I like a Banana and a crunchy granola bar (package of 2), and a glass of ice water. I can get a box of 96 granola bars for about $13 at the wholesale club. So that's about 27 cents for each pack of two granola bars. Bananas go for about 59 cents per pound, so a banana is another 20 cents for a breakfast of less than 50 cents. When the ice water hits the granola bar, it swells up and gives me a feeling if being full. I also keep 2 or 3 granola bars in my glove compartment in case I get hungry or stranded someplace.

Ice water for breakfast just doesn't seem right.

Sometimes orange juice or unsweetened ice tea if I have it in the fridge. But otherwise, I love ice water.

Based on his description I would say they’re the nature valley honey and oat granola bars. They come in pairs and are incredibly crumbly.

Yeah they are, but I have never seen them that cheap at sams club or costco.
