Slimming World breakfast options

When I first joined Slimming World, I wanted someone to sit down with me and tell me what I could eat and what I should eat. now I know that this varies for everyone with lifestyle, personal likes and habits, but all I wanted people to do with me at the start was to tell me exactly what they were eating.

So I've put together a few posts of what I eat for Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.

Those of you that follow me on Instagram will be more than familiar with what I eat on a daily basis, but I kind of like seeing it all together like this and this was the type of post that  I was looking for when I first joined Slimming World.

On work days, I go for the quickest breakfast possible as I leave getting up/ getting ready to the last possible second, so breakfast is ALWAYS a rush job. So I have 3 brekkies that I alternate between

Number 1. Old reliable Weetabix. 

You can have 2 x Weetabix's as you Healthy Extra B (HEB) choice, I only ever eat 1.5 and its enough for me, I still count it as my HEB... I also only eat these hot from the microwave...

350ml Milk (skimmed) is my Healthy Extra A (HEA) every day, as I could not live without milk in my tea. 

Weetabix

Number 2. Bran Flakes
35g Brans Flakes (always weighed) (HEB) & skimmed Milk (HEB)
SIMPLES...

Always weigh your HEA & HEB

35g Bran Flakes & skimmed milk

Number 3. Overnight Oats
These feel like a treat breakfast to me and are my favorite because I make them the night before, so in the morning time all I need is my spoon at the ready to eat. If you want to know how to make these, click here to find my "how to" post.
30g Oats = HEB
Mullerlight Vanilla with chocolate sprinkles = Free
Frozen Raspberries = Speed
Blueberries = Speed

Overnight Oats

Overnight Oats

Weekends however are a different story, I have time to think about what I'd like to eat and time to make it also... So at the weekends I do like to have a hot breakfast, as it tends to be brunch rather than breakfast (cause I do like to sleep in.....)

Pancake Tuesday

I tried this recipe for Pancakes a few month ago from Lovely Girlie Bits Blog (Link here)

and decided that I would give these Magic pancakes another go for Pancake/ Shrove Tuesday.

I also bought a mix in Tesco's, one of the “just add milk” and if you use the milk as your Healthy Extra A, the mix makes 10 pancakes, each with a syn value of 5 syns, and that’s before you add any toppings!! 

5 syns PER PANCAKE

For these magic pancakes, you can have them for free if you count the 35g oats as your Healthy Extra B or syn the oats at 6 syns.. all the other ingredients are free.. so you can make a good few pancakes from the batter with a total of 6 syns before toppings.

Definitely the way to go I think

So all you need is 35g porridge oats, any free Mullerlight (I used Vanilla) Sweetener & 2 eggs

Place your 35g of porridge oats in a bowl, mix with half a Müllerlight yogurt, add 2 tbsp of sweetener & 2 eggs into the mixture..

Blend until it looks like a batter (I put mine in the fridge for 40 mins, while I had dinner)

Pre heat frying pan and spray with fry light

Use a desert spoon and measure out roughly *12* small pancakes(I made 6 small & 1 large)

Fry one side for about 4-5 minutes until it stops bubbling

Flip over and cook for further 3-4 minutes until golden brown/ burnt like mine

If you wanted to have these for a total of 6 syns ((or free if oats are your HEB,)) then serve these with lovely free/speed fruit & the other half of your Mullerlight

If you've saved all your syns to have these as your treat (I know I have) then here are the syns for other toppings that you might want to top your pancakes with.

Other toppings

Lemon = Free

Sweetener = Free

Sugar = 1 level Tablespoon = 3 syns

Choc Shot – 1 level Tablespoon = 2 syns

Jam (reduced sugar)  =  1 level Tablespoon = 1 syn

Nutella  = 1 level Tablespoon = 4 syns

Peanut Butter = 1 level Tablespoon = 4.5 syns

Maple syrup = 1 level Tablespoon = 2 syns

Golden syrup = 1 level  Tablespoon = 2.5 syns

For ahem research purposes for the blog, I decided to try a few of the toppings on my little experiment... All of the below came in at 13.5 syns (including 6 syns for the oats) 
Which isn't bad at all

For any of you lovely ladies that are banana fan’s, check out this link to the Skinny Doll’s blog for banana pancakes

Slimming World Ladies beware that mashed banana is 6 syns, so these are not free

I hope where ever you are today that your enjoying a pancake or three :-)
