Breakfast alone!

Good morning!

Friday mornings are a bit of a luxury for me. Granted it is 8:11am and I already have one load of washing out on the line and another on the go, but I have been able to sit and eat my breakfast (and a cup of tea!) on my own and in peace. My amazing husband takes our two older kids to school on Friday mornings so I can stay at home with our sleeping baby. So we have a whirlwind of getting ready quickly but it is very worthwhile! My kids love spending the time with Daddy before school and the little miss doesn't get her sleeps mucked up. And I get a little de-stress. Lovely.

So my breakfast this morning is a little creation of mine. I have to note that it isn't nut-free - almonds are ok in our house since we have done a successful challenge on them with the allergy specialist - but you could easily just leave them out.

small handful of almonds - roughly chopped (I use my Tupperware Turbo Chopper - easy!)
1/2 cup 'Grainfull Flakes' by freelicious
1/2 cup (or more - these are the cheap ones!) 'Skippy Corn Flakes' by Sanitarium
A sprinkling of sweetened dried cranberries
Rice milk (I use one that is protein enriched with chickpeas)

The Grainful Flakes are unlike any gluten free flake I've had before - crunchy and yet not hard on the teeth - very much like 'normal' cereal flakes. The only thing I don't like about them is the price - over $7 for 300g. So I was excited to notice that Sanitarium's corn flakes don't have gluten in them (the more popular brand contains barley) and by adding them, I don't use up the other flakes as quickly. It's a great way to start my morning.
