This is what I made for my breakfast this morning.  The photo isn't the best seeing it was such bad light outside, but you can see how lovely and thick it is but still drinkable.  You could thin it down with icecubes but I didn't want to do that. 

The recipe is from the Taste website, so quick and easy in the TM.

MANGO, ALMOND AND HONEY BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE serves 1 – 265 cals
˝  mango, peeled and cut into chunks
200g reduced fat milk
60g low-fat natural yoghurt (used home-made)
1 tbsp almond meal (used home-made LSA)
1-2 tsp Manuka honey
Ice cubes (didn’t use)

Place all ingredients  except honey into TM bowl.  Blend until smooth 10 secs/speed 8. 
Taste for sweetness, if it needs more, add honey and blend 4 more seconds.

I made custard http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=9979.0to go with Christmas pudding, but we were so full on Christmas Day that we didn't even hear up the pud. I left half of the custard at my parent's house and mum said how delicious it was for brekky the next morning with some fresh cherries. I would never of thought of it myself, but I tried it this morning and she was correct (as usual). I pitted some cherries and popped them on top of a bowl of cold custard, and the cherries seemed somehow sweeter with a mouthful of the smooth and creamy custard.

I should imagine it would taste lovely ES.

I made this yesterday morning as I was feeling really cold after my morning walk and I really enjoyed it.  I didn't bother to photograph it as it just looked like porridge in a bowl, nothing special, but I really enjoyed the flavour.

It was quite runny after cooking, but leaving it to sit for a few mins while I made a cup of tea allowed it to thicken enough to eat.  The other serve I had this morning wasn't stogey enough for me to have to add any more milk to.

CINNAMON & BANANA PORRIDGE serves 2 – 300 cals/serve (you could bring down the calories further to 263/serve if you used 200g milk + 175g water).

75g rolled oats
375g reduced-fat milk
1 large banana, pulled into chunks
˝ tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp maple syrup to serve

Place all ingredients except maple syrup into TM bowl.
Cook 7 mins/90C/Reverse + speed 2. 
Let sit in the bowl for a few mins to thicken up slightly,  (will stay hot).

Divide among 2 serving bowls and drizzle with the maple syrup.

I had this for breakfast this morning at 8 am Julie and it was 2.30 before I had lunch. Oats (or chia) really keeps me going a lot longer than any other breakfast.  I only have a small breakfast, I'll get 3 or 4 serves from this recipe.   It was sweet enough for me without adding the maple syrup. Thanks for sharing.

That's great Judy.  The banana adds a nice subtle flavour I think, glad you enjoyed it.

We have been enjoying Tenina's Cranberry Almond Pecan Maple Oat Granola for our breakfast, really yummy with raspberry and Rhubarb Compote and Greek yoghurt.  I made some for gifting too. ( the Decor oil sprayer next to the Granola was a great find too, works well nd very cheap)
