Fruit to gos are very much like fruit rollups or like what you describe REBAR's to be (never seen those though!) - basically dried fruit mixtures in kind of a thin bar form. Very yummy! The banana is my favourite; most of the other flavours I can tolerate but cause me a little bit of tummy distress - I have no problems with the banana even on an empty stomach though. I love them because they're really convenient to just keep in my purse in case I'm late for a meal or something.
The soup I usually buy is Primo Minestrone (I've found a lot of minestrone brands have milk products in them! what's with that!). I have not been able to find one that doesn't have a tomato base though so I basically just dump the whole can into a seive and rinse it off (gets off some of the excess sodium too, I find canned soups so salty - but I guess that wouldn't really be a concern of yours, right?). Then I put it in the blender with some (non-tomato) vegetable broth and whizz it up. It's soooo good and creamy and easy - very close to the consistency of pea soup or (if you've had it) Heather's sweeet potato carrot soup, or really most carrot soups I guess. I usually put acacia in too. If I have time, to make it creamier I'll add a (peeled) baked potato.
It sounds like you're having so much fun with your exchange student! That's great! (And yes, some of those cereals ARE downright bizarre! lol!)
