Kellogg's Love Your Cereal Mom's Breakfast Club- Week 4
I want to tell you that we always have time for a complete breakfast around here.
I want you to believe I get up and cook a hot breakfast in the cold of winter each morning before I lovingly send my family out into the world.
I also want a pony, but that's probably not going to happen, so you can imagine that my previous 2 statements may be a bit lacking in truthiness.
The fact is, I have 2 teenagers with variable eating habits, and an 8 year old that is like me, and really doesn't get hungry until the middle of the morning.
Combine that with us all needing to leave the house by 7am for three different places each weekday and a busy sports schedule on the weekends, some mornings we're lucky to have clothes on by the time we hit the door, much less a complete, sit-down breakfast.
On those in-a-hurry mornings, we are all about the cereal bars:
(Please note, this is my actual pantry, it was not specially stocked for this post, the Nutrigrain Bars are possibly the reason my children are still alive.)
The kids scoop them up and run when we're late, or have to be somewhere at the crack of dawn. I think Busy Dad even keeps a box of them in his car. They're also often my youngest kid's morning snack at school since he may or may not have eaten the breakfast he was served at home.
What's your go-to breakfast when you're in a hurry at home?
Cereal can be a convenient and affordable part of a balanced, nutritious breakfast. Want to know more? Check out Kellogg's Love Your Cereal.

My in-a-hurry breakfast is either just a bottle of milk (hey, it's a LITTLE healthy), or a baggie of dry cereal. It's come to the point that I actually prefer dry cereal to cereal with milk, I'm so used to it.

Any kind of granola bar that I can easily eat in the car is my in-a-hurry breakfast.

Our in a hurry breakfast IS cereal or granola bar Or poptart. Sometimes the cereal is in a baggy and eaten on the way...
I love to have a rice cake with peanut butter and bananas on top. It can be eaten on the run! I have gluten issues so this is great for me.
The kids have even taken a waffle with peanutbutter, fold it and they are on the run...I just make sure they have a glass of milk for protein to slam before they head out!
thanks much!

Poptart, banana, or granola bar. Sometimes I freeze the leftover pancakes from the weekend. Then I can just pop it in the microwave or toaster and I'm good to go!

I love Nutrigrain bars. Haven't had them in a while so thanks for the reminder!
By Amy, At 2:04 PM, September 03, 2010
Toasted waffles with pb&j. I make our own jam, so it has less sugar (and sort of counts as a fruit, right?) and of course natural peanut butter has lots of protein and some fat to help ward off the hungries. The waffle is just a neat package.

If I have bananas, those are the easiest to grab. Pop Tarts or granola bars are next. Then maybe prepackaged peanut butter and crackers.

There are some mornings when even cereal takes too much time for us. I feel like the world's worst mommy on those mornings and make my daughter take a cereal bar or donut so I know she at least ate SOMETHING. Heck, even a cookie reduces my mom-guilt.

Our go to on the go breakfast (meaning me every morning at four in the morning when there's little to no competition) are PopTarts. Only I Call them Toaster Pastries, because I can't say the word "tart" and keep a straight face. Love the un-frosted ones (Kellog's doesn't source their gelatin and I don't eat most meat!)
I did as a kid and miss em. Horribly.
