Banana and spinich smoothie made with water. Add some nuts/other fruit/honey to add variety, oats if I'm training.
Either that or some egg based treat, omlette (spinich, chorizo), poached, scrambled with some meaty goodness for added flavour etc
Marsdenman if 1 egg and 1 slice of bread is supposed to last you till lunch after exercise ye must be mad thats a small snack not meal.
I will be trying some of this stuff...particularly like the yogurt/porridge/fruit ideas.
I normally only eat porridge at weekends/before a big ride, and I will have nearly a whole cup of oats. Weekdays I normally have 4 weetabix or 4 shredded wheat or 2 big bowls of Bran Flakes followed by a couple of slices of toast and struggle to make it to lunchtime without snacking, so echo the comments about 1 egg and 1 slice of toast being a snack, not breakfast! Breakfast should fill you up!
Lots of (breakfast and other) recipe ideas at my two new favourite recipe blogs: http://nomnompaleo.com/ and http://thestonesoup.com/
Lentil granola for breakfast? http://thestonesoup.com/blog/2012/05/lentilgranola/
Most mornings this week, I've had 2 soft boiled eggs (big ones from our hens, so might really be three) on a couple of slices of ham.
For a long while I was blitzing a handful of frozen blueberries, a handful of frozen blackberries, some melon, a banana and some good Greek honey and yoghurt to make a frozen smoothie type deal..
Another winner is a large warm sticky Belgian waffle, topped with as much fresh fruit and Greek yoghurt as you can pile on, drizzled with Greek honey (are you spotting a theme here..?) and liberally sprinkled with chopped toasted nuts..
Got all my stuff ready, for the over night porridge with grated apple 😀
Big bowl of custard.
Scrambled Eggs * 3
Toasted wholemeal bagel * 1
Pint of fresh, pulpy OJ.
Cup of TrailMix, Natural Yoghurt, Honey & blueberries.
Then go riding until lunch...
Then more riding 'til dinner...
