Every day I follow the same steps--
1: Measure out instant oatmeal in a bowl.
2: Add a measured amount of walnuts.
3: Add banana slices.
4: Add a measured amount of fat free milk.
5: Microwave for 2 minutes.
6: Let it cool down.
7: Eat.
Note: I wasn't always this healthy. In fact, I only
changed
breakfast habits to lower my cholesterol. And now that it's
lowered I continue with the regimen.
But I need to eat my breakfast in a bowl with a spoon and I
tend to get late for work (please don't ask me to wake 10
minutes earlier, it's humanly impossible.) I have often
thought about blending the whole concoction in a blender
and making a nutritious breakfast drink
Campbell's Soup has a product called "Soup at Hand" [see
link]. I would like to create a similar delivery
mechanism for my morning breakfast (the ingredients will
be blended into a drinkable form). At the store it will be
available in a variety of formats for a variety of tastes.
One variety would be the ingredients I've described above.
But for other palettes we might replace walnuts with
blueberries or add bacon for those who prefer a little
sweet and salty affair.

Carnation Instant Breakfast
http://www.nestlenu...9160CFUYDQAodGi2-nA This is a similar product if you take out the oatmeal, walnuts, and bananas. [DIYMatt, Jan 17 2012]
Tupperware's crystalwave soup bowl

Another liquid breakfast

Give it a whirl, so to speak. The night before, follow steps as you describe, place mix in blender, blend to desire consistency, place in thermos. On the morning of your breakfast, drink from thermos. Should you be enamored of the little "soup at hand" cans, save one, rinse it out, place above described mixture in can, drink. |
|
|
Personally, I just dump the oatmeal into a big tumbler, nuke it with some milk or muscle milk, and drink it. Kindof gloppy, but edible for on-the-go. |
|
|
Othertimes I throw an egg into a tupperware soup bowl, the kind with the vented lid, throw some dry oatmeal on top of that, add some water and milk or muscle milk, nuke it, and eat the whole mess in the car out of the soup bowl container. |
|
|
I'll take one egg, sausage, bacon and fried bread
smoothie, please. |
|
|
Would Sir like a specific against projectile vomiting with that ? |
|
|
[bungston] I don't want to do step 1 though 6, thus
the idea. |
|
|
Many former years of bachelorhood have made me rather flexible when it comes to the taste vs. practicality balance. |
|
|
Shirley the solution is to have Campbells Soup for breakfast? |
|
|
Hi nomadic. Long time no see. Idea...well the idea is
a little baked, I think too. But it's still good to see
you. |
|
|
// Many former years of bachelorhood have made me rather flexible when it comes to the taste vs. practicality balance. // |
|
|
Yeah, my wife still keeps asking me what I want to eat. She doesn't understand when I say "whatever is there, fastest and easiest". Flavor isn't even on my list ... usually. |
|
|
So on work days I make my own breakfast, of a little meat in wholegrain bread, with maybe some mustard if I am feeling fancy. And hot sauce. |
|
|
That gives me protein and complex carbs, is easy to eat and doesn't require leaving a bowl, spoon or cup rolling around the car all day. |
|
|
Otherwise, there are some of our daughter's breakfast "shakes" in cans in the fridge, but I haven't been that desperate yet. |
|
|
In the words of Emile the rat: "Once you can muscle your way past the gag reflex all kinds of food possibilities open up." |
|
|
I like to cook but don't usually eat breakfast except on weekends. |
|
|
(vanilla yogurt + fruit) / blender = smoothie > travel mug |
|
|
Liquid breakfast, baked and ready to drink. Want
something more substantial? Stuff your oatmeal into a
toothpaste tube and squeeze it into your mouth while you
drive. Portable/drinkable meals are nothing new. |
|
|
Hmm... oatmeal in a toothpaste tube... we could call it GOatmeal. Or, perhaps not. |
|
|
Unpleasantly reminiscent of hippo's 'lunch slurry'. <link> |
|
|
// we could call it GOatmeal. // |
|
|
Sounds like the stuff the Nanny State tries to get you to eat. |
|
|
Flavor would not be how I'd choose to describe it. |
|
|
Alright, I get it. What is the etiquette around here?
Should I delete the idea (since the suggestion is it's
baked) or leave it online? It's been so long I can't
remember community rules any more. |
|
|
The real question though is; will it blend? |
|
|
// Should I delete the idea /// |
|
|
I don't know what the community rules are anymore. If someone else wants to make a case for deletion, they can try. Myself, I tend to leave my bad ideas up as examples of what not to do. |
|
|
If there's interesting commenting, I definitely leave it up. |
|
|
// Myself, I tend to leave my bad ideas up as examples of what not to do. // |
|
|
Tautology; when did you last have a good idea ? |
|
|
Well, my posting that comment evidently wasn't a good idea. |
|
|
I say leave it. Good or bad is subjective, and all ideas (as
well as the discussions they generate) have merit. |
|
|
//Is this not a flavour?// Is beige not a colour? |

<Stoppard> Point to [8th_of_7] One-love.

[Jutta] explained why "Nasty-pops" (linked) is not a flavour in the help file sense, even though that idea is flavour-centric (in fact, flavour-concentric). I think the same applies here. It's a bit low in originality ("Like Soup at Hand, only breakfast"), but that's another matter. |
