Breakfast

[kanslow]

Has anyone got any good breakfast ideas?
I'm always in a rush so just end up grabbing cereal, which uses up one of my HEX A and B, which doesn't leave much else for milk in brews and cheese etc.
When I have fruit I feel hungry an hour later!

breakfast quiche on red/ee days? chopped bacon, free sausages & mushroom covered in beaten egg in a quiche dish - cook for 30mins - grab a slice in the morning - hot or cold!
Alpen bars & yoghurt?

Cold rice pudding with yogurt on it, smoked salmon rolled around cottage cheese. Cous cous mixed with egg and cooked in the microwave (lovely cold) A banana sliced on two ryvitas (one syn each) Cold sausages. For one B only put your cereal into a pot of yogurt. If you put oats so simple in yogurt over night, goes really creamy and very filling.

Umm, I really want to lose weight so make that extra effort to get up earlier so I can make the breakfast I want ;-)

I usually have Alpen Bars and fruit. I usually have a banana, which keeps me feeling full for longer than other fruit

Breakfasts

I try and stick to having fruit and yoghurt as I prefer to save my h.e's for ryvita's or alpen bars for snacks later. Also sometimes I have marmite on toast or could have egg's, bacon, beans mushrooms etc.....

Mmmmm am feeling hungry now!

bacon, eggs, mushrooms and beans for me xx

We just had a fry up of bacon, scrmbled eggs and baked beans. OH had toast with his though. Lovely!

Normally grab a sachet of Oat So Simple and add some jam to it or just have some fruit and a muller light.

Thanks for all the tips everyone! I'll be buying some Oat So Simple next time I go shopping!
Are Alpen bars free then? Has anyone got any tips for things to go on toast? I don't like Marmite though like Emsie suggested!!!!

I make porridge with water and mix in a dollop of 0% greek yogurt, that way it frees up an HEA.
Alternatively a scrambled egg with baked beans is a great and filling breakfast. I agree that waking a little earlier to make your breakfast is the right way to go

2 Alpen bars are a HeB on any day.

Things on toast - beans, scrambled/fried egg, or any pate made with quark - mushroom, tuna, smoked salmon.

 

[kanslow]

Sorry to be a pest - learning so much here! But how do you make pate with quark??

 

[Fallen Angel]

Just add whatever you want and leave overnight!

if u have time, boil and slice some new pots and then fry in frylight- so good with egg/beans.
Quick brekkies, i tend to go for toast, if u have weightwatchers wholemeal u get 3 slices for a B, extra light phili is low syn or u get a mountain for a heA, so u could have half the phili and half the milk allowance?

I make muesli up the night before. In a cereal bowl I mix 28g of Sainsburys Fruit and Nut muesli with a handful of frozen summer fruits, add about 4 tablespoons of Yeo Valley Fat Free Natural Yogurt and mix well. Cover and chill in the fridge (or larder) overnight. In the morning just add a chopped or grated apple and it gives a massive bowl of cereal for breakfast and I still have all my milk allowance for tea/coffee. I don't like my breakfast to be too sweet but if you like it sweeter you could either syn some honey/sugar or use activia vanilla ff yogurt. (HeB choice of muesli includes a scan bran which you can crumble and add to the muesli mix but I find this is too much and I tend to use my scan bran in a chocolate cake for desert at dinner time).
