A few years ago when I did Slimming World we were discussing breakfast ideas. Somebody mentioned having rice pudding. They made a large batch up and portioned it up to freeze etc. I tried it and quite enjoyed it. I made it fairly dry and on serving added Greek yogurt and fruit,honey etc. It’s quite refreshing at this time of year.

Mm on thinking about it I haven’t made this for a while. Off to add it to the shopping list 🤣

How long have you got?
Eggs in any shape or form, boiled, poached, scrambled, omelette
Rye bread
Porridge
Bacon sausages - a “full English” tomatoes etc
Fresh fruit salad
Yogurt ( whole milk, not sweetened so-called “diet”) Greek is best
Fresh grapefruit

"Proper"' smoked haddock (not that yellow stuff) gently microwaved with. Little unsalred butter and a few tiny microwaved tomatoes.

I really like a couple of slices of eggy bread as a special treat, and it only takes a few minutes to make.

Kippers - we have them regularly. Lots of beneficial omega 3 oils etc.

Poached eggs on a bed of wilted spinach, I used to react to mushrooms but can manage them now so I’d have them too. Or boiled dippy eggs with carrot “soldiers” if you can’t eat toast. Can you eat gluten/free bread? Greek yogurt with a selection of berries, and chia or flax seeds. Fried egg with bacon, scrambled egg with smoked salmon? I have IBS too but after following the FODMAP elimination method I’ve been able to re-introduce a lot of former trigger foods as long as I don’t have them at the same time, and can enjoy porridge again.

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
