A typical breakfast for us: eggs (two for Mr, one for me), a generous cup of fresh berries or melon, rye bread or a TJ potato hash patty, some yogurt, and coffee with milk (always 2% for me, no more no less :laughing:).

My new workday breakfast is one egg cooked with lots of veggies and 2 small keto friendly tortillas to put my egg and veggies in so I can eat with hot sauce like a taco. I always have a large mug of tea with a splash of cream with breakfast. I don’t like sweets for breakfast so no berries for or melon for me.

I don’t recall anyone mentioning this upstream, but is anyone else experiencing a blueberry shortage?

One upscale market near me had them at like $12.99/container, but I ain’t paying that. The markets just don’t have them at all.

Wow. :flushed: Just got a carton at our local Costco… they had piles of both organic and “inorganic” to choose from!

Ha no… on a low fiber, pre-colonoscopy diet this week. Most fruit is not allowed. (Happily bananas are allowed.)

Maybe try frozen blueberries. I throw them right into my cereal/milk.

Which reminds me… my VERY favorite cereal (not allowed this week) is Fiber One Original. Around here most stores seem to not carry it OR be out of stock. A 2/3c serving has 18g fiber, only 90 calories, zero sugar. I eat it for breakfast 3 times a week, with milk and fruit (berries or bananas)…. sometime with some chopped walnuts too .

Plenty here priced normally.

FWIW, except when they are in season locally (July) I usually just buy frozen, rather than fresh. Same with raspberries.

I typically buy our blueberries at TJ’s and have definitely noticed a drop in supply over past couple of weeks.

Definitely having a hard time finding fresh blueberries( California)

H loves Fiber One Original, but I’ve not been able to find it anywhere. Local store had it and I bought three. They had four, didn’t want to buy 'em out :wink:

Bought blueberries at Costco yesterday. They are big and firm. Good flavor.

We usually buy at Costco unless they are in season here. Otherwise blueberries are pretty tasteless imo

I like my blueberries cooked better than raw so frozen is not a problem for me. I like the small wild ones best. However since my husband’s favorite fruit is blueberries and he does the Costco runs, I don’t have any idea what he’s paying for them!

Another Costco blueberry buyer. I need them to be be bigger and firm and they almost always are!

So many blueberry fans. I like them a lot. But I like raspberries and blackberries even better. In winter I often use frozen ones.

Has anybody tried this? Might try it (with sugar instead of Splenda)

Yea, I’ve made that mug dessert. It’s pretty good when you have a taste for chocolate. I use monkfruit sweetener.
