My doctor warned me off weetabix, it has rather a lot of salt in it.
Equality and Diversity Laws, should these be scrapped??
I have a friend who always has the same thing for breakfast every day ( weetabix with milk and sugar and a banana)now that is very nice, but I couldn’t have the same thing every morning day in day out.
I like to ring the changes so have all manner of things, marmalade on ryvitas or toast, cereal ( bran flakes or porridge or cornflakes with a scattering of dried fruit on)
Poached or scrambled eggs, a bacon roll, croissants, fruitbread, and even now and again pancakes.If I have a favourite amongst those it’s marmalade toast with a huge mug of tea.?
What’s your favourite?
My doctor warned me off weetabix, it has rather a lot of salt in it.
I have granary or other brown toast with marmalade, porridge, cereal. Like home-made fruit juice, but my diabetic nurse has said not allowed, even though it's a machine which keeps all the fruit fibre. Occasionally ignore her and go ahead anyhow. And herb tea or sometimes a Tassimo coffee pod. This morning I had fruit granola with coconut/almond milk and a hot choc pod. I will have my banana for lunch with a marmite sarny and for supper a bowl of home-made soup, a couple of slices of bread and a vegan fruit jelly or yoghurt (probably the latter). Then bedtime a herb tea or maybe a hot vegan milk. Lovely!
Having just come off morphine patches I am relishing a change in breakfast, from All bran and prunes everyday I can now eat what I want!!! For anyone whose never used morphine regularly it has certain unwanted side effects!!!
Porridge or poached egg on toast
In the summer I may have yogurt and fruit quite often
This morning I had two large Scotch pancakes with butter (Sunday treat).
Always Bran Flakes with linseeds and coffee ground from beans with goat's milk.
I can't face eating at the conventional breakfast time, so my "breakfast" tends to be eaten at around 11am. I therefore switch between late breakfast food or early lunch food. (As someone else said, it sits well with the 16:8 method of eating.)
Usually though, I do overnight oats (porridge oats, layered with greek natural yogurt and frozen fruits), or VERY crispy bacon in a VERY soft white roll, or, if I am feeling very indulgent and "sod the diet", I will have two very flaky croissants.
If it's early lunch food, it's usually a jacket potato (from the canteen at work - I don't go shoving jacket potatoes in at 9.30am on the offchance that I will fancy one!), or a baguette of some kind, or some home made soup from my latest "I'm in love with" gadget - my soup maker.
Two slices of cold ham with two poached eggs, sometimes with stewed fruit and low sugar granola and toast This sees me through to supper time except for the odd toasted crumpet.
Porridge, honey and sunflower seeds, every day summer and winter. It is tasty and filling. The only time I don't is if we are going out for an early lunch. I'm definitely not a creature of habit but I love my porridge.
Cheese spread on toast or jam on toast are my favourite. I don't like cereal
Weetabix mushed up in warm milk as I have a problem with my mouth and eating. Sadly taste too so it’s pretty horrible, but I can get it down, with a cup of coffee
Boiled egg with wholemeal toast is my favourite. I also always have fruit for breakfast, whatever is in season. I ring the changes with smashed avocado on toast, or muesli soaked in almond milk with crushed linseeds. Sometimes I have a coffee but not always. The other thing I do is have scrambled egg with my GD when she comes to stay as it's her favorite. My GS loves sausages so I keep him company with them when he stays. Nice to not always have the same for breakfast every day, I think it would become boring!
Nan Kate - in a bowl, Scott's Original porridge oats, a handful of sultanas, cover with water, bung in microwave for three minutes, add milk and sometimes a banana.
I have that every day throughout the year.
Doesn't vary much: 2 marmite rice cakes, spread with quark and cucumber slices, fruit juice (varies a lot) and lemon tea.
I usually have cheese on toast on a Sunday and some days I have no breakfast at all
If I am away I will eat whatever is on offer.
Bran flakes and blueberries, and rasps if on offer, with almond milk. Or homemade granola with the same. But all this talk of porridge makes me think I’ll have that for a change.
If we go out for breakfast DH will have the full Scottish and I’ll have an egg roll. Have recently discovered that our local place does porridge so will try that.
Porridge with fruit or grapefruit, slice of toast and marmalade. Only fried breakfast if we are away.
3 teaspoons of porridge made with water - 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil to make it creamy - 1 banana and some frozen berries [redcurrants are best] from the freezer - no sweetener needed.
1/2 grapfruit, porridge half milk/water, blob of Greek yoghurt, 2 mugs millky coffee and a couple of Sudoku! I like routine for breakfast.
Most days it’s two slices of wholemeal toast and marmite, a couple of baby tomatoes and a Babybel.
If I’m working I take a container of home made fruit salad (kiwi,satsumas, melon, pineapple, etc etc) or sometimes a tub of instant porridge- Tesco’s cinnamon one is really good.
And sometimes it’s a trip to Greggs for a roll and sausage.
Today, I had a cappucino, went for a run (always reluctantly) then made scrambled chilli and chive eggs on toasted homemade sourdough and a hot choc made with milk.
Often have full fat Greek style yogurt with Lizi's treacle granola topped with a sliced banana and blueberries...a big serving as I don't have anything else until 6.30. Thin pancakes with honey and lemon or Dorset cereals gingerbread porridge with single cream and a small sprinkle of demerara sugar ...sooo many options. ?
You'll never guess lol
Muesli and half-fat milk with a little cinnamon sugar, and black coffee.
Tea-unless swimming early (6.30 ish) in which case an egg and bacon McMuffin and orange juice. Otherwise we have brunch about 10.30 which lasts us till 5.30. It’s not set in stone so sometimes we have porridge oats.
Flahavans porridge ,cooked for 1 minute add honey and milk.I prefer the coarse organic pack but it's not always available
Just remembered that my childhood fav was always either porridge that 'floated' when surrounded by milk or comforting bread and milk with somewhat stale unsliced bread cut into chunky cubes. I still have it now and again, also Farleys rusks (original) It's hard to find the double (18) packs. I like 6 in a bowl with warm milk. Yummy.
mon -fri l have 22g allbran, 150g frozen fruit defrosted, 150g fat free greek yoghurt. weekends lm having a mashed banana in 2 eggs to make pancakes with fruit & yoghurt.
Amazing all this porridge!
Me too.
Scotts, or whatever 3 minutes in the microwave, stirred with unsweetened almond milk and pound land chopped dates ( highly recommend) and a sprinkling of cinnamon.
occasionally I ring the changes and have cinnamon and maple syrup.
