I just thought I would ask and save myself trip to the store to seek it out and read a label. Cereals that are good for me and GF are hard to come by. I found one that is GF, high fiber 6g, and moderate fat 3 g, per serving but it is sort of flat tasting and I prefer it with the soy yogurt which I have been trying to stay away from. My breakfast foods vary at any rate. Sometimes I eat the rice with the umeboshi, sometimes I go for it and have the Perky's Crunchy Flax cereal with vanilla soy yogurt (the cereal from above) and lately it has been corn tortillas with fat-free refried beans. I get sick of one and switch. Always offer kindness and a soft word to the beings around you; You do not know their journey. Your words can be the hug they need or the shove that breaks them.

When a product has soy isolates in it, is that what it says on the side of the box? I have been alternating between oatmeal and Kashi Cereal. I eat the Kashi 7 grain flakes mixed with Kashi Go Lean Crunch.. One of the ingredients is soy protein concentrate. That is not what you are talking about right? thank you

Bugsmom Joined: 09/13/10 Posts: 2068	RE: Breakfast help Posted Thursday, October 14, 2010 at 8:30 AM I've seen some of the Kashi cereals that say soy protein concentrate and others that say soy protein isolates. Not sure if they are interchangeable identifiers or if they are somewhat different things. A lot of the flake cereals in general tend not to have soy (bran flakes for example) but son is not into flakes (they sog too quickly) and I don't want to be buying 3 or 4 different varieties of cereal (that gets expensive!) Cereal is one of my go-to quick comfort foods oddly enough. --Deb

Then, when you're ready for a bowl of oatmeal, scoop some out into a bowl, microwave for 1 minute and enjoy. Perfect oatmeal every time!

Bugsmom Joined: 09/13/10 Posts: 2068	RE: Breakfast help Posted Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 1:20 PM you can also put oatmeal and plant milk in a bowl (same proportions as you would with water), add favorite sweet (agave or maple syrup for instance), and dried fruit of choice, maybe a dash of cinnamon, cover and refrigerate overnight. Then, you can warm it or just eat it cold like that in for a cool breakfast in the summer that isn't boxed cereal. Hubby will sometimes make a big batch of oatmeal and then we just reheat it as you noted. Oatmeal is easy enough but I find cold cereals to be a "comfort food" in a way that oatmeal isn't. --Deb

I am staying somewhere I don't have a kitchen, just outlets and I don't trust microwaves and don't have one.

Oceandog Joined: 01/10/10 Location: California, USA Posts: 642	RE: Breakfast help Posted Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 2:17 PM I do too, but until I have a kitchen again..... My rice cooker has a porridge setting, which I thought would be the same thing but it isn't. The oatmeal foams over and overcooks! But for a cooking rice, it is awesome!

theodore Joined: 09/16/10 Posts: 641	RE: Breakfast help Posted Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 4:24 PM My Dear Oceandog What about one of those portable electric stoves. Like this type of thing: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Double-Boiling-Table-White-Colour/dp/B0013HGFF8/ref=pd_cp_ce_0 Or maybe there's a cafe near you that does porridge with soya milk. Or what about marrying someone who's got a kitchen. Theodore Never make assumptions. You'll end up being an A**, and the UMP will TION you. -- Coach Smiley -- Fresh Prince of Bel Air

I accept! Seriously though, my exile will only be a few more months and I have a burner and will get a non nonstick, non aluminum pot over Thanksgiving. So oatmeal is in sight... hooray!
