Breakfast is the worst meal of the day to me.  I love sleeping, and being cuddly and warm in the morning makes it very difficult for me to get up in the morning.  This inevitably leads to me running late, and breakfast being rushed (I used to skip it all the time, before I was diagnosed).  Finding a quick and easy breakfast that suits my lifestyle has been one of the problems that I've been trying to solve recently.  These are my favourite solutions:

1)  Fat-free, low GI muffins.  I found a basic recipe for these in my Eating for Sustained Energy books, and have been able to tweak the flavourings.  I've made banana, apple and pear, and orange muffins.  I then package them into ziplock bags (two per bag gives me 2 servings of carbs and one of protein) and stash them in the freezer.  The night before I pull a bag of muffins out the freezer to defrost, and grab them on my way out and add some pecan nuts in to up the protein.

2)  Low fat, low GI crumpets.  Also an Eating for Sustained Energy recipe.  I've always associated crumpets with luxury and lazy Sunday afternoons, so I view these as a treat.  I make up a batch, stash them in the fridge, and grab 4 and a handful of grated mozzarella on the way out.  I always use mozzarella grated, so I grate the whole block of cheese when I buy it and put it in a tupperware in the fridge.  I tend to overdo the mozzarella though, so I'm trying to cut down on these for the next while.  The first two items on this list are particularly delightful when paired with Lipton Lite Peach flavoured Ice Tea. 

3)  Phyl's diabetic rusks, plus pecans or mozzarella or, if I odn't have anyof those and am desparate for protein, Enterprise Chicken Roll (NOT chicken polony, which is much higher in fat).  I eat these when I've been too lazy to bake.

4)  The new Sasko Low GI True Wholewheat bread or Albany Low GI seed loaf, with scrambled eggs.  I make my scrambled eggs in the microwave, so I don't add any fat and they're quicker.  The method is basically to mix up your eggs (they don't need to be completely beaten as you would if you were doing it in a frying pan though) in a microwave dish.  Add whatever extras you like - milk, salt, black pepper etc.  You then put them in the micro for about a minute on high.  Take it out, and stir with a fork.  Put back in the micro for another minute.  Repeat the process until the eggs are done.
