Breakfast ideas (apart from toast or cereal).

Tesco value Porridge, made with skimmed milk in winter & microwaved for about 2 mins on high or water & served cold in summer, topped with a large tablespoon of Tesco high fibre bran (well.....you know:o ) and sometimes some dried fruit or a grated apple or some honey but the bran actually makes it sweeter so I don't add sugar.
I do buy crumpets & bagles when they are reduced & keep in the freezer to occasioanly rign the changes or when I have to get an early morning train or something, however I always get hungary mid-morning after these, I never seem to get hungary after the porridge.
Weekends tend to be poached eggs on toast or waffles followed by fruit or a youghurt.

I rarely eat breakfast, although the last few mornings I've been around early enough to cook bacon, eggs and beans for DS before school, but if I do I usually have porridge or muesli (neither of which DS will eat :rolleyes: )
I'm fed up of paying excessive prices for commercial muesli though so have just ordered some wheat flakes and sunflower seeds, from the Goodness Direct site I mentioned on another thread, to add to some Tesco value oats and a selection of dried fruits and nuts so I can make my own, with no added salt or sugar!
I've also noted the JO recipe posted earlier for Pukkolla which sounds yummy so I'll give that a try too!"An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"

I have the same most days:
1/2 apple, chopped, 1/2 banana, chopped, nuts and seeds (pref. walnuts for omega 3's, a brazil for selenium, almonds for calcium, and sunflower seeds, or just whatever I have at hand), handful of tesco value oats, tesco value sultanas, mixed up in a bowl and covered in fortified sweetened soymilk and a tablespoon or two of blackstrap molasses.
It's filling, refreshing, and boy does it pack a nutrional punch! I always feel, if I start the day off on this nice healthy note, I tend to carry on eating well throughout the day. The BS Molasses definitely satisfies my morning sweet-tooth, while being packed full of nutrients.Sealed Pot Challenge 5 - #1742 :j0 -
I never feel like eating until I've been up and about for a couple of hours, but then I'm suddenly ravenous!
I spread 4 Ryvitas with low fat spread and cream cheese or marmite, sandwich them together and take them with me in a plastic bag for when the hunger pangs arrive. They don't take much room in a handbag, and it takes seconds to assemble.
Sometimes I'll take cream crackers or water biscuits instead of Ryvita.
p.s. If the OP is rushing out to work, then why not keep a pack of savoury biscuits or crispbreads and a tube of Primula cheese spread in your desk drawer, for those occasions when you have to dash out completely unprepared (eating-wise - I trust you have time to dress! ).I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe0 -

Nope, just chuck it in a bowl and eat it raw.Sealed Pot Challenge 5 - #1742 :j0 -
I'm rubbish at breakfast. I find eating a real chore first thing - I'm much better once I've been up for an hour of two. When I'm on earlies at work (5am get up) I take a probiotic yoghurt drink & a cereal bar to work & eat that once I've been at work for about an hour. Sweet goes down better than savoury, so if I'm having a early morning workout then I munch a couple of biscuits & a banana in the car. Not very nutritious but better than fainting in the gym!0

Well I'm a convert!
I've got my porridge oats, my apple, my walnets, some honey, some cinnamon and a load of sulatanas (eerrr.. although I have munched on quite a few of those already :cool: :A )
Tommorow will have an exciting breakfast, maybe it will convince me to get out of bed when my alarm actually goes off instead of half an hour later when my 'emergency' alarm goes off at the back of my wardrobe (so I cant switch it off in my sleep!)
