Usually cereal with fruit, though not always the same cereal or the same fruit. If we get
up early and walk then we don’t eat till we get to the café half way along. A bacon or sausage bun for DH cooked by someone else is lovely.
If we’re at an hotel (remember those days) I always have a cooked breakfast if it’s included. At one really nice and £££ hotel, breakfast was £17 per person extra.
We tried it the first day, then thereafter we decided to pop out and get . . . a bacon and egg muffin meal with fruit juice and coffee from McD instead and took it to the seafront nearby. At that time in the morning we had the place to ourselves, except for another couple who had decided to do the same. We still keep in touch today.
Sorry for the digression!

Can't do breakfast, simply don't feel hungry early in the day.
A pot of tea is all I want. Builders tea please.

Sorry cereal.

No-sugar Alpen muesli, with oat milk and chopped up fresh fruit (pear, banana, blueberries...), tablespoon of flaxseed. To enjoy, but also to counteract the constipating effects of the meds I have to take.

It depends on how I feel. The first thing I have is my morning meds and a glass of water. I have to wait an hour before having anything else. I always have a big mug of tea, then either porridge or toast.

When I'm working it's usually cer for convenience, either Shreddies or Bluberry Wheats washed down with a lovely cup of Yorkshire Tea. However I do love a cooked breakfast too.

Weetabix with warm milk or porridge oats (not flavoured ones). Blueberries on top so no need for sugar.
A cup of peppermint tea.

At home always same breakfast. Oats covered in Alpro no added sugar soya milk, then popped into microwave for one minute then topped with a quarter of a tub of Fage 0% Greek yoghurt and a good dollop of natural Kafir.

Generally a smoothie with bananas, turmeric, chai seeds, etc but always ginger.
Today my favourite breakfast; Poached egg, mashed avocado on a muffin. Since I've got both that need using & some smoked salmon I bought yesterday.
Treat time.

There is no way I could have the same breakfast everyday, I mean how could you?

I love porridge, wheetabix, toast with jam, toast with scrambled egg, poached eggs on toast with tomatoes, Welshrarebit with or without a poached egg, dippy egg with soldiers and a full English without bacon at the weekend.
On holiday I adore a leisurely breakfast consisting of fruit, poached egg, croissants, local pastries and copious ups of coffee (not all together ?)

Usually toast and marmite with a cup of tea for me and porridge for him.

I have two waffle irons and a Norwegian recipe, it’s quite a faff, but the results are delicious and a mention of waffles for breakfast is guaranteed to bring my sons home. Everyone has a favourite topping, but the traditional jam and sour cream is still my favourite.

Yes, I have the same breakfast every day, nothing at all, as trying to keep to the 16:8 diet! grin

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
