Breakfast ideas for breakfast haters - SATs approaching

[Anonymous]

What are something small, loaded with fiber & protein that could sustain person who gets extra time through long standardized tests?

Eggs not necessarily an option so early.

Maybe get up way before test so gets appetite?

Honestly, if this person does not normally eat a substantial breakfast and manages to get through the first half of a day, I would not change anything. The disruption to the routine/digestion could do more harm than good.

Nuts. Bars, - I do t eat breakfast but if I’m worried about being able to get lunch, these items tide me over without making me feel too full too early.

I *don’t* eat breakfast…

My student who normally does not eat breakfast had a cup of plain yogurt (which they don’t much like) and a banana. They took a couple of granola bars that they ate during the snack break. They understood the need to fuel the machine in unusual circumstances -whether they were hungry or not.

Whatever they like eating at other times. Protein bar or shelf stable shake? Jerky? Pbj?

Banana slices on PB. Absolutely do NOT cut into their sleep time.

Honestly, if your kid is old enough to take the SAT they are old enough to figure this out. Remind them how long they will be there and ask if they want to eat before and what snacks they want to bring.

As a non breakfast eater I find that eating breakfast just makes me hungrier earlier than I normally would be, so forcing something on them may be a bad idea.

Also, it's the SAT, not a hike. They will be ok either way.

+1, PB and banana on toast is great

I have a teen like this who dislikes breakfast. For SAT and ACT days, we used those frozen açaí bowls, overnight oats, or avocado toast.
Not having breakfast was NOT an option. Those tests are looooong

Pretty sure they aren’t allowed to bring snacks now. It’s gotten more strict. Anyway online SAT is soon upon us.

You just described a banana

Ham and cheese rolled up in a tortilla.

I like cottage cheese with great fresh fruit (like cut up peaches).

If they eat cereal, you can use FairLife milk, which has a whole lot more protein than regular milk (and get one with nuts).

peanut butter and jelly, on warm bread/english muffin?
