I usually do a pretty good job of making a wholesome breakfast for myself, but some mornings with a 3 month old don't allow me that luxury. Some of you may know that Dr. McDougall is one of the reasons that I eat a vegan diet so I was actually pretty excited to see that there were easy meals like this out there that are "McDougall approved". Even so, I wouldn't have bought these under normal circumstances- they are leftover from food I brought to the hospital when I gave birth to baby Zoey. I was worried that the hospital wouldn't have good food so I came prepared. Mr. Zoey and I seriously showed up with 2 full bags of groceries and a cooler full of fruit. You can never be too prepared!
It turned out that the hospital actually had really good food and we had a lot of leftovers from our stockpile to bring home. This breakfast was one of those leftovers.
I heated up some water and added it to the cereal while I played with baby Zoey for about 5 minutes. I added 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed too for the Omega 3s.
Here it is all mixed up and it was actually really good! This isn't a flavor that I would have picked out on my own (Mr. Zoey picked some of the flavors) but it might be my favorite one. Or, it might be that any food that is easy to prepare tastes amazing while you are entertaining a baby.
There are also some lunch/ dinner meals like this that we have and never ate so I may give some of those a try.

There's a lot to be said about handy foods like this when you've got a new family. I keep seeing McDougall's name branded around the vegan interwebs but I have no ide who he is. Spose I should google him really.
He is a doctor who advocates a starch/plant based diet. I like some of the breakfast meals he makes, but not the other ones.
I like his diet/medical advice the best. I hold his opinions/advice in very high regard.
He has a great website with a really nice forum too...

Every now and then it must be nice to treat yourself to a different brekky.
I like Dr McDougall's idea on food and what we should be eating.
I like those too..I haven't had one in a few years but when I was really into McDougall I snapped them up whenever I could find them in the market. There was a raspberry flavor that I remember being delicious!
Dr. McDougall, a board certified internist, is at the top of the list of expert on vegan diets. He's been at this since the late 70's. I've been following the advice from his books and video lectures for well over a decade. His website is:

He just came out with a new line of Ready-To-Serve vegan soups.
