Fruit Bowl Strawberry Flakes, 5 x 18g

Product Information

Breakfast cereals tend to be based on grains - some are wholegrains (such as wheat, bran, oats), and others are refined grains (such as maize and rice). Many also have nuts, seeds and dried fruit added to them. Granola with chocolate has all the same issues that regular granola has, in that it's high in fat and sugar, but with added chocolate - so even more fat and more sugar! Granola with chocolate is best enjoyed as an occasional treat. I love a slice of fruit loaf, and this is a really simple but delicious one. It’s a great keeper – in fact if you can stand not to cut into the loaf for a couple of days, it will taste all the better. I love this fruity bran loaf spread with lots of butter at any time of the day. I’ve even been known to have a slice for breakfast. Other cereals were found to have moderate to high amounts of sugar and fat. The cereals that score high in fat but low in saturated fat are ones in which the fat mainly comes from unsaturated sources.

All the TikTok videos are of people showing pictures of things from their crunchy childhood, with the Puff the Magic Dragon song playing as the audio. Whatever your choice for breakfast for your diabetes, it's important to maintain a regular meal pattern and try to make time to eat breakfast each morning. Although you can eat this fruit loaf straight away, it’s much better if you can leave it for a day or two. Just like a malt loaf or gingerbread, it will soften and become squidgier. Dried fruit of your choice – sultanas, raisins, currants, cranberries and apricots are all good here. I imagine those exotic fruit mixes you can buy would be really lovely. Ground mixed spice, ground cinnamon or ginger (optional but I always include it for a little extra flavour)

Pour the sugar, dried fruit, milk and bran flakes into a large mixing bowl and stir well. Cover the bowl and leave for one hour. Another tip when carb counting - remember to allow for the extras you have added to your cereal such as milk, fruit or yogurt. No added sugar muesli contains a mixture of grains, fruit and nuts and the combination will differ between brands and varieties so the amount of oat beta glucans will be more variable than porridge, which is made only of oats. The dried fruit that is added should provide all the additional sweetness you need and will also count towards your five a day but choose a muesli with no added sugar and be aware that many fruit and nut mueslis (especially tropical fruit versions) contain sweetened dried fruit, which means they have sugar added even if it isn’t listed separately on the ingredients. Banana chips are another popular muesli ingredient that will contain added sugars and saturated fats.

Your mum was on the PTA and would always bake a cake for the raffle at the school fair What are people saying on TikTok about crunchy childhood? This will give you a great head start on your day, providing you with the fuel needed to set about your daily tasks. But first, let's find out a little more about what breakfast for diabetes we should be on the look out for...Be aware of portion sizes - consider whether the portion size suggested on the box is the same as the portion size you're consuming. Many people pour a larger bowl and therefore consume more calories and more carbohydrate. This is important if you're counting calories to control weight, or if you carb count to adjust the correct dose of insulin. Sugar – I like to use soft or dark brown sugar. caster sugar is also fine, but your loaf will be much lighter in colour. The bran flakes will obviously soften and the mixture will be quite mushy and unattractive. Don’t be put off by the appearance. Cereals like cornflakes or puffed rice served with low-fat milk – can be part of a healthy breakfast but are low in fibre so not as good a choice as a wholegrain cereal. Adding a piece of fruit will help to balance your breakfast as well as making it more filling to eat. These cereals, and their wholegrain equivalents, usually come with added sugar and salt but also often have added vitamins and minerals which are good for your overall health. Other low-fibre unsweetened cereals (like crisped rice or malted flakes) will be similar from a heart health point of view. I actually used a small mug to measure my ingredients, but it’s swings and roundabouts really. I’ve made this recipe countless times and it’s never, ever gone wrong. Well, apart from the time I forgot to add the flour!! Yes, I am that dozy at times….
