Evening everyone,
As we head into this weekend I am looking for some inspiration in regards to breakfast.
It seems I have been having toast every day before work for far too long at this point and was wondering if people had some cheap solutions that would make this morning meal a bit more exciting. I do sometimes switch to alternatives such as yoghurt or cereal but was wondering what most people here went for.
To hang off yours. Porridge with some home made raspberry jam ontop. Everyone thinks jam is a weird combo but it works!
I've been doing the same except with raspberries rather than banana the past week. Other mornings are scrambled eggs or crumpets with vegemite. Prefer a warm breakfast in winter but don't want to go into full on cooking mode.
I cook the porridge and then I make bacon & eggs on vegimite toast.
Then when the porridge is cooled, I take it outside for the birds: I hate porridge, birds love it :p
Wife cooks the banana with the porridge to make it softer (if you don’t already)
I like porridge cooked with half a grated apple - you add the apple just as the milk starts to boil and it cooks to a perfect stewed apple, not mushy and not undercooked. Plus a pinch of sultanas in with the apple and a squirt of honey at the end. Delicious.
tried your apple trick, works fine, very nice, ty
Don't usually have breakfast till midday lunchtime. You get used to it.
Good way to lose weight.
Back to the original question, someone I know makes coffee, then throws it in (cold) weetbix with milk and bananas.
Coffee-Bix
Not really a good way to lose weight unless you're not actually hungry, if you get really hungry by lunch time you'll end up eating more than you need to and more than breakfast plus normal small lunch
Possibly, but most people that do intermittent fasting actually lose weight
I usually just have lunch sometime after 12 also. Breakfast is a huge timewaste when you can get a few extra zeees instead.
Yep, for me a black coffee in the morning is enough to suppress appetite until lunch.
I have mine anytime after 4pm, usually just one meal a day. The other day I it at 2am!
before work? if i have time or feel like it, coffee & maybe some kind of toastie, usually just coffee. even a basic toastie with aioli is surprisingly good, might want to brush your teeth after because of the garlic, but wait 30 mins.
Hot chips with garlic dip.. Is there anything more better?
Iced coffee is breakfast, right?
It damn well better be
In my book it is that and delicious vanilla oak 2L from woolies.. I think they have an exclusive on it so coles and other grocery places don't have it
Cup of coffee.
Sometimes I make a quick breakfast wrap.
Soft wraps from coles $2 pack
Deli meat
Sliced cheese
Mutti tomato paste (tube)
Zap, roll, nom
My go to is muesli bulked out with plain oats, plenty of cold milk and let it soak for 10mins. Letting it soak softens up the oats almost like porridge, no heating required.
Ain't nobody got time for that
Just run out and don't grab no shoes or nothing
Wrong thread?
Yeah, I had a kerfuffle replying to a thank you dinner thread where the guests bailed out, leaving the host $75 per head out of pocket.
Cornflakes with protein powder - don’t need to add honey or sugar.
6 Weet-Bix with honey, 2 at a time in the bowl. Simple, cheap, tasty enough.
Manshake
Honey Oats + All Bran, goes pretty good
Rolled oats and Greek yoghurt.
I been eating a waffle for breakfast for a while. Lot more calories in a waffle though, so you'd want a lighter lunch.
I did that for a bit.. The toscano ones are individually wrapped so you can just put it in your pocket and have it on your way to work or at.
Obviously not as good as if with butter or maple syrup or ice cream but I did that for a week.
I've been really into sandwiches. I'll boil a couple of hard boiled eggs, chop them up and mix with Dijon mustard + Kewpie Mayo + curry powder and make an egg sandwich. I ve also been eating my childhood favourite, butter the bread heavily and sprinkle sugar over it and toast (not in those stand up toasters I guess). Probably less sugar than Nutella anyway lol
Nothing. I usually fast for 18hrs.
I have a few go too's, all quick and easy. Was a tradies assistant for years, so I needed to start the day with some calories but generally I didn't have morning tea or a huge lunch. Habit has stuck.
Quick oats with some jar or cup type fruit, EG Goulburn Valley or SPC.

Cereal, with vanilla malt milk. Yeah I know its sugary but I cant stand the taste of plain milk.
Soft boiled egg smashed on toast. I use a Kmart egg boiler for convenience. Quick, consistent and easy clean up.

Ham, chees,e tomato toastie or baked bean, cheese, and onion toastie.
You're going luxe with the soft boiled egg on toast.
Coffee on my espresso, granola and greet yoghurt
Toast with kaya. if I have time put bread into the pan. moccona with creamer, twice in the morning. Alternatively corn flake with Jordan nuts and mueslies.
I make up a big tub of bircher muesli - a box from Aldi, big tub of greek yoghurt, apple juice, grated apple, frozen blueberries and honey. Make it up at least a night in advance but it will do me for the week.
Overnight oats that sounds like
It is…. before calling it "Overnight Oats" was cool
Weeties. Or, sometimes even Coco Pops!
Coffee only and then eat lunch around 1pm and dinner at 6. No snacking between meals.
4 weet bix, 1 tableapoon sugar and hot water, soak and 60ml of milk.
70gm Protein powder with water.
If have time and feel extravagant, i swap the weet bix for Oats.
2 cups of coffee. Since I stopped eating breakfast I don't get hungry any more until midday
I am the same way normally.. I don't eat until usually like 4:15pm after my first shift and well if I skip that it's straight to dinner sheet my second shift.. Have done just midnight snack when I come home like past midnight and cook something simple or delicious.. Usually it's some sausages while I shower but lately been doing pasta and coles organic bolognese sauce and then I add mozzarella in it and melt it in the microwave while the noodles cook.. So good but man pasta is so cheap and one whole packet is like 5 servings for me.
I alternate between:
- Porridge with chocolate protein powder mixed in (usually on gym days)
- Porridge with honey, flax seeds, chia seeds
Well when I get early morning shifts the only thing open usually when I leave my shift is Vietnamese bakery or Bakers Delight.. So whatever they offer usually but sometimes I keep it simple and just get a vanilla oak 2L from woolies.
If I'm at home it's snags or cereal.. Lately been nutrigrain and crunchy nut.
Porridge is good I need to go back to that.. I have the best poo when I eat porridge and I can't eat it unless I use full cream milk powder and or honey… Mmm
Cheese n ham toasted crossiant or cheese and bacon sausage roll then usually a fresh juice from boost etc
Weet-Bix, no milk.
"Healthy" option is any of the breakfast cereal clusters (usually buy the Aldi brand as its half price of Woollies) mixed with 5am vanilla yogurt - delish!
If I have an extra 2 mins its scrambled on toast - same time as it takes to cook toast. Always dice and freeze spring onions, so just whack in a couple of eggs, turn on the toast, throw in a hand full of spring onions, and on weekends a sprinkling of cheese and it makes you wonder why you ever pay to eat out. Dont scrable the eggs just crack into the pan and muddle with a bit of salt and healthy amount of pepper. Ok on weekends also a large portion of sliced mushroom butter and garlic - its literally a 5 minute breakfast.
porridge served with milk and banana and a little honey
