Looking for ideas...

I loved Marni's suggestions!

Maybe brown rice or farro wheat for a complex carb? They keep well in the fridge. And are gentle to eat. At least for me. (Pretty sure both are also a complete protein. I'd need to look it up to be positive).

Farro is exceptionally tasty. It's known for that.

Both go well with vegetable soup bases in the cardboard boxes. (Tomato, Red Pepper, Butternut Squash, Lentil). I think the brands are Imagine and Pacific? Seems right.

But grains can go with so many things.

Indeed.....hmmmmmmmm Thanks!

I was actually "hmmmmmmm" about the Farro - I hadn't really heard about that before!

two supreme brown rice or steel cut oats favorites for afternoon or night are either one with dried fruit, a tablespoon of peanut butter a bit of honey and milk, all mu=ooshed together. The other favorite is brown rice or steel cut oats, dried fruit cra (cranberries or blueberries are especially nice) a tablespoon or two of sun flower seed (complete protein) and a bit of milk.

I can haz irish steel cut oats!

So can I and I love them - just didn't consider having them at night and a good idea it is! At breakfast I will generally mix in a bit of peanut butter and blueberries if I have them, with a little milk all mooshed together. Have experimented with walnut pieces - which is yummy but tend to be a overly generous with them which is just too much fat - lovely!

Have wondered if I could cook them in the rice cooker while out for a ride, I wonder if I were to cook them with the brown rice setting if that would work...

Muirenn, thanks for the Farro link, will look into it. Whole grains are certainly good for us - and Susan, I love omelets - great idea about the greek/tomato + tuna salad. I haven't experimented with tuna before a ride, will have to try it and see what my stomach thinks about it.
