Smoothie with linseeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, walnuts, almonds, brazils, jumbo oats, a chopped apple, frozen summer fruits and oat milk. Whizzed up in my magic bullet and so thick it needs a huge, stainless steel smoothie straw to drink it. I can only have it on five days each week because it's so calorific it would double my fasting day allowance!
I'm weighing-in at Slimming World tomorrow so today's breakfast was half a grapefruit, 2 satsumas, 2 kiwis and a drizzle of honey. It was delicious. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that, having over-indulged during the week, I won't have gained too much weight
I would normally just have toast (usually with butter and Marmite) but this morning, OH and I had rolls with proper butcher's bacon, cut in front of us in the butcher's shop. It was a real treat to have 'proper' bacon instead of the prepacked supermarket stuff and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
I don’t usually feel like eating much before noon but today DH and I decided to go out for brunch. It sounds pretty much like what many of you have for breakfast frequently. Good yoghurt topped by a mixture of nice nutty granola ,sliced banana, blueberries and raspberries. With a mini jar of honey on the side. Followed by an excellent cup of strong but decaffeinated black coffee. It took until 7 o’clock for either of us to feel like eating this evening.
I had warm water and lemon, rather too much jollof rice, (just finished what was left in the pan,) two cumberland sausages, green beans, all unreheated, two satsumas and a square of 70% Lindt. Then I felt a little queasy so made a pot of coffee, Rich Italian, felt much better. My favourite breakfast, usually only once a year, often furtively partaken, on 27 December, is fridge raided, stone cold sherry trifle.
In our house, it’s tradition to eat left over trifle for breakfast on Boxing Day.
O good, it isn’t just me ! We traditionally had our trifle on Boxing Day, thats how I was late to the party. I made a layer of pink blancmange beneath the custard, havn’t seen it available for years, gone away with tapioca, sago and Huntley and Palmers Breakfast Biscuits.

I rarely have anything other than milky coffee for breakfast. Sometimes I will have rice cakes with mashed avocado and smoked salmon or cucumber, lemon juice and black pepper at 11. If I manage to eat a full fried breakfast it makes me feel I’ll afterwards. I don’t have much of an appetite at the moment (but am not losing weight either 🙄), my heart failure has ramped up a bit so I get breathless eating ☹️

I don’t usually eat breakfast but my holiday away has finished so cheered myself up with a walk to the local boulangerie and fromager. Bought and have eaten a pain aux raisins followed by a small chunk of comté washed down with a black sugarless coffee, well I have to watch my weight sometimes.
All this talk of lovely fruit is tempting me, but I don't have any in stock. DH is away on cathedral chorister duty this WE, so I did the brunch option which took about 15 minutes.
Porridge with frozen berries on top, done in the microwave. Coffee afterwards. I try to eat healthily but not always successful. Fruit and yoghurt in the summer more than winter.
I usually have defrosted blueberries and black cherries, half a banana, greek yogurt topped with mixed seeds, But today I had porridge with chia seeds topped with blueberries.
