Healthy car food.

[13m]

Mrs 13M is back at work for a few weeks and needs to feed the children breakfast in the car. They like sausage rolls, but as we are trying not to raise them porky we need some quick, healthy food that can be consumed easily in the car.

Anyy ideas chaps please?

Surely the healthiest and best solution is to set the alarm clock for 20mins earlier and give them breakfast at home properly.

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

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.

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

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.

Ah, I used to eat loads of Bircher muesli. Very moreish.

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.
