Low K Breakfasts

Breakfast is a very important meal of the day!

It sets us up for the rest of the day. It can also be a time of peace and quiet before the start of a busy day.

In summer, it is worth having breakfast out in the open – on a deck, under a tree, with or without friends – to reward yourself about how well you are doing. Fresh fruit gives a great summery feeling especially with all the berries available at that time.

In winter, I find that being able to look outside by sitting at a window but remaining warm, is a great benefit but I also try to get fresh air whenever the opportunity presents itself. Warmed fruit alongside my cereal or toast helps that healthy feeling.

It is not necessary to have a specially cooked breakfast every day but there are times when that little something extra goes a long way to help you move on.

Yoghurt Compotes

  • INGREDIENTS

  • 200 grams of Natural Yoghurt, for two people.

OPTIONS

  • Pineapple chunks with a cardamom powder.
  • Halved grapes.
  • Banana with almond flakes.
  • Dried cranberries with the contents of a passionfruit.
  • Peeled apple with a dash of cinnamon powder.
There are many commercial flavoured yoghurts available. However, a recent survey published in September 2018 in BMJ Online noted that, across the board, they have higher total sugars than generally recommended. Natural (plain) and Greek yoghurts were found to have the lowest carbohydrate content with the least amount of free sugars. I have, therefore, included some ideas on how to use Natural or Greek yoghurts for breakfast dishes which you may not have thought about. These mixes can also be used on plain cereals such as Weet-Bix or, doubled in quantity, for dessert.

DIRECTIONS

  • Add a dessert spoon of small pineapple chunks with a dash of cardamom powder.
  • Add four halved grapes and four segments of orange each cut into three pieces including the juice from both fruits.
  • Add 1⁄4 banana finely sliced with a half a teaspoon of almond flakes.
  • Add a teaspoon of dried cranberries (5), sliced finely, together with the contents of a passionfruit.
  • Add 1⁄4 finely chopped peeled apple with a dash of cinnamon powder.
