Healthy Breakfasts

[Lorraine]

Nothing for me for such a long time. I'm a Mum myself and do most of the cooking! Healthy FOOD!!!!!

Your mother is very nice to you Urbanedge. I am afraid my Mr17 has to get his own breakfast. Except when he is doing exams then I make the Salmon Omlette I mentioned earlier. He is quite a good cook so can easily make his own. Yesterday he cooked bacon & egg sandwiches on a camp cooker for 6 of his friends. They were on a fishing trip. Anyway his friends tell me the sandwiches were delicious, which is just as well as they didn't catch any fish to cook.

mine isn't really a recipe, but I like to eat Sanitarium Light 'n' Tasty Apricot with no fat yoplait vanilla yogurt with a drizzle of honey. It's really quite delicious!!

I love cooked breakfasts. Right now we usually have toast (we make our own bread) with my grandmother's homemade jams and preserves, porridge etc.

I make really yummy buttermilk pancakes (even if I do say so myself) and I'm rather partial to a poached egg with smoked salmon and wilted spinach on potato rosti. I can't have nice runny eggs or smoked salmon at the moment so I have been eating my eggs scrambled instead.

Husband loves a good bircher muesli and freshly squeezed juice.

I also really enjoy South-East Asian style breakfasts... Nasi Lemak - yes please!

Smoothie Recipe
Strawberries
Bananna
Whey powder (so so good for you- full of good protien)
Whole flax seeds (I pop them in the blender first and grind them- full of omega's)
Yogurt
Rice milk
little bit of kale
squeeze of stevia (natural sweetner)

I feel the energy pumping into me with every sip! So so yummy and good for you- and super easy. We like it thick so we don't put too much rice milk in.

Rachel- you said you make your own bread! That is awesome! Can I ask have you ever made bread out of millet or oat flour? My husband and I cannot eat alot of grains - but these two are fine. I would love to make my own bread but fear that using these different flours are too hard. Do you have any guidelines for me?

What type of whey powder do you have johnnyrie? I love my Gaspari Nutrition Myofusion protein, expensive but so worth the price you pay for it. The tub size I generally buy is 5lb

I lived in Asia for a few years and got right into the rice and soup for breakfast thing and I do that most days - either Japanese Miso or Korean style veggie soybean soup. I cook a mix of half white/half brown rice. Yummm.

I haven't ever made breads using those flours but friends have had success with different grains to be gluten free.

We're pretty slack and use a breadmaker and mostly commercial bread mixes. But I have hand-made bread in the past and baked in the oven.

I buy my mixes from a place called All About Bread, they have a range of mixes including Millet:
