Jingthing Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I'm under the impression that many people eat the same thing for breakfast most all the time. I'm definitely like that. So what is your STANDARD breakfast these days and how flexible are you about it? Here is mine these days: Very small portion of high quality muesli with no sugar added or even sugared dried fruit Very small portion of unsweetened German corn flakes Tablespoon of ground flax seeds A small portion of honey on top One sliced banana One other sliced fruit of the day: apple, papaya, or melon Topped with a mixture of very cold water and unsweetened soy milk, ratio about 1 soy milk to 4 water. The soy milk is high fat so it is still a rich milk topping It kind of shocks me how anal I am about this breakfast. It would be disturbing to not have any key ingredients in stock for it. Bananas especially are a little tricky because of the ripening issues. I have this breakfast every day. Over time sometimes the cereal elements change, such as if Grape Nuts are on sale I would use instead of Muesli. So what is your breakfast ritual? Somehow I doubt most people are as obsessive as me on this. But it might be fun to hear about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley'sLife Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Similar to you JJ, but I go for 4 spoons of rolled oats, 1 spoon muesli cooked for 2 minutes with a cover of water. After heating I stir-in soy milk, add sliced bananas -at least 2 large ones in quantity although the type will vary depending what is currently available from the garden, plus any other seasonal fruit available but usually a choice of grapes, apple, farang (guava), or dragonfruit. This is then topped off with a handful of cornflakes (Makro brand). To drink I microwave a cup of blended tea (Japanese green, malaysian black) to which I have already added lemongrass. I make this every 3 days and keep in the fridge, drinking cold during the day, but in the morning always warm with added lime juice and Thai honey. I have always had the same breakfasts for many consecutive months (American= straight months!) only occasionally inserting a full English/American breakfast into the routine. For example, before my current breakfast I used to have home-made tomato sauce on toasted home-made wholewheat bread. - Not like Heinze ketchup, just whole blended fresh tomatoes with chilli flakes and some brown sugar, garlic and finely chopped onions with virgin olive oil, all cooked down to a sauce, made in bulk, batched and frozen in breakfast size portions. I'm not a "morning" person, so it's great to have food that I can make when I'm on autopilot, plus it keeps the shopping list easy! Where do you get your unsweetened soy milk from and what's the brand name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, that sounds so involved that I was thinking you were writing a satire of a health food breakfast!Anyway, unsweetened soy milk brands, Silk and Kikkoman, available at most expat groceries in Pattaya anyway. One thing that I find really funny is that I have never found a commercial soy milk product that is BOTH low fat AND no sugar. You can find no sugar. You can find low fat. But you can't find both. They know some of their market likes either of them, do they think nobody would buy the combo? Anyway, not a problem for me as I dilute the stuff and it saves me money ...

That sounds pretty good to me. I do think fresh fruit is healthier than juice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley'sLife Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I have never seen the soy milk brands you mention. All the ones available to me are sweetened, but I don't have local access to expat groceries. Next time I'm in Bkk though I'll have a look for them. Thanks. Yes, I agree about the choices here, but Thais don't seem to bother too much about health as it relates to food. -yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rucus7 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Usually two cups of black coffee. Then 45 to 60 minutes of Cardiovascular exercise, 20 to 30 minutes weight training. Then I eat a couple pieces of fruit. An apple and a banana most often. I have found over the years that eating prior to a workout is a mistake for me. It is only 6 days a week by the way.

Ausladyinpatong Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I always look forward to my hot oatmeal or Alpen musli topped with natural yogurt and two cups of coffee with milk ....but if it's a late breakfast after a big night out I'll have either peanut butter (I stock up on the unsweetened brand whenever I see it) or sardines on wholewheat toast and a berocca (with panadol if needed) Breakfast for me really is the most important meal, couldn't ever miss it!
