From browsing Pinterest and Instagram, I think a lot of SWers start the day with Muller Lights, fresh fruit and Alpen Lights. I can completely understand why - it's a great combination of sugar and convenience, and something you can pretty much eat anywhere.
I leave for work at about 7.45, and between feeding the cats, showering, scrabbling around in the dark trying to find clothes, I really don't have time or any desire to eat. For me, breakfast is at about 9, during the week at my desk, while I read my emails; or in my pyjamas in the kitchen at the weekend.
Weekends are easy: I LOVE boiled eggs and will often have a couple, with a slice of toast (HEB), chopped into soldiers. Yes, I am a child. I wash it down with coffee and maybe an apple or some banana, and I'm good to go. Occasionally, I'll add some bacon to the mix, but usually the eggs are plenty.
For desk-fasts, though, I need to be a bit more organised. I'm not particularly sweet-toothed, and I find that too much sugar leaves me feeling hungry, so I err more towards the savoury options. I love Krisprolls (3 are a HEB) and often have them with ham (free) and a Laughing Cow triangle (usually the Light ones, which I take as my HEA). I try to make myself have an apple every morning...not just to keep the doctor away, but because I find it fills me up until lunchtime.
There are plenty of interesting ideas on Pinterest for clean breakfasts, and I've been trying to find some new options. A lot involve eggs - which would be fine for the weekends, but would need to be things like cold frittate for the week. I think I might try to rustle up some breakfast muffins tonight or maybe tomorrow - so far I'm thinking ham, spinach, maybe some parmesan? Will report back in due course!
Today's question then, is this: what are your SW breakfast staples?
