I was up at six, ate yoghurt, granola, mango and a large latte at seven - but I'm in one of those hungry modes so might have some bacon later!

Usually just a cup of tea. If I'm feeling particularly hungry then I'll have a slice of toast.

Breakfast is a treat as I’m usually doing the 16:8. When I do eat breakfast it’s porridge and fresh fruit. I’m less disciplined as the day goes on.

GranEd, I’m honoured 🤣

A small amount of granola topped with, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, walnuts, goji berries, semi dried figs and apricots. Finished off with a blob of honey and a cholesterol drink. It's my favourite meal.

Blueberries, Black cherries, half a banana, greek yogurt with teaspoon of mixed seeds sprinkled on top.

Two poached eggs on granary toast and a handful of cherry tomatoes, a mug of good coffee. This alternates with muesli and a few spoons of fresh fruit (I buy bags of frozen summer fruits, take some out the night before, works perfectly).

However, this healthy and saint like breakfast was followed 3 hours later by a fresh cream strawberry tart bought when shopping in Asda. grin

Cranberry muffin and a big mug of coffee.

Mine rarely changes - grapefruit, 2 custard creams and a big mug of milky coffee - but of all the breakfasts listed here yours is the only one I’m a little envious of Llamedos13 .
It sounds delicious. I think I’ll be buying cranberry muffins next time I’m shopping! 🤣🤣🤣

Regular pot of yoghurt laced with Dorset cereal, small banana, seven prunes, few walnuts and a drink of squeezed lime/lemon juice enhanced with honey and fresh ginger. Should say this is more like brunch as I seldom eat before 11 other than when I'm lunching out.

Overnight oats with fresh fruit.

Lesley60 Sat 18-Mar-23 11:27:34

Fresh raspberries, blueberries, fat free Greek yogurt a teaspoon of nutty granola and a small drizzle of honey over the top

Kittye Sat 18-Mar-23 11:27:17

Special K ( or shops own brand equivalent) sliced banana and milk. Cup of tea or coffee.
Very occasionally a full English then no lunch.

Maggymay Sat 18-Mar-23 11:22:42

Same every day porridge drizzled with honey and a cup of decaff tea.

Jack Monroe's oaty bar made with oats, butter, crunchy or plain peanut butter, honey, lasts a week.

Our breakfast was lovely. We had some cherry tomatoes that needed using up so we added those as well to our avocado and egg.

GrannyGravy13 Sat 18-Mar-23 10:50:59

Just sat down to cheesy scrambled egg on brown toast.

henetha Sat 18-Mar-23 10:39:22

Just one toasted crumpet so far. I'm never hungry in the mornings.

We are having toast with avocado, poached eggs and topped with streaky bacon. I don’t have butter so my toast is spread with marmite and the whole thing topped with chilli flakes it’s so yum.

This is the sort of breakfast I ate for years, minus the toast - always savoury, but changed during Lockdowns to ring the changes, and it leaves me the option to have that later in the day for lunch or dinner.

Eggs, avocado, olive oil, tomatoes, and cheese usually appear somewhere in my daily diet.

I've resisted the urge for a second breakfast by dabbling in a bit of housework - diversion therapy smile

I requested toast and marmalade and a cup of tea, it was brought up to me as himself left for his very early golf comp.
It’s been a sad week and he’s a very kind man.

tanith Sat 18-Mar-23 10:15:13

Bran flakes with raspberries and a Saturday treat a croissant with my own blackberry jam and tea.

Seeded toast yum yum, banana and fresh orange juice a nice cup of tea not too strong of course that’s me set up for the day I’m having family visiting this afternoon with an afternoon tea in advance of Mother’s Day it’s gonna be great fun.
