Hello hun, on red days for brekkie you could have fruit and yogurt, or some boiled eggs. You can also have your cereal, the only difference is you would have to syn it on red. I would have also suggested a SW fry up but you mentioned you only have 10 minutes, so I'm thinking there will be less time. You could also make a quick omelette with 2 eggs. Hope this helps hun xx

Thank you hun. Really helpful. I bought some bear fruit yo yos for my red day HEXB's (I love these anyway) And now have my green/ee planned out now I know I'm okay to use a HEXB on porridge for breakfast and then have carbs on my non soup meal as long as I have a controlled portion.

Peas/sweetcorn are free green/ee - I think I was just confusing myself as I count several things that aren't really carbs (pulses/beans/starchy veg) as carbs in my head as you aren't allowed them on red days.

Oh I love the bear fruit yo yos too good choice. You can still have the beans and pulses on red, but you would have to syn them, but on Green and EE, your right they are free. Glad you found the info helpful, excited about starting on Monday with you all ! xx

I'm sure I will hun. Did you blend yours or leave it chunky ? Also what was the recipe for the tomato one you made also, was it speed soup ? Do you have that one ? Sorry if I'm asking for a lot lol xx

 

[cloudy6]

Sorry Kay, will find and type up my soup recipes tomorrow, I'm off to bed now. Night all, good luck for your last day tomorrow

I did both , it depended on how I was feeling at the time and if I'd chopped the celery a bit big I would blend it ,
Yes the tomato one was based on speed soup , you add tin of baked beans to the veg, or I made a veg soup and added a tin of tomatoes , without the baked beans ,

2. boiled egg (sometimes do a hard boiled one and some bacon the night b4 and reheat on red days) and a piece of fruit
3. magic porage - soak oats (HEB)in syn free yog and serve with thawed frozen berries
4. If u go to class u cd have hi fi bars (HEB on green days) with fruit or syn free yogurt
5. Low fat quorn sausages cooked the night b4 and warmed up - pretty sure they're still free - does anyone know?
6. Fry lighted egg/omelette and beans on green
7. Fry lighted egg/omelette and mushrooms

Good luck!
