Recipes: seven Slimming World breakfasts (older version)

This is a really old post from goodness knows when, originally posted for Eileen.  I have tried to update it but please do check the swips and healthy extras for yourself.
I have others breakfasts as well now so will do another post and include them.  

Seven Slimming World friendly breakfasts

I'm funny with breakfasts.  Sometimes I can have the same thing for days on end, sometimes I want to ring the changes and sometimes I just forget (but I don't recommend that one).

I've sorted out seven that I have made and liked so that, if you want, you could have a different breakfast every day of the week.  Sadly, I don't have photos for them all.

1:  Fresh fruit and natural yogurt
I love this one.  Use any SW friendly yogurt; just remember to swip it, if necessary
I just bung a mixture of 'free' (mostly speed) fruit in a bowl, spoon over a few dollops of natural yogurt and a sprinkle of stevia.  Couldn't be simpler.  Couldn't be more naturally delicious.   It is even healthier if you pre soak some chia seeds or add some mixed seeds (both half a healthy fats choice per level tbsp)






2:  Porridge, fresh fruit and yogurt.
As above but make porridge with 40g oats (fibre healthy extra), 125mls semi skimmed (half a calcium healthy extra ) topped up with water, if you want, plus a pinch of salt.  Bring to a simmer, stirring.  It thickens straight away and bob's your uncle!  Add the fruit (warm it up first, if you like) and some natural yogurt with a sprinkle of stevia.  Filling and delicious.

(ignore the pot to the left!)

3.  Beans on toast
Dead easy.  I use a third to a half of a can plus wholemeal toast for a fibre healthy extra.  I find that the bean sauce straight on toast makes the toast go very soggy so I use light cheese spread and swip it or spray the bread woth some 'free' spray before toasting.  It makes the toast go all crunchy.
To give the beans a bit more ooomph, add tomato puree, cajun spice, brown sauce, ketchup, etc.  The latter two will need to be swipped.

4.  Overnight oats.

Easy as long as you remember to get it ready the night before!  Pop 40g oats in a bowl or jar (kilners look trendy but are not essential!), then add some yogurt and maybe some fruit.  I also add some milk and a pinch of salt and give it all a good mix up.  Cover and leave in the fridge overnight.  In the morning you have a delicious, creamy, oaty mixture that is gorgeous with some added fruit.

It's flexible, this one.  You can use flavoured yogurts (remember to syn them), spices (cinnamon is nice), add the fruit (could be from the freezer) before it all soaks . . . it's all lovely.

The oats are a fibre choice and 125 mls semi skimmed is half a calcium choice

5.  Waffles with fruit and yogurt
https://sw-the-med-way.blogspot.com/2026/01/recipe-basic-discard-pancakeswaffles.html
(or use 20g wholewheat flour - half a fibre choice)
The recipe (for one)  made five little waffles in my press (three for the breakfast and two for later to stave off the bad munchies).
Add any syrup but don't forget to swip it.
The oats are one fibre choice
And this recipe is absolutely delicious!

6:  Cooked breakfast
(aka 'full English')
choose from sausages (SW free ones), bacon medallions (all fat trimmed off), egg (cooked without fat or with fry light), baked beans, tomatoes and mushrooms (both cooked with Fry light).
Add a potato waffle. toasted (Morrisons are two swips each) or some fried bread made by spraying a small slice of wholemeal for fry light and then popping in a hottish frying pan until browned and crisp.
(apologies for the dreadful photo)
Pop some of it into a wholemeal pitta or a wholemeal roll (one fibre) for a different way of serving.
Syn any sauces you use.

7:  Boiled eggs and toasty soldiers
(the name has stuck since childhood)
What it says on the tin!  Have the toast neat (up to one fibre choice) or add some Dairylea (or equivalent) cheese spread and swip what you use - or use a calcium choice of spready cheeser.
Or you could use a wholemeal pitta cut into strips instead.

So there you go.  Seven SW friendly and very tasty breakfasts.
