Breakfast For Lunch

For lunch today, I had two gluten free waffles with crunchy peanut butter on them and a Greek black cherry yogurt on the side. The entire meal was 58 carbs.. The peanut butter and Greek yogurt is the protein part of the meal, so I'm not hungry. The waffles were the main carb.. Very filling. :-)

Enjoy! My favorite is crunchy peanut butter. :-) Do you like crunchy or creamy?

β€’ in reply toActivity2004

I like both, but make my own creamy peanut butter.

How long does it take to do homemade?

β€’ in reply toActivity2004

Not long at all. Just roast the blanched peanuts, cool them then put them in a food processor. Takes about 10 minutes in the processor. The nut butter starts to look like there's a cog shape when it's in the processor, when that shape disappears it's done.

That's great! Will have to try it when I can.

β€’ in reply toActivity2004

Definitely worth making, at least you know that it contains only peanuts and nothing else, it's not very oily either.

I tried Brazil nut butter, very oily, then pecan nut butter, never again, that was awful. When I could eat cashews I made cashew nut butter and it was delicious but IBS has ruled cashews out now.

Good to know that we can try different nuts. Have to see what we have here.

β€’ in reply toActivity2004

You certainly can and cashews were my other favourite and I would eat those a fair bit if I could

I do like the chunky style. However it is all good.

β€’ in reply todaveh121

Yes I do as well and if I want chunky then I just leave out some of the roasted nuts and chop them and stir them in when the peanut butter is ready - yum :)

Crunchy peanut butter and strawberry jam on wholemeal toast. Totally yum. Unfortunately followed by stomach going ' what the hell !?? '

Activity2004 profile image

I usually have jam/jelly and crunchy peanut butter on gluten free bread. I just do crunchy peanut butter with waffles and other breakfast foods.πŸ˜€πŸ‘πŸŒˆ

Yogurt on the side?

I love rice cakes with peanut butter. Have never understood why rice cakes smell like ceiling tiles but taste good! 🌸😁

Do you get plain rice cakes?

Marnie22 profile image
Marnie22β€’ in reply toActivity2004

I do, but I have also recently found that Sainsbury's do their own ones that have pea protein in and those are scrummy. I can eat those on their own.😁🌸

Extra question..... have you tried peanut butter (on anything,) with a few raisins scattered on top? Yum! πŸŒΈπŸ˜‹

I love peanut butter, has to be smooth, or my Crohn's plays up, like it with Red Currant Jelly or bananas, used to love it with celery. Used to have Groundnut Stew as a child in Africa, a nice spicy dish, good source of protein if you could not afford goat for a curry.

That sounds good. I like curry, too.πŸ˜€πŸ‘πŸŒˆ

Love curries, if I am careful there are some I can still eat, my local Indian does a nice one with chicken and lychees, mild and I think has coconut milk in.

There's Gluten Sensitive which means that a person can be around wheat/gluten products, but can avoid them. I have Gluten Sensitive/Intolerance issues. I eat anything with wheat in it, I have horrible cramps that make me unable move/walk and then have other issues along with the cramps. Been on a gluten free diet almost 5 years.

That sounds like a solid and satisfying breakfast Activity2004. I bet you enjoyed that!

Activity2004 I have been having two slices of toast with Marmite crunchy peanut butter every lunchtime since lockdown. I am hooked on the Marmite version so my vitamin B levels must be sky high. So easy to make when busy with these long awaited jobs in the garden etc. Nobody I know likes Marmite or peanut butter. Please say you do! I even get mine delivered by Amazon as I can't get a Tescos slot. Lidls have it too but not Morrisons. Enjoy!

I love eating peanut butter, but mine is a different brand. We get ours from a neighborhood store down the street from our house 10 minutes away. Crunchy is my favorite type of peanut butter, but if it's not in stock, then we settle for the creamy until we can get crunchy later in the week/month.:-)

That sounds delicious πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜‹

Hello Activity2004

When I was a kid, I had two cousins who eat nothing but creamy peanut butter sandwiches for all meals. I asked them why they never ate my favorite crunchy peanut butter. They said crunchy peanut butter was too much work. :)

sounds really nice- but Id ve done without peanut butter because I hate it & would change the yoghurt to strawberry, orange, or mango because I dont like black cherry either

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004β€’ in reply toSara_2611

That’s okay. I’m on a low carb high protein diet and gluten free diet plan. This helps me keep blood sugars even during the day and evening hours.

Sara_2611 profile image
Sara_2611

speaking of blood sugars -some years ago I ate lots of sweets & my sugar levels understandaly went sky high & nearly ended up with type 2 diabetes so i immediately stopped eating them all & wont even have a treat & eat a small amount because it scared me so much & gave me a wake up call so I always check the sugar amounts on food. 6grammes is what I'll go too or maybe 6.5 but anything higher is a none starter
