What a delicious healthy breakfast Julie.

Thankyou Judy, Mab, Cookie and Cornish. 

I used up the left over banana and mango by adding a bit of natural yoghurt to them and then pureeing in the TM.  Had enough mixture to pour into 2 ice block moulds, will be great for the upcoming hot couple of days.

Yesterday I made up a batch of this lovely granola from the blog below.  So quick and easy to make and tastes wonderful.

I had a ½ cup scoop this morning with reduced fat milk and a few fresh blueberries.  I can't imagine anyone not liking it. 

I'll keep my container in the fridge while it's summer.

As this is a UK site, remember that the tablespoons are equal to 3 tsp here in Oz.

Another delicious looking breakfast JulieO.  The sugar free version on the site also looks nice.

Delicious JulieO.
I found that a lot of the spoon sets sold are 15ml tablespoons. I bought one especially to use for UK and US recipes.

Thanks girls, it's very nice.

Yes I have both Cookie.  Doesn't matter too much with some things but in cases like spices etc that extra tsp can make a lot of difference.

I made this delicious breakfast this morning, from the 5:2 diet.  So enjoyed it and because my pear was really ripe it added more sweetness than normal.

Not the best light outside this morning when I took the photo but you get the idea. 

SEASONAL FRUIT BREKKIE BAKE serves 1 – 275 cals (5:2 diet)
1 pear, peeled, cored and sliced into rounds
1 red apple, peeled, cored, halved and sliced into half moons
1 tsp raisins
1 strawberry, cut into quarters, lengthways
2 tbsp rolled oats combined with 1 tsp honey (used pure maple syrup)
2 tsp no fat nat yoghurt with a small pinch ground cinnamon (used Greek style)

Combine apple, pear and raisins in a small baking dish. 
Turn Turbo oven to 180C and bake 10 mins. (just preheat your oven and bake for 10-15 mins until fruit is tender but not dried out).

Add the sliced strawberry and sprinkle with combined oats and honey/maple syrup.  Bake 5 mins until toasted and fruit is tender. 

Serve topped with yoghurt.

You go to so much trouble with your breakfasts Julie, they all look sooo good.

I'm loving your breakfast Julie. Think I will make one of the granola  recipes for DH. We are nearly out of Tenina's one. That macaroon one sounds interesting.

Delicious once again Julie. You obviously like variety.

A delicious looking breakfast Julie.

Thankyou girls.  Am enjoying making a lot of different breakfasts lately.  Will post the recipes if not protected by copyright.

Today's breakfast was 'Breakfast crumble with cinnamon yoghurt'.  I can't post the ingredient quantites as it's a MB recipe, but I can say the filling is pureed apple and strawberries, topped with natural yoghurt with a little ground cinnamon added and the top was granola (used what I made a couple of days ago). 

I pre-made it yesterday so i could just take it out of the fridge this morning.  The granola stayed crunchy so was pleased about that.  Another one I really enjoyed.
