Portable breakfast when no fridge

[OMGitsnotgood]

We’re taking an overnight ferry for our upcoming holiday. We don’t want to go to breakfast on the boat as we don’t like long journeys on a full stomach so won’t want to eat enough to make it worth it. Plus would appreciate a more chilled start to the day than rushing to the restaurant.

I need to check whether we’ll have a kettle in the cabin. If so, I’d have one of those instant porridge pots but DH not so keen on those. Both of us find shop bought cereal bars too sweet.

Currently thinking pre-buttered teacakes and fruit, which will be absolutely fine and happy with that. Will also take some small cartons of juice. But I am always interested in what others would do in the same situation as there are other times where ‘fridge-free breakfasts’ are needed, and I know what great ideas MN comes up with.

Thank you.

Pain au chocolat

Protein bars

Sandwich/ bagel . Peanut butter or whatever

Flapjacks / cake

Crisps, nuts

Fruit.

Any meat free sandwiches and fresh or dried fruit.

You could make breakfast muffins, cereal bars or your own porridge mix (oats milk powder & fruit or cinnamon yourself, ....
Honestly, the possibilities are endless!

If going to France I’d stop at a boulangerie as soon as you get there! Otherwise sandwiches with jam or whatever you like.

I’m sure they are @DancefloorAcrobaticsbut my mind’s elsewhere at the moment hence this thread!

Brioche rolls with chocolate, or a loaf to tear up. Doesn’t need butter, which helps.

Bananas or some berries, cartons of juice.

We normally take the usual porridge, crepes, pancakes, etc and fruit. But since we've invested in breakfast pots for the kids we've also taken cereal for them with milk in a cool bag. Check what is in your cabin as well. We pay a bit extra than the standard and they have a mini fridge in them.

Sainsburys Granola squares....in the paper bags next to the cookies.
Love these. Always take them away.

We usually bring pain au chocolat then buy coffee. If you want something a bit lighter then I’m sure a sealed yoghurt and some fruit a cool bag would be fine.

I mean you can't go wrong with these can you, no need for buttering anything.

Nothing with dairy products can be taken off the ferry so eat before disembarking if so.

assuming it’s Brittany ferries, they do have excellent pain au raisins to buy and modest bacon baps etc not just full English!

Lidl or Tesco or co-op pastries. I would get a selection of croissants - almond and plain, chocolate twists, maple pecan plait, cinnamon bun etc. Then buy coffee on board if you can.

I have two very high quality flasks that keep drinks hot or cold for 24 hours. One is pre-heated and filled with boiling water and the other is pre-chilled and filled with milk. We can then make tea on the road without a kettle or fridge. Mine are Zojirushi brand but I’m sure similar is available for other brands. But we also have a plug in cool box which we take into hotels if necessary.
