[QUOTE="Ledzeptt, post: 2356540, member: 160898"] I can’t cope with cereals (or wholemeal bread*) in the morning. My “go to” breakfast is seedy porridge: it’s quick, nutritious and filling. 2tbsp chia seed (seems cheapest from Aldi/Lidl, or bulk online) 1 tbsp desiccated coconut 1 tsp ground cinnamon 2 tsp bournville cocoa (or other brand without sugar) 2 tbsp frozen raspberries or similar -> don’t bother to defrost (optional ingredient, but good flavour and the only “fruit” I get in my diet) Add boiling water to get preferred texture (I add 180ml) and stir for a minute to avoid the seeds clumping together. Then optionally top with (full fat) Greek yoghurt eg.150ml and something crunchy eg. walnuts or pumpkin seeds. If you don’t like yoghurt, it’d be good to make with hot milk instead of hot water. Note: This doesn’t taste the same as porridge oats, but it is very chocolatey! I drink two mugs of coffee (with milk) to start the day else I’m useless. Therefore my total is: 14g carbs, 20g protein and 40g fat - 496 kcal - from MyFitnessPal. I do need to bolus, but I don’t spike. If pushed for time, I make a bowl up the night before. In the “old days” when we travelled, I took a ready made mixture (dry ingredients) with me to hotels. Original recipe from [URL]https://diatribe.org/three-minute-diabetes-breakfast-changes-lives[/URL] *My other breakfast standby is a loaf of LivLife (low carb) bread I keep in the freezer for toast. Only Waitrose and Morrison’s seem to sell it and it’s about £1.50, but only 3.8g carbs per slice. Otherwise, I often eat eggs as others recommend. [/QUOTE]
