Default Breakfast on the Go for a Toddler/Pre-schooler

Hi!

My DS1 is nearly 3. He has a lot of trouble eating when he first gets up in the morning (I am the same...) Unfortunately, if we have anything on that day, it is a real struggle to get him to eat before we leave the house.

He used to be happy to have dried cereal (especially Cheerios or Nutragrain) as a dried snack in a cup to take with him, but he doesn't like to do this anymore.

Does anyone have any ideas of yummy snacks I can use as breakfast substitutes, please?

Thanks!

Frozen, reheated pancakes.

Peanut butter and banana sandwich, with the pb and banana mashed together and spread on the bread (so the bananas don't fall out).

Muffins, made ahead and frozen, set out the night before (could be a little messy)

We do toasted multi-grain bagels with butter (no pb or jam) for our "on the run" breakfasts. Usually with some apple slices or grapes. DD (4) can manage a yogurt tube neatly enough, but DS (2) cannot.

We do Nutrigrain bars (I think you may have mentioned that), bananas, grapes, apple slices, yogurt covered raisins, cereal bars, chewy granola bars...(can you tell we do this a lot )

I don't do Poptarts or muffins because they make too much of a mess.

I do pancakes or french toast sticks. Sometimes I put it in a baggie or bowl, sometimes I just hand him one. I also do cereal and apples.

My DS would often rather drink that eat, so we usually do milkshakes. Right now we do 1/2 Pediasure and 1/2 milk - not the crunchiest option, but Shaklee makes a good mealshake mix we have used before.

Bananas, cereal bars, or a cup of kefir. Everything else is really messy.
