One of my coaching clients is a busy working mum like myself and uses healthy convenient foods and wanted to know if there were alternatives to use.
She asked
You asked if I could send you the Food Dr products that I liked and you mentioned you could find a cheaper alternative? Are as follows:-
Vegus wheat juice
Fig & Cranberry granola (nut free – due to my allergy)
Wholegrain spelt crackers
Fig & mango bars (include gluten free grains)
Savoury seed blend sachets ( a mixture of sunflower, pumpkin and linseed.)
This is my recommendation
I can see why you but the food doctor stuff, for convenience!!
If you got a little organised and did some batch cooking with your son you could make the recipes for a fraction of the cost and you get to control the ingredients
Roasted seeds – make a batch and grab a handful when needed

Fig and mango bars are really high sugar/carb – I would eat an apple with a few seeds instead? Or

Wheat juice –Try lean Greens – More potent than wheat grass – This is my affiliate link http://leangreens.com?aff=117
Spelt thins – here’s a recipe http://thenourishinghome.com/2012/04/spelt-thins-crackers/
Granola recipe http://pureandsimple.typepad.com/myblog/2013/12/nut-free-granola.html
Again HIGH sugar/carb so eat with moderation
Anything with high fruit (fresh or dried) and grains will send you blood sugar soaring so limit to be eaten after exercise (within ½ hour)
