A typical breakfast for us: eggs (two for Mr, one for me), a generous cup of fresh berries or melon, rye bread or a TJ potato hash patty, some yogurt, and coffee with milk (always 2% for me, no more no less ).
My new workday breakfast is one egg cooked with lots of veggies and 2 small keto friendly tortillas to put my egg and veggies in so I can eat with hot sauce like a taco. I always have a large mug of tea with a splash of cream with breakfast. I don’t like sweets for breakfast so no berries for or melon for me.
I don’t recall anyone mentioning this upstream, but is anyone else experiencing a blueberry shortage?
One upscale market near me had them at like $12.99/container, but I ain’t paying that. The markets just don’t have them at all.
Wow. Just got a carton at our local Costco… they had piles of both organic and “inorganic” to choose from!
Ha no… on a low fiber, pre-colonoscopy diet this week. Most fruit is not allowed. (Happily bananas are allowed.)
Maybe try frozen blueberries. I throw them right into my cereal/milk.
Which reminds me… my VERY favorite cereal (not allowed this week) is Fiber One Original. Around here most stores seem to not carry it OR be out of stock. A 2/3c serving has 18g fiber, only 90 calories, zero sugar. I eat it for breakfast 3 times a week, with milk and fruit (berries or bananas)…. sometime with some chopped walnuts too .
Plenty here priced normally.
FWIW, except when they are in season locally (July) I usually just buy frozen, rather than fresh. Same with raspberries.
I typically buy our blueberries at TJ’s and have definitely noticed a drop in supply over past couple of weeks.
Definitely having a hard time finding fresh blueberries( California)
H loves Fiber One Original, but I’ve not been able to find it anywhere. Local store had it and I bought three. They had four, didn’t want to buy 'em out
Bought blueberries at Costco yesterday. They are big and firm. Good flavor.
We usually buy at Costco unless they are in season here. Otherwise blueberries are pretty tasteless imo
I like my blueberries cooked better than raw so frozen is not a problem for me. I like the small wild ones best. However since my husband’s favorite fruit is blueberries and he does the Costco runs, I don’t have any idea what he’s paying for them!
Another Costco blueberry buyer. I need them to be be bigger and firm and they almost always are!
So many blueberry fans. I like them a lot. But I like raspberries and blackberries even better. In winter I often use frozen ones.
Has anybody tried this? Might try it (with sugar instead of Splenda)
Yea, I’ve made that mug dessert. It’s pretty good when you have a taste for chocolate. I use monkfruit sweetener.
Not sure I’ve ever bought sprouted grain bread. I’ll have to look more carefully next time we are in the bread aisle.
I try to eat minimal bread but do like Dave’s Killer Bread Thin Sliced (70 cals and healthy). I can’t seem to stomach Ezekiel bread, though have tried a few times, LOL!
I was also going to say Dave’s Killer Bread. Definitely some of the bread varieties - can’t remember if the bagels are sprouted. I get DKB at Costco in the 2 pack for a very good price.
I thought of this thread this weekend as I tried a new to be vegetable/way to cook it. It was so yummy I’d definitely eat it as a vegetable side, for a snack or for breakfast (I like savory breakfast).
Delicata squash. Easy to prepare. Cut it in half length wise. Scoop out the seeds. Cut in 1/2-1 inch “smiles”. Roast on parchment paper at 450 with olive oil, coarse salt, pepper. Takes about 20-25 minutes, flip 15 minutes through. You eat the skin and all. SO delicious!
Here it is prepared:
Here it is as you’ll buy it:
They aren’t too big - I say 1-2 per person for the size that was available to me to buy. I could def eat a whole one by myself.
Any new healthy foods(or healthy-ish, as compared to holiday eating splurges ) to share?
I’m munching over this snack that the visiting kids left behind.
The best healthy tip I have right now is “go back to work so you don’t have access to snacking options all day”!!
I did make some cranberry orange walnut muffins the other day when a friend was coming over that didn’t have too much sugar. A cup of coffee or tea and a muffin is a nice filling snack!
