    Every morning I have porridge with 25g of raisins or a chopped bannana's which is good. It helps to get your 1 a day of fruit in nice and early. If it's cold then a sprinkling of cinnamon makes it seem more winter warming. Not sure why. I've also stirred in protein powder but I found it made it more bland and preferred to take the protein seperately.

    I've also experimented with homemade flapjacks and did a high calorie fully loaded version with sunflower, sesame and various other seeds which I used on long bike rides as they were high calorie.

    Thanks for all the great ideas everyone! Looking forward to trying some of these out...think I'll start with the cinnamon and apples, since I have those on hand :)

    Okay, I tried something new this morning and had to share!

    I mixed in a packet of Swiss Miss diet hot cocoa - it's just 25 calories! I normally try to avoid artificial sweeteners, but for an occasional treat, it was really yummy. I was wishing I had some banana to add -- maybe just 1/3, sliced thin.
