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.
Slight alternative is to soak the oats in apple juice and milk. Then in the morning, stir in some yogurt and whatever seeds, fruit, nuts you want.

If you google 'Bircher Muesli', you'll see what I mean.

Couple of shakers, oats, milk and a spoon of nutella, peanut butter or some fruit and make a quick smoothie.

They can then drink their breakfast whilst getting a decent fill.

My little girl likes these as a mid morning snack now and then but no reason why they wouldn't make a good breakfast

Scarily similar to my breakfasts of times past!

My suggestion:

Get a plastic storage box (like the big lunchboxes)
Half fill with porridge
Add cinnamon and shake
Pour in about 500ml of apple juice
A tablespoon of honey
Cover the top with frozen berries
Add a pot of yoghurt on top (I use Otken raspberry and wheat)
Allow to chill overnight

Blend into a sludgy mix. Devour.

I find that it's great in the morning and to avoid snacking over the course of the morning.

A very poor man version of MOMA!

When people have seen me eat it I get the "WTF is that?" but most, when they taste it, try to gobble up more or ask how I made it.

Probably as unhealthy as all get out of course....

They are currently not big oats fans, but I think we are going to try to educate them because something like your recipe would be good.

There is so much sugar in those ^^^ flapjack things that they'll need to clean their teeth afterwards. Not so easy in a car. Not massively healthy either, but few snacks are.

How about a smoothie made from fruit and veg? I worked with a chef who used to blend up all sorts of fruit and veg into nice smoothies. He reckoned that as long as you include apples for sweetness and banana as a tasty filler you could put in loads of veg.

62-71% Fruit sugar? And then they write a "No added sugar" label to the front rofl Most of the off the shelf packaged stuff from large companies are a compromise, avoid.
