Breakfast

[stickat04]

I am looking for some more ideas for a power breakfast. While on trail, I am drinking 2 servings of carnations with powdered milk. I also eat a Balance bar about 30 minutes later. That is about 600 calories.

What are you eating for breakfast?

Looks like you're more about a quick breakfast, but on a cold morning nothing warms me up like some nice hot oatmeal with powdered milk and raisins!

Throw a fried pie on top of that and you'd be over 1000 calories. Most Little Debbies can get you to that point.

Amen to that! I eat that as well and add some honey to it. I get those small tubes of differant flavored honey and pour that over the top of my oatmeal. I like to put sliced almonds and brown sugar as well.

Where do you buy those individual servings of honey? I make pancakes (one big thick one) in my Bakepacker lite, but haven't found a source of syrup packets yet.

Syrup packets.

Honey.

www.minimus.biz has all kinds of singl serve packets. They have syrup in cups but none that I could find in just packets. Their honey can be found here http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=7477

I open one or two packets of instant oatmeal, add powdered milk, boiling water and top with a mix of dried fruit and nuts. mmmmmmmmm! Of course there's coffee with that.

muesli with craisins and pecans! you can eat it warm or cold i suppose? i just throw the mixture into the grease pot with the boiling water that is leftover after pouring a big cup of hot tea. it doesn't take much water to hydrate the muesli and it turns it into an oatmeal like consistency. you can also add some powdered milk or those little packets of coffee creamer or even peanut butter.

Honey buns. 2 fer a dollar, 900 calories.

I sometimes carry a small "travel bottle" of honey. Some grocery stores also have honey "straws".

I mix it up. Cream of rice with honey, milk and dried fruit. Oatmeal with honey and dried fruit. Bagels toasted over the last nights coals if there are any. Grits with lots of butter and cheese. Eggs, pancakes and sausage if I've been in town or am fresh on the trail. Even in summer I'm going to make coffee, I might as well have a hot breakfast. My biggest issue used to be 5 days of oatmeal. I get bored with it and start tearing into my gorp supply or lunch stuff. I try not to eat the same meal twice in a week.

PS- Honey packets at Popeye's Chicken. I get a few everytime I stop there.

Oatmeal and hot cocoa.
Homemade granola bars
If there's time and my hubby is cooking - cheesy quesadillas

for me, it's mostly oatmeal with powdered milk... i added some olive oil once, in an attempt to put back some of the fat that the powdered milk lacked... it was 'just ok'... usually i just eat it with nothing added. you can also get that packaged pre-cooked bacon and eat it cold... not quite as good without the scrambled eggs and cheese, but still, good protein... i've also eaten granola bars, but i like something warmer.

my daughter prefers pop tarts.

On a cold morning I like to eat something cold like granola and milk and start moving, then walk myself warm and stop and brew a hot drink.

Honey packets? Starbucks, on the counter with straws and napkins.

[mkmangold]

I have powdered milk, dry cereal, dehydrated milk, beef and turkey jerky, raisins, craisins, ramen noodles, and now powdered peanut butter. Is there a powdered honey? I hate lugging around water.

[Erin]

Gosh, I wish I liked oatmeal, I have tried and tried and can't stand it.It is so good for you, filling, nutritional, but I just hate it. I did not grow up with it, I grew up with grits. Sooo, for me a luxury hot breakfast is instant grits with velveeta cheese, cubed, but the usual is a Luna Bar with my coffee. Like everyone else, I collect packets from places....honey, taco sause,mayo, relish.
Is there really powdered peanut butter? I love peanut butter but it is heavy.
