Breakfast

I eat high fiber, complex carbs, low sugar/salt granola out of rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, flax meal, cinnamon and turmeric, a bit of honey and olive oil, and other stuff. I mix it in large batches and toast in the oven at 350 degrees F for 20 min, stir, then another 20 min. It keeps for months. I also eat GF sourdough English muffins with butter and jam (celiac, so healthy GF bread pretty much has to be hand made). With MGUS and colitis I try to limit simple carbs (sugars and starches), processed foods, and red meat. A limited diet isn't necessarily limited.

Greek yogurt mixed with homemade applesauce. Helps keep my tummy happy. But, I am a rebel, and will often have leftovers for breakfast. Or a homemade protein shake made with blueberries, Greek yogurt, protein powder and almond milk. Or "open the fridge, what looks good?" approach. These days I eat to make sure there is enough protein in my diet, as appetite is pretty much gone.

Eating in general now poses many new challenges for me as, in addition, medical tests have shown that, as a 75 year old male, I tend to aspirate while eating and have been diagnosed with Dysphagia. This has meant a much revamped diet and more refined eating habits for me.

I tried buying a “vegan” batch of granola at a farmers market just this past Sunday. I didn’t have my reading glasses with me. Small print - milk fat, milk. So thanks for the diy push. This morning, dietitian pushed what my wife has been saying, I need to forget about losing weight and focus on getting enough protein in my system. Anybody have great vegan granola recipes?

Technically, mine is vegan. I stir in several TBSP each of honey, and olive or grapeseed oil after I stir together a large bowl of ~50% rolled oats. with the other 50% split among chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds, ground flax seed, several TBSP of psyllium husk, cinnamon and turmeric, and other things that can include dried fruits, coconut shreds, or cocoa. If you search for online vegan granola recipes, it is good to minimize or delete the added sugar (vanilla extract adds sweetness to the mix without the simple carbs).

Thank you, for your recipe. Vegans don’t use any animal products, including honey. I will use you idea of fruit and/ or see if I can locate some vegan Greek yogurt again.

One could instead use agave nectar, sugar, sorghum, date sugar (not palm, from dates), or other non-animal sweetener. I've been cooking (not continuously of course) for ~60 years, so mostly cook from scratch and do a lot of substitutions. I add a couple of TBSP of psyllium husk to bread dough, smoothies, or other drinks because its soluble fiber feeds the "good" bacteria in my GI tract and the insoluble just keeps things moving along. The is more an issue (so to speak) for oldsters and folk with autoimmune diseases.
