I'll add my love of porridge (oatmeal) - I have a sachet of Quaker Instant which has 11g of protein and no fat. It's also really filling and adaptable with various add-ins. I like to add some ground flaxseed to mine to up the protein a bit as well as adding fibre and omega3 fats.

@CharlieBeansmomTracey - hope you don't mind me adding my very similar experience to this thread, which I've been following for a while. I too noticed my fitbit has been giving me very fast heart rate readings when walking briskly/fast. Last week, I was walking around the park, at a brisk pace and through a large and often…

Virgin mojito - soda water, lime cordial, mint and lime wedge is a favourite of mine (basically a slightly fancier version of the cheapo pub favourite, the lime and soda). See also orange juice and soda, or any given squash/cordial made with soda water - they helped me kick fizzy pop :)

Hello :) I have been vegetarian for 20 years, and became vegan in January this year via the Veganuary challenge which I have kept up since then. It's definitely a lot easier than it was when I first tried (and failed) to go vegan about ten years ago. There are so many dairy-free options now - Sainsbury and Tesco have a…
