But if you really look at the ingredients/nutrition profile it's not that amazing for one cookie--it's 3 g fiber for a pack, not one cookie. Kids are so constipated these days they are on daily doses of miralax, but people continue to give them processed foods. I don't claim to be perfect, we give our kids treats and all of that, I just don't think a processed cookie is a good substitute for a healthy breakfast (neither is a frozen waffle, IMO, but that's another thread).


It's actually not hard to make a batch of homemade muffins or even cookies with real ingredients like oats, eggs, apples, raisins, butter/coconut oil, etc. Make a huge batch one Sunday a month and freeze and just take out to defrost. Mini muffins in particular defrost quickly.

My kids love mini muffins. I actually make a batch from bran flakes, applesauce, dates, raisins, and prunes. Doesn't sound yummy when I list out the main ingredients but they're really tasty. My kids refer to them as poop muffins. They know that when they're stomach hurts they should eat one or two muffins. It gets the job done. They also know not to eat one before school.

lol at poop muffins! Will you post the recipe???
