Is a banana and glass of milk a decent breakfast ?

[Amiterrible]

what do you think ?

I think yes

It wouldn’t be enough for most people but it’s a reasonable balance of fat, protein, carbs and fibre to get you started

Not for a child off to do lots of activity.

But if they are difficult about food and won't have anything else I'd count it as a win.

Yes if you drink milk and like bananas

Yep

Would be for me. Maybe not for an active child.

What’s the context, and what are the alternatives?

It’s definitely better than a vape and an energy drink. Probably not as good as something with more protein and complex carbohydrate like steel-cut porridge with nuts or seeds, or egg on toast.

But there’s no sense trying to aim for an unachievable goal, so if a banana and a glass of milk is as good as it’s going to get, then it’s good enough for now.

Yes

Perfect (though I dislike milk, nutritionally speaking, it’s a whole food).
A glass of kefir and banana is even better. Add a dollop of manuka honey to the kefir and you’re skydiving into good health.

Who for? And how long til lunch? 🤷‍♀️

Depending on who it is for and what they're up to, but in general its fine.

If that's what the person wants, then yes.

I'd say it's a little bit light and the person wouldn't be unreasonable to want more/something else as well.

I whizz that up with a couple of spoons of oats and a spoon of peanut butter, sets you up for hours. On its own it’s nice but not that filling.

Impossible to say without more context, eg what the person is eating during the rest of the day and whether the person in question feels fine on that breakfast.

Yes, for most people that would be fine if that's what they want.

Fine if they are happy with it. A balanced diet is not judged on one meal alone. My 3 year old rarely has more than a cup of oat milk and maybe some pine nuts for breakfast but she eats a lot more throughout the day.

Oh sorry for myself

been struggling with stress/anxiety and been struggling a bit with food

never used to eat breakfast
bit olive found it helps calm the sickness feeling a bit

but it’s trying to find things that are quick and easy that I can get down

it's a good mix of nutrients.
so yes.

if that is what you can tolerate go for it. possibly swap to full fat milk.

I think it's fine as long as you are not leading a very active lifestyle. I am just having a strong coffee and an apple ... I know I eat far too much and have to force myself to eat less.

I'd say it's a perfect breakfast. I sometimes have a banana and a handful of cashew nuts. With a decaf flat white that's more than enough for me.

In that context OP it sounds like a great option 🙂

I think it’s fine and easy to eat. I have a banana mashed up in porridge and a glass of milk.

I agree.

In the circumstances you mention, it sounds fine.

You could ramp it up by making some overnight oats - one batch will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge and then spoon out a portion and slice a banana on top. Or sometimes I smear almond butter on my banana which is both yummy and brings some extra nutrients.

I would make sure it's full fat milk. Also maybe take an omega oil or fish oil supplement with it. Plus some nuts?
