Currently we have oats soaked in Apple juice. Yoghurt ,apple ,blueberries and walnuts.
We are really bored with it now.
Spice up our morning bedroom action.
I like chopped hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, chopped dried apricots and sultanas plus a good dose of cinnamon. Found it too sweet with apple juice so just use water for soaking.
Bircher muesli?
Oats soaked in yoghurt and milk overnight, mixed in with halved grapes, chopped apple, flaked almonds and pumpkin seeds. Sometimes blueberries too. Bit of runny honey for real decadence
Bake flapjacks. Do I have to think of everything round here? 😁
There was a mega thread on this a while back 🙂
Today .. I only had a blob if Lidl chic spread.
I have 40g of rolled oats, big load of chia seeds, scoop of vanilla protein powder and 180g of almond milk, leave overnight, then greek yoghurt and berries on top. T2 diabetic and doesn't give an insulin spike at all for me which is good.
banana,dates,ginger + seeds obvs
I just soak mine in water overnight with a bit of salt. Warm it in the morning, throw some raisins in and job jobbed.
Sorry very boring but does it for me.
Half oats plus half bran plus chia plus mixed seeds plus fresh/dried fruit. Rocket fuel.
I have started adding a Activia gut health yog, the range with prune, rhubard, date, into my oats along with a handful of dried cranberries. The biggest game changer for me though is 20g of flaxseed. It changes the texture to something more substantial which increases the eating enjoyment for me.
i do 1tbsp each of flaxseed and chia seed plus 1-2 tbsp of museli (not the type that has wheat flakes...) and some sultanas, soaked overnight in kefir. it's nice.
IMO it's tastier if I ditch the chia and flaxseed, and just go for museli. But I put those in as they're recommended in some arthritis diet I saw.
For breakfast oats I use half a cup (using a US style cup measure or a small teacup) of oats, half a cup of milk and half a cup of yoghurt. Mix well and leave in the fridge overnight. In the morning remove from the fridge and add whatever fruit or nuts you can forage from the kitchen. Can put frozen berries in the night before as an alternative.
I generally eat this at the kitchen or dining room table, occasionally on the sofa if watching telly.
PS does your partner know you are discussing your bedroom oats and walnuts on an online forum 😉
Someone on here once recommended muesli with orange juice which I tried one day when I was out of milk 🤮
Oats/plain granola with natural yogurt, warmed frozen berries, banana slices and flaked almonds (maple syrup as a treat).
Jumbo oats, sliced banana, defrosted blueberries and cherries, chia seeds, natural greek yoghurt, handful of various nuts, and kefir. In that order. Delish.
Sometimes I add tinned peaches instead of the defrosted fruits. Wild eh!
What’s the deal with chia seeds? Never heard of them before.
milk, whack it the microwave for a couple of minutes then put some honey in it.
👍
Oats, milk, raisins and 4g of good Coco powder left overnight.
Dried cranberries, blueberries, frozen redcurrants if you're feeling fancy.
What more do you want?
About double that quantity, plus a dessert spoon of peanut butter, some dried fruit soaked in milk overnight.
I have always like to eat oats, porridge, oatmeal etc. but have recently cut it out due to the use of pesticides https://www.pan-uk.org/site/wp-content/uploads/Pesticides-in-our-food-FINAL.pd f">Linky In 2019 the UK government detected that 94% of the oat products tested contained more than one pesticide.
Our local supermarkets sell generic oats, some labelled as organic, some not. No mention of being free of pesticide free. What oat products are you all using?
I've got hot oats sorted ,it's cold suggestions I need.
Every now and then, which actually included this morning, I have some porridge oats with a couple of tablespoons of hot chocolate powder, then chuck in some hot water. Cover and eat it about 5-10 minutes later. Really easy to do
Carrot cake oats (overnight):
45g oats
10g oat bran
40g finely shredded / grated carrot
40g grated apple
50g greek yoghurt
if after an hour on the turbo (pre breakfast) scoop of whey protein
sprinkle of chia seeds
about 100ml of water
Leave overnight...
syrup / honey to taste
Rub it on the person next to you.
Failing that mix with a little olive oil and honey and bake- it makes granola and you can have it not too sweet.
milk, whack it the microwave for a couple of minutes then put some honey in it.

What are you people doing / not doing that mean you have time for anything more than wang it in the microwave and multitask an existential crisis whilst you drink a coffee for 3 minutes?
The people who squeeze in a pre breakfast workout are bad enough!
get up at 5am... :-0
