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

Organic porridge with raspberries, strawberries and blueberries. Greek yoghurt on the top drizzled with honey and a large mug of tea. I have this every morning except when I'm away.

For me it’s always one slice of toast with Lurpak. For himself it’s always two Weetabix. We are however more adventurous with lunch and dinner. If staying in an hotel we would both take full advantage of what someone else had cooked and would wash up!

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

Seek all the attention you like Kate!
Your lunch sounded lovely, and even better with the free Prosecco ?
Hope you've had a wonderful birthday, you deserve it ?

I just can't face food in the mornings so brunch is my first meal of the day anytime between 11 and 1. And it could be anything from mushrooms on toast, Greek Yoghurt with fruit and nuts, a nice sandwich, leftovers maybe a slice of quiche, mince'n'tatties, smoked mackeral, whatever is in the fridge.

a mix of equal parts of muesli, grape nuts and ground linseed + blueberries + greek yoghurt + kefir. Yummy

I keep mixed frozen berries and defrost some each morning to have either porridge in winter or when warmer with oats and yogurt.That us my usual weekday breakfast.Weekends either scrambled or piached eggs.Sometimes with avocado or smoked salmon as a treat.And a full cooked breakfast or bacon sandwich occasionally. Breakfast is my favourite meal !

Breakfast was the recommended portion. size - 30gr - of Rice Krispies. Needed. a magnifying glass. to find them in the bow to be honest!

All sounds good!

Kate1949 Wed 20-Jul-22 15:06:33

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. ?

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.

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.

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

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.
