridge and eat in the back of the car. loads of other things you can chuck in to add variety both for flavour and diet.

Oompf do protein porridge, nice flavours too.

Some fruit and a bottle of water. Other stuff like sloppy oats etc etc is just going to make a mess if it gets spilled. An apple and some blueberries OTOH, won't.

Mrs Bomb has this most mornings. Made the evening before - tastes like cheesecake but its very healthy. One pot and a plastic spoon. Easy peasey.

It's a good idea and need not be too messy in a pot with a lid.

Lazy barsteward. Some of us do that most days, mainly to avoid the school run mums who clog the roads if you leave the house after 7am.
