    I usually have a smoothie. I put half an apple, half a banana, a few slices of peach or pear, or strawberries/blueberries, a tablespoon of cottage cheese, a tablespoon of natural peanut butter and a little milk or juice. I then blend it in my Magic Bullet and drink it through the morning. It is nice and thick like a milk shake, so it is chewable if I need it to be (I believe in chewing everything!), and the peanut butter gives me a little staying power. I found without the peanut butter, I got hungry in an hour when my blood sugar began to drop. When I don't have a smoothie, I will usually eat left overs from the night before. I'm not a snacker, so I like to eat so that I'm satisfied.

    Thanks everyone for sharing :flowerforyou:

    I've seen a lot of yummy ideas :bigsmile: I need to go shopping again I think :wink: This morning I added tinned apricots to my Readybrek and it was quite yummy :love:

    I have a question ... What are "rolled oats" it may be that we call them something different over here :huh:

    Please keep the ideas coming :drinker:

    Hi, ChellieIrish,

    I buy Flahavans 'Jumbo' Porridge Flakes, they are not processed in anyway what so ever. I usually soak them overnight in water, then into the microwave for 90 seconds. I sweeten w/ honey & add 1/2 a dessertspoon of linwoods flaxseeds, sesame seeds & gogi berry mix. Gorgeous! I also eat brown spelt bread, I buy mine thats made by a bakery in Youghal it's called 'George Harringtons', but you might be able to get it in Cahir. Their breads are delicious !

    This morning for a change, I chopped up some fruit & added yoplait greek style yoghurt. I try to avoid rice krispies and crunchy nut corn flakes and have them for a treat instead, as they can be high in sugar, no matter what they say on the box! Good luck on your journey

    I made frittatas this weekend and they were yummy! They're about 120 calories each and the recipe is from WW.
    Individual Ham, Cheese and Veggie Frittatas. The one thing I do have to note is that the hash brown potatoes have to be flavored up a bit - salt, pepper, spices, something. They're too bland as is.


    POINTS® Value: 2
    Servings: 8
    Preparation Time: 15 min
    Cooking Time: 25 min
    Level of Difficulty: Easy

    Whip up a batch of these mini frittatas on a Sunday night and you’ve got breakfast ready to go for the week. Pop them in the microwave for a few seconds and enjoy.


    Ingredients
    2 spray(s) cooking spray
    1 pound(s) frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
    4 large egg(s), beaten
    1 Tbsp fat-free skim milk
    1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste
    1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste
    2 oz cooked lean ham, finely chopped
    1/8 cup(s) sweet red pepper(s), finely chopped (2 Tbsp)
    1/8 cup(s) green pepper(s), finely chopped (2 Tbsp)
    2 Tbsp onion(s), finely chopped
    1/2 cup(s) low-fat shredded cheddar cheese, Weight Watchers Reduced Fat Shredded Cheese
    Instructions

    * Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 8 muffin tin holes with cooking spray. Spread potatoes around bottom and press potato up sides of each muffin hole; place in oven and cook for 10 minutes.

    * Meanwhile, beat eggs and milk together in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add ham, peppers, onion and cheese to bowl; mix to combine.

    * Remove potatoes from oven (after cooking for 10 minutes) and press potatoes down firmly with a spoon so that they are spread out like mini piecrusts (potatoes should cover bottom and sides of each hole). Pour about 1/4 cup of egg mixture into the center of each muffin hole.

    * Return pan to oven and cook until potatoes are crisp and golden, and the egg mixture is set, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit about 5 minutes before serving. Yields 1 frittata per serving.

    I have several favorite breakfasts that I like to alternate. This morning I had:
    Breakfast: steamed spinach, tomato and egg topped with 7g cheese (about 1/12 of a cup).

    Yesterday I had a protein shake smoothie ( a little different than usual because I had some leftover kefir). regular is : 1 Cup skim milk, 1 scoop protein powder, 1 banana, about 100g of blueberries and a couple of grams of wheat grass when I have it. I blend it all up in my VitaMix with 1-2 C ice. Very satisfying and about 400 calories if you consume it all.

    Sometimes I like 7 grain cooked cereal, and add some almonds and some favorite fruits,( Craisins, Goji berries, blueberries, strawberries, peaches,whatever is available).

    Omelets with lots of veggies are great.

    Sometimes I have even had smoked salmon on a specialty bread. When I have the smoked salmon I'm sure to watch other sodium in the day so I never go to high. Actually I like to keep my sodium below 2000 mg most of the time.

    When I'm in a hurry and think to plan ahead I put Muesili in yogurt the night before then it is ready to grab and run when I need it.

    Greek yogurt with extra fruit

    Good luck! breakfast is an important meal that we should never go without.

    Take care everyone!
    Shari
