Apple Muesli

Mix together a helping of sugar free muesli with a grated apple. Pour over skimmed or calcium enriched soya milk and top with a blob of low fat plain yogurt.

French Toast

Leave two slices of multigrain bread out overnight. In the morning whisk an egg with a pinch of cinnamon, fructose and nutmeg. Dip the bread into the egg mix and fry in a non-stick pan brushed with a little oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes each side. While still hot top with a tablespoon of low fat fromage frais and slices of your favourite fruit. Apple, peach, pear and mango make tasty choices.

Blueberry Porridge

Mix together a small mug of porridge oats with 1 mug of skimmed or calcium enriched soya milk and two mugs of water plus some dried blueberries (or other dried fruits of your choice). Bring to the boil gently and simmer according to pack instructions.

Fruity Toast

Toast two slices of fruit loaf and spread with a tablespoon of reduced fat cream cheese. Slice an apple and serve layered on top of the cream cheese.

Peanut Butter Toast

Spread two slices of granary toast with peanut butter and serve with a glass of orange juice.

Fresh Fruit Bowl

Cut up three of your favourite fruits - a banana, apple, pear - the choice is yours and mix together in a bowl. Serve topped with a small carton of low fat yogurt.

Bacon Sandwich

Grill two slices of extra lean bacon bacon and toast two slices of sourdough bread. Lay the bacon on one slice of the toast and spread Ketchup on the other slice. Lay slices of grilled tomatoes on top of the bacon, top with the Ketchup spread toast and serve.

Eggs on Toast 

Grill two big mushrooms and a tomato sliced in half. Poach an egg by dropping into fast boiling water with a tsp. of vinegar. Toast 2 slices of granary bread. Drain the egg and serve on one slice of the toast and serve the tomato and mushrooms on the second slice.

Vanilla Breakfast Baked Bananas

Cut a piece of foil big enough to wrap a banana in. Sprinkle foil with a little vanilla essence, a tbs. orange juice, a tsp. of fructose, and if you fancy it, some cinnamon. Peel a large, medium ripe banana and place on to the foil. Brush with some more orange juice and sprinkle over some more fructose. Fold up the foil and bake the banana in a hot oven for 5 minutes. Alternatively do not fold and simply grill for 5 minutes. Serve with 0% fat Greek yogurt, very low fromage frais or plain low fat yogurt.
