10pm snacking

[CoastalMummy]

Morning mums,

I went to see my teen DS yesterday at school and his dorm room mates were telling me that my DS has a propensity to cook instant noodles at 10pm and stink out the dorm room. DS said he gets “starving” again by 10pm so needs to eat.

Does anyone have any ideas for a substantial snack that I can send down, that is more considerate than Asian style noodle pots?

TIA

Plain popcorn, beef jerky, oatbiscuits.

Flapjacks, poridge oats (there are just add hot water ones that are flavoured in individual pots.

My DS eats flapjacks, bananas or yoghurt as evening snacks (at home)
Some kids eat cereal. Or toast. Can you ask him to come up with alternative ideas, he will know what he likes and what's feasible to make?

I would also vote for cereal. Not the healthiest but it does fill a teenage tummy in a way that a slice of toast never will. Or instant porridge if he likes something warm.

@SleepyLabrador Id love a copy of your guide if you have it! Am about to send off DS after the summer and have no personal experience of any of this!

@SleepyLabrador most schools I’ve worked in have to be nut free so pupils need to be aware of this too when packing snacks.

Defo no nuts. So no Nakd bars etc. Porridge a good call
