Do you guys have any trouble getting blueberries at certain times of the year?


Edit: I now see that da_sense said frozen blueberries, which (I assume) can be gotten year round.

[ajnast4r]

yea, i buy frozen wild organic blueberries at wholefoods... they are like 2.50$ per 2 cups or so.

[caston]

I eat toast with a sugarless black and blueberry spread and oats using the same spread as a sweetener.

It's part of the exotic range on this page here:

I usually eat a big plate of mixed veggies for breakfast. I just heap them on the plate and put them in the microwave.

da_sense:

I heard milk eliminates the benificial effects of cocoa antioxidants because milk proteins bind to the antioxidants.

[AdamDavis]

I alternate between oatbran, organic millet rice flakes and organic swiss muesli, occasionally I have organic porridge too. I always have those with organic, unsweetened soya milk.

[nihilist]

7-9 eggs whites typically.

Something worths to give a try for the next order: Hi-Lignan Flax Seed Protein. [thumb]
Got the 16 oz. bottle delivered 2 days ago and since top my porridge a spoon on.



It definitively helps to keep hunger at bay for several hours and avoid me to open the fridge during the afternoon.
The taste isn't strong at all, slightly nutty.

It is a certified-organic, finely ground, low-fat flax seed fiber, processed and packaged without the damaging effects of light and oxygen.

Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) (C32H46O16) is an anti-oxidant phytochemical present in flax, sunflower, sesame and pumpkin seeds. It is a precursor of mammal lignans and a phytoestrogen.

Animal studies have shown SDG can prevent the development of atherosclerosis and diabetes and has beneficial modifying effect on blood and cholesterol levels.

I now eat a whole red capsicum on waking usually followed by almonds and a can of chilli tuna. Then the toast and blue/black berry spread if I'm still hungry.

Problem with the oats is it generates to much washing up and if the phone rings during prep or eating then it gets ruined.

[jmmathieu]

A bowl of cereal or a pop-tart, lol.

[stormheller]

Some breakfast foods I enjoy:
Lightly curried omelette with mixed vegetables, topped with a variety of sprouts
Mixed grain or mung dal congee
Grits
Whole grain sachima
Wholemeal buttermilk biscuits
Rosemary foccacia breakfast sandwich
Flax muffin
Fruit salad
Cinnamon goji bread
Greek yogurt with nuts and fresh berries

I use this as a base:
1/3 to 1/2 cup oats
1 egg whipped into it (maybe two if it's a long day ahead)
(put the oats and whipped egg into bowl, pour boiled water over it from my denki poto which partially cooks the eggs. Then it's only 35 seconds in the microwave.

Then it's an addition of 1 of these:
a) 1 mashed banana with ~20g raw cocoa
b) Furikake

Considering trying frozen blueberries as I don't feel I've gained much from taking two capsules/day of the Life Extension blueberry extract for 6 months.

I have a really excellent recipe for what I call "BlueStrawberry Oatmuffins". These things are so moist even at week's end being in the refrigerator. Don't see why extra eggs, raw cocoa, matcha or whatnot could be added to the recipe. What's easier than pickin' up a big honkin' muffin in the mornin' with everything in it that you could possibly need? If any one person shows interest I'll post it.

Every other day when I'm feeling well, I take a "flat" palm-sized pinch of Laver (here also: "organic, unwashed" ) in an 8oz glass of lukewarm water which I let steep for about 5 minutes and then drink the liquid portion. If time permits I put the rehydrated seaweed mass into the oatmeal concoction. If I don't have time for that or I feel it's time to alternate I take one cap each of H.E.A.T. and Amp.... along with a number of other things. But these are the breakfast essentials.

Sprouts and veggies...mmm. Time to add those to the list. I could just eat a bowl piled high with sprouts by itself.

i find it kind of funny that most members here eat rolled oats with whey and blueberries for breakfast.

[Johan]

I still live at home with my parents, and they won't buy any kind of food I want, so this is the best I can do at the moment.

My typical breakfast (I eat this every day):

30 g whole-grain cereals
1 cup soy milk
3 slices of whole-grain, protein-rich bread, with 25 g mackerel fillet on one of them, and then I make a sandwich out of the other two and put about 1/2 cup of mixed lettuce and 2 slices (20 g) of low-fat (5%) Swiss cheese in between them (a decent protein source - it has 31 g protein per 100 g cheese).
I also take a multivitamin, 1000 mg of Vitamin C, and 500 mg of fish oil.

All in all, this contains:
488.8 kcal
31.3 g protein
66.4 g carbs
- 22.6 g fiber
- 12.3 g sugar
11.8 g fat
- 2.4 g saturated
- 2.2 g monounsaturated
- 1.8 g polyunsaturated

When I move (in August) I plan on increasing my protein intake, and decreasing my carb intake. Maybe I could add some whey protein powder into that soy milk?

[dehbleh]

* 200 grams or so of ultra-refined white sugar
after 5 minutes this is followed by
* 25 units of IV Insulin

Have not been sick once this past week. I'm thrilled, this breakfast stack is really paying off!

[ajnast4r]

my recent breakfast has been:

3/4 cup crisped brown rice cereal
1/2 cup blueberries
2 tbsp drinking chocolate powder
1 scoop chocolate egg protein + 12oz water (premixed & poured into cereal instead of milk)


this is so good, i find myself waking up excited to eat breakfast

My breakfast:

Raw oatmeal mix (With seeds, very few dried sultanas and some nuts. Poured into a bowl)
Walnuts (I take a handful of fresh ones and crush them buy hand into the bowl)
Blueberries (About 100 grams. I put them in a cup and defrost them in the microwave before they go in
Cocoa nibs (about half a cup).
A banana (sliced and put into bowl)
Some whey protein (~20 grams of protein)

I mix all of this in a bowl and pour some low-fat milk on top. I love milk whatever the costs/benefits to my health it makes me *feel* nice so I guess that's something in itself.

A cup of pomegranate juice mixed with 2ml polypodium leucotomos extract (active ingredient in Heliocare).

A cup of green tea.

It's a pretty big breakfast. I like to take my time in the morning though. So I go to bed earlier and wake up at an appropriate time so I can do just that.

I don't have time for breakfast, so the only thing I really do is, drink some Ma Huang tea (Ephedra) and take some almonds and apricots with me to-go.

i really do not buy that excuse at all... i throw together and eat my breakfast in the time it takes tea water to boil. you could also pre-prep something the night before and scarf it first thing...

I've been considering that, preparing some salads or something the day before and have them in the fridge buut, won't that make them less nutritious to eat the next day?
