Breakfast Healthy B's

Bonjourno!

I don't know about you, but I always seem to be confused when it comes to what fibre products I can have as a healthy B. Healthy A's seem so easy - pretty much anything diary such as cheese and milk can be classed, and it's always measured. But with B's, it seems as though some things need measuring, whereas some things are in slice or bar form. So, I've decided to write a list of things that I know are acceptable Healthy B's, and give some tips on how to stretch that all important daily fibre allowance. 
Because cereal is the general use for Healthy B's as well as bread, it's something that I normally have in the morning. So I've listed all of the bread, cereals and cereal bars that you can have for a tasty and quick breakfast, without using any syns.
Remember you can only have one Healthy B a day, so only choose one thing from the list to have each day.

Bread/Pittas/Wraps

In general, the rules for bread are as follows: bread must be either 2 slices from a 400g loaf, or a 60g bun. From a bigger loaf, only 1 slice can be used.

2 slices Wholemeal bread, any brand (small 400g loaf)
1 slice Allinson Wholemeal Batch Bread (800g sliced loaf)
2 slices Hovis Nimble Malted Wholegrain bread
2 slices Hovis Wholemeal bread (small 400g loaf)
1 slice Wholemeal bread, any brand (800g sliced loaf)
2 slices Warburton's Wholemeal bread (400g medium sliced loaf)
1 50g Weight Watchers Petit Pain roll
2 Marks & Spencer Mini Wholemeal Submarine Rolls
1 slice Hovis Wholemeal Bread (800g thick sliced loaf)
1 slice Warburtons Wholemeal Rye Bread (800g thick sliced loaf)
1 slice Hovis Seed Sensations Wholemeal Bread (800g sliced loaf)
1 slice Allinson High Fibre White Bread, 800g sliced loaf
1 Weight Watchers Wholemeal Pitta Bread, 6 Pack
1 slice Waitrose Love Life, Wholemeal Rye & Toasted Grain Bread, 400g sliced loaf
1 BFree Foods Multigrain Wrap Wheat & Gluten Free, 6 pack

Cereal Bars

Lighter bars, such as Alpen Light bars and Hi-Fi Lights are lower in syns so you can have two, but most of the time only one bar is allowed.

1 Weetabix Oaty Bar - Toffee Dazzler, Rainbow Smash'em and The Milk Chocolate
1 Hi-Fi bar, any variety
2 Aldi Harvest Morn Benefit 70 Cal Cereal Bars
2 Hi-Fi light bars, any variety
2 Alpen Light bars, any variety

1 Waitrose Love Life The Squashed Fruit Bar, 35g bar
1 Kellogg's Special K Chewy Delight Bar, Dark/Milk Chocolate

I hope this has helped some of you to have more choice in the morning, personally I love to mix up cereal with loads of fruit, or grab a couple of Alpen bars if I'm in a hurry. The cereal bars also add a quick sweet fix if you're craving something sugary,

Ciao!
