What are your breakfast preferences?

After the unpleasantness yesterday thought I would start something a little light hearted

There was an article on local radio this morning discussing breakfast preferences one man said he has had the same breakfast every day since he was 14 and is now 52! (Scrambled eggs with cheese)

Do GNs have the same breakfast every day? I tend to vary my breakfast between cereal (porridge in the winter) or toast but have a cooked breakfast on Sundays

I could not eat the same thing every morning, surely it depends on how hungry you are and what you have planned for the morning ? Why don't the same people eat the same lunch and dinner every day ?

I do 16:8 during the week but at weekends I love poached eggs and mushrooms with Crete fraiche on top of sourdough with avocado, lemon juice and chilli.

Every morning, banana and peanut butter on toast with a large cup of tea!

Mug of tea and a biscuit in the week; crumpets with jam on Saturday; sausage or bacon butty on Sunday.

Banana,yogurt & pumpkin,porridge or black pudding,tomatoes and toast,

Usually it will be Weetabix, sliced banana, blueberries and pomegranate and a bit of honey. Or banana mashed with fat free quark, blueberries, strawberries,raspberries and pomegranate and a drizzle of honey. I am trying to get to my target weight on Slimming World so both are good choices.
Sometimes at the weekend I will have a cooked breakfast - always with poached eggs and, sadly, without black pudding

I have oatibix flakes, muesli or porridge. Need a bit of variety or it would be boring.

I love breakfast now I’m retired. Blueberries, yoghurt and seeds, banana pancakes with Greek yoghurt, occasionally toast or bagel, weekend fry up without the egg and on holiday continental coffee, juice, smoothie, fruit, cake, pastries etc. absolutely lovely.

Vegemite and cottage cheese on a piece of multigrain toast. On sunday its an egg on toast with fried zucchini. Always half a glass of juice and depending on how i feel maybe a cup of tea

It varies between
Porridge with golden syrup or blueberries;
Weetabix and hot milk with sliced banana or strawberries or raspberries;
CocoPops (just because I like them);
Toast and ginger preserve; or
Boiled Eggs and toast soldiers

If we have family staying we might have a cooked breakfast. We always get kids cereals when the grandkids are staying so I then enjoy having Sugar Puffs and similar cereals that we wouldn't normally buy.

Not always the same but usually a choice of 3 - porridge made with fine milled oats and milk; Greek yogurt with some blueberries or scrambled eggs all accompanied with a cuppa.

Froglady Thu 06-May-21 14:46:30

I normally have 2 mugs of tea and that is it. On my birthday I have boiled eggs and soldiers.

I like to vary my breakfast, though my husband almost always has toast (unless I offer to make porridge).
I have bacon with peeled plum tomatoes, scrambled eggs (sometimes with grated cheese), beans on toast, or sausage & beans on toast, cinnamon & raisen Bagel, or crumpets. I never eat cereal, and try to limit the amount of bread I eat. I do make porridge in the winter, but have arthritis in my feet, so my husband doesn't ask me to do this very often, now!

Most mornings I have a Nutribullit smoothie, consisting of handful of spinach, half an avocado, one banana, handful of raspberries, handful of blueberries and some mixed nuts.
I add coconut water and then blend away.

The result is a very thick liquid which is surprisingly filling.
I never feel hungry by lunchtime.

Occasionally, I might have a bowl of bran flakes with sliced banana on top.

Cabbie21 Thu 06-May-21 14:17:48

Same every day, unless I am away.
Cup of tea in bed, then when I am downstairs, bowl of muesli and granola, lots of nuts and berries, with sometimes half a banana or pear sliced on top. Not much milk.
On the rare occasion when we are away in a Bn B, I will have everything, fruit juice, cereal, fruit, cooked breakfast, toast and marmalade.

Two slices of toast with jam and a cuppa. I always have two pancakes every morning, felt rebellious today

Crystal46 Thu 06-May-21 13:42:43

Peanut butter on toast. Yum.

Shelagh6 Thu 06-May-21 13:40:59

......oh! And my 6 pills!

Shelagh6 Thu 06-May-21 13:40:23

Grape Nuts and a slice of toast and coffee.

olliebeak Thu 06-May-21 13:34:57

First of all, it's Coffee and Medication (must be taken 20mins before food).

20mins later, it's a second Coffee with either 'Porridge and Honey' or 'Toast and Marmalade', so that I can take my Painkillers.

20mins later, it's ANOTHER Coffee .................. just because winkgrin.

annodomini Thu 06-May-21 13:29:58

Fruit - bananas, blueberries or both - Greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey, muesli or gluten free cornflakes. Ceylon (leaf) tea, no milk.

Aepgirl Thu 06-May-21 13:26:31

Most days I have porridge (made in a saucepan (not microwave readybrek), with fresh fruit.

dogsmother Thu 06-May-21 13:18:14

Blueberries ( always keep frozen bag in ) oats and a teaspoon of mixed seeds topped with Greek yoghurt and cinnamon.
I have this most days through summer. Winter is usually hot oats with maple syrup and cinnamon and maybe dates chopped through also.

lil57 Thu 06-May-21 13:00:42

I usually have cereal, either Weetabix, porridge, or shreddies. Occasionally I have marmalade on toast.

Stella14 Thu 06-May-21 13:00:40

I tend to have the same thing, but after a while, I’ll fancy something else. Then that will become my same thing for a while.

For the last few months, it’s been porridge, with a little raw honey and coffee.
