I've just had yoghurt, mango chunks, granola & a large latte.

I highly recommend frozen fruit - don't each much fruit and fresh starts going off before I get around to eating it. Frozen fruit is very economical and absolutely no waste

Mango £2.20 for 500g
Pineapple £2.20 for 500g
Blueberries £2.20 for 400g

Our weekday breakfast is oats with blueberries and banana for me, muesli (Lidl's is great) with same fruit for him.
We have toast at the weekend. H
Habit leftover from working days.

Banana, Greek-style yoghurt, sultana bran cereal. Almost always.

I think I must be weird for never remotely fancying these oats/muesli/fruit type breakfasts.

I do quite like hot porridge in winter though.

Beautful

Good Morning Folks, have a fab day everyone

Porridge banana & apple ... have you ever thought of freezing your fresh fruit if you have any Riverwalk ... yes I buy frozen fruit aswell ... I freeze grapes especially ... take off stalk, wash dry throughly put in a plastic tub freeze hey presto ... don't stick together ... although an idea after an hour or so just shake the tub in case there is water, so stops them sticking together ... eat them frozen or pop into a cold drink ... then eat , also satsumas etc ... peel put them into segments freeze ... shake again so don't stick ... I eat mine frozen or put in a dish with others, defrost & eat ... enjoy

Pity we can't bottle the heat for the winter !!!

Have a good day ... God bless

Yes I sometimes freeze fresh fruit - last week I bought a large pack of blueberries which I put in the freezer and they easily separate when I want a portion.

I have a late breakfast usually of two slices of toast with either honey, marmalade or a banana. I rarely have much before supper. I drink little else but coffee but had to resort to jars because I was drinking too much caffeinated.

A crumpet for me too. I'm being taken out for lunch. It's my birthday ?? she said seeking attention ?

I’ve just had one of the mousse type yoghurts with a corner of lemon curd stuff. Suppose that’s breakfast, even though it’s after noon now. Thankfully this heat has sapped my appetite as well as my energy. ?Happy Birthday Kate1949

Happy Birthday To You ? Kate ????
Hope your special day gives you much joy.

Happy Birthday Kate hope it’s a good one.

Today my breakfast was my usual couple of Brazil nuts, handful of blueberries. Then I had a Muller rice. Didn’t feel too hungry.

Re the oat type breakfasts - we were in Holland last week. We noticed quite a few places doing the oat/fruit/seeds/yogurt type pots. A bit like a breakfast version of Subway. Came in 3 sizes, lots of different variations choice of yogurts etc. We tried one of them and the food was delicious. If I was younger and wanting to start a business it sounds a great idea.

Shirley48 Wed 20-Jul-22 14:50:41

Two Weetabix, 1/2 a banana or a chopped apple, 3-4 dried apricots ( my heart meds make me ‘bunged up’) and lemon tea.

AreWeThereYet Wed 20-Jul-22 14:55:37

Bacon and egg in a cheesy bap. With a smidge of brown sauce. Yum. And coffee.

paddyann54 Wed 20-Jul-22 15:00:26

The Dutch breakfast sounds like Bircher muesli which my son has every day in Switzerland - he buys it daily, from the local bakery I think.

Well Riverwalk I had sea bass fillets with buttered new potatoes and asparagus. DH had mushroom carbonara. Not as posh as it sounds. It was a pub. It was delicious We had a voucher for a free bottle of Prosecco. ?

Riverwalk Wed 20-Jul-22 15:09:10
