BREAKFAST

[Maryelle]

My question is .. has anyone come up with a GF and WF breakfast idea they would share ?

At the moment, I eat a GF muffin and a banana but feel like I need a cereal of some sort.

The GF cereals I have tried are way too expensive or taste like cardboard.

thanks

Today I had sauted red onion, courgette and chorizo mixed into scrambled egg.

I am not a big fan of cereal.

I make pancakes every morning with my own flour mix, very easy. I sometimes have quinoa with cinnamon and applesauce, that is good and a very high protein breakfast, cook the quinoa ahead and just keep in fridge in a tub.

this sounds lovely must try it, thank you x

Yes, I like quinoa for breakfast too, with sliced almonds, a spoonful of flaxseeds, a little maple syrup, pinch of salt and a handful of gf porridge oats. It lightens up the texture of the porridge so it isn't gluey, and the extra protein works much better for me. Porridge used to make me feel full (a little too full), and an hour later I'd be hungry again, but quinoa porridge is great.

HI Hollyann, any tips on where to get GF quinoa? Got glutened big time by Morrisons own brand last month and haven't spotted any made in factories.

I must admit that I have waved goodbye to cereal and usually make my own mixture of museli made up of nuts and seeds .. taking almond flakes and walnuts as the base to which I add ground flax seed, around four juicy dates, a sliced banana, coconut (fresh if I am, lucky otherwise raw coconut slices from the health shop or desicated at a push), hazel nuts, sunflower and sesame seeds, then sometimes peacans, Brazils, pumpkin seeds, cashews .. recently I have taken to melting some coconut oil and tossing everything into it then spooning lashings of thick full cream Greek yoghurt on top with a blob of thick honey. This keeps me satisfied and content for hours and stops the gnawing hunger pangs that I used get with cereals. On occasion I have added cream cheese and rather naughtily some melted gf chocolate .............

There was a big discussion on breakfasts some time ago.

I find a combination of protein and fat works for me - bacon and eggs, omelette with some kind of filling, full fat yogurt and fruit.

I am really enjoying Alara Deluxe Gluten Free Porridge which is almost like the porridge I remember as I am oats intolerant. It is a mix of millet rice flakes linseed and while not exactly cheap is reasonably priced

I often do a flaked rice pudding (cooked in advance) and pop some stewed apple and plum i in it which is nice on a cold morning but tomorrow I'm going to be having sauted red onion, courgette and chorizo mixed into scrambled egg.....thanks poing

I usually have a two-egg omelette or some yoghurt or a banana, in increasing order of lateness.

Sorry to bring this up again, but am I the only one who eats Tesco own label Corn Flakes and Rice Snaps. I believe they are acceptable as per Coeliac UK, and they don't seem to have any adverse affect on me at the moment.
