hiiii can i have some breakfast ideas please??? Toast causes havoc.... was having bran flakes but they're not helping much either. Just need something quick and easy!

oh i dont like eggs, tomatoes lol!

Thank you x
 
1) Lizi's Low Sugar Granola with Yeo Valley natural whole milk yogurt.
2) slice of bacon wrapped round a high meat content sausage.
 
Omelet.... Very versatile
 
P.S. Bran Flakes are very high in sugar (6g sugar in each 30g serving, you did weigh your serving didn't you)?), although slighter lower than most cereals in total carbs. Sugar is the second ingredient in Rice Crispies, Crunchy Nut and Corn Flakes, the third ingredient in Bran Flakes (The 4 cereals we serve in our Guest House, so I am aware that they are all pretty bad)
Lizi's low sugar granola is 45g per 100 carbs and 3.8g per 100 sugar so a lot less than BranFlakes. You can get it in the supermarkets but if you have trouble you can buy it on-line here: https://www.lizis.co.uk/lizis-granola-c1#page1:infscr52
 
Every morning for breakfast I have about eight red or black grapes with 200 gram of Greek natural yogurt.
 
I eat Greek yoghurt. Find as a treat croissants aren't too bad as the butter slows down the spike.

Breakfast is such a pain!
 
Have you tried Burgen bread for your toast? I find I don't get the spike that I get with regular bread 🙂

Jheeze!! It's not cheap is it!!
 
I thought it was just me and maybe I'm a bit of a pig but yoghurt and blueberries wouldn't fill me up on a morning either. I'm at my most hungry on a morning (and better equipped to handle carbs).

I tried it a few weeks ago and I was hungry before mid morning. I don't like the frozen berries either as they are too mushy for me. Much prefer the fresh.
 
Yoghurt doesn't fill me up either, plate of scrambled eggs or Burgen toast for me. If I'm feeling particularly rebellious I have mini shredded wheat as they tend not to spike me too much.
