Anyone know of one?
For breakfast we normally eat english muffins or oatmeal. Niether of which work well in a hotel.
I do not want to buy one (both due to cost and time) but I also do not want to have to do cheereos, which don't fill you up for long (all carbs, and no matter what they say not enough complex ones at that)
I have been racking my brain for weeks now and nothing is comming up except pb sandwhiches..and if we use them for breakfast what will we pack for lunch?
Sigh, travel had better be worth it!
no preservatives, no cook, no mess, healthy breakfast?

Apples and peanut butter is good too.

I'd purchase one of those tiny hot pots in which to boil the water, and I'd get a wide-mouthed thermos.
I do NOT have the correct recipe, but I've read all about cooking it overnight in a thermos. It goes something like this....
The night before, before going to bed:
Boil the water, pour into the wide-mouthed thermos, BRIEFLY, to warm the thermos - return water quickly to the hotpot and bring back to a boil.
Open the packet of instant oatmeal, a tiny package of raisons, and put in the thermos; pour in the boiling water and stir well.
Put the cover on the thermos, seal well.
Next morning it should be the right temp & consistency to eat.
It seems like in a hotel it would be simple to locate small cartons of milk and sugar packets.
And when you finish eating, simply fill the thermos with water, and wash it out well that evening before you prepare the following morning's breakfast.
This is also supposed to work well with instant Cream of Wheat, instant Malto-Meal, etc.
Try doing a websearch on something like "thermos cookery" or disaster preparedness - there's quite a bit of info about it online.
If you decide to do fruit for breakfast - I'd suggest a banana and a bowl of peanuts in the shell, MAYBE that would provide enough energy until lunch.

fruit btw is too sugary to last long, though I usually add it to whatever we cook.

Some hotels offer continental or simple buffet breakfast in their lobby area. Again, check the website or email and ask. They won't think it's an odd question, business travelers are always asking what's in the room and what's available for breakfast.
