I'm looking for suggestions for breakfast from my imaginative GN friends.
I have IBS which means I can't have cereal or anything fibrous , which limits me quite a bit.
I'm on my own , and struggle to come up with something different.
Has anyone got any good ideas for me?
Many thanks in advance. x

I was advised by a dietician that an omelette is a good daily breakfast. There are so many filling options to give variety from day to day. Also quick and easy to make, and just a wipe round the omelette pan if you beat the egg in the pan.

Banana make great smoothies and pancakes, or just fried in a little butter or a handful of raspberries. If your weight can bear it, mashed with cream and a spoonful of brown sugar.

(My digestive system does prefer them cooked).

Shakshuka - I made it for special brunches. It’s basically fried onions, peppers tomatoes and eggs with spices, but you can add feta or sausages or chick peas- lots of variations. Really delicious.

Why not have what King Charles has for breakfast if you have the time - baked eggs, spinach and cheese or eggs Benedict.

You can get the Hollandaise sauce from a bottle for quickness for the Eggs Benedict.

What about his plums?
Apparently he must have 2 at breakfast but only ever eats one.

I've started making overnight oats.
(5 tbsp) of porridge oats
(5 tbsp) of your preferred UK milk (e.g., semi-skimmed or dairy-free)
(3 tbsp) of 0% fat yogurt

I add Chia seeds 1tbs which requires 2 more tbs of milk
mix it and leave in the fridge overnight and then top with a little honey and preferred choice of fruit. It is very filling

I’ve just had two scrambled eggs with hot smoked salmon.

When I was young we always had cooked breakfasts and they were served in hospitals too.
Then people turned to cereals or toast for many years.
Lately cooked breakfasts keep appearing on TV, publications and social media. I don’t know anyone who eats anything cooked for breakfast. In the normal frantic scrabble to get to work and school whoever finds time to prepare, eat and clear up a cooked meal?
I’d as likely cook eggs etc for breakfast as at 2 in the morning.
