What's for breakfast?

I stayed home today to manage a medical thing, so I had time to cook! One and a half eggs boiled to the perfect balance between soft and hard (I am embarrassed to say I was too full for the last egg half), a plate full of pineapple, cantaloupe, snow peas, and red peppers, and a giant mug of excellent coffee.

I love coffee - how do you make and take yours? @avskk

Three rashers of bacon on two slices of wholegrain toast with brown sauce and 1/2 can of baked beans. Besides that my other go-to is porridge with strawberries, blueberries, walnuts and honey

Bowl of porridge made with skim milk and morello cherries with tiny bit of honey 220 cal

Have also made whole meal English muffins with bacon and light cheese slice for later in the week 235 cal

I’ve also had yoghurt with apricot halves and 10g of O&G granola for crunch 250cal

I have the same thing every day - 2 cups plain Cheerios, cut up banana on top of it, 1 cup skim milk over all that. Then I usually have a hard-boiled egg a little later.

I gotta have my cold cereal and skim milk in the AM.

And coffee......always coffee.

I call this my bird breakfast 1 cup blueberries (frozen & warmed), a third cup of pumpkin flax granola, 1 tsp each of hemp, chia and flax seeds and 3 ounces plain Greek yoghurt. Lots of coffee and if I’m planning on a big gym workout a banana or orange as well. Lighter days I skip the flax, lose the berries and change the yoghurt for skim milk.

This morning I had a scrambled egg and sausage in a low carb/calorie wrap with cheese. Coffee with whipping cream and coconut oil.

I buy 2 packets of turkey sausage and 1 packet of pork sausage and smoosh it all together, and then cook it before portioning it out into individual servings. It lights it up considerably while still having the yummy pork sausage flavor that I prefer. My husband didn’t even notice it was different!

I usually have either avocado toast on homemade bread with cherry tomatoes and cheese crumbles or chia pudding. For the toast I use the Wholly Guacamole chunky avocado cups instead of fresh avocado since I never get around to eating the second half before it goes brown.

I alternate between scambled eggs and whey shake to homemade protein smoothie thing

Today I just ate a banana and a lara bar because I was going to an exercise class and it was either don't eat or eat something light that will digest in 40 minutes. My usual breakfast of eggs, bacon and oatmeal wouldn't. On light days I will drink a smoothie made from 1/2 cup fresh almond milk, 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1/2 tsp cocoa and 1 banana. It will keep me going for about 4 hours. The banana and lara bar worked well though--about 300 calories and I had no stomach issues and had more than enough energy.

Sometimes I'll just eat oatmeal with 1 fried egg. Or eggs and bacon with a belgian waffle. If I crave bagels I'll get a plain bagel with butter. But bagels are not a good choice for me, or any other type of bread--they don't fill me up so I usually end up off my calorie goal for the day.

I usually have scrambled eggs, but tried banana pancake...just mash a banana with an egg, and cook as pancakes in a little coconut oil. Really good with a handful of blueberries.
