Please let me know brand which is best (value for money)
checked Amazon reviews but most of them seems to be autogenerated and not user reviews.

Choose desi brand!
Two sada / namkeen jeeraย paranthas, a dallop of ghee/butter on top and two cups of tea in the morning plus a glass of warm/cold milk with home made protein powder (almonds+cashews+walnuts+saunf+white khaskhas+roasted chana+mishri) just before leaving for office has been my breakfast for the last two years. Healthy and tasty and I don't feel the urge to eat before lunchtime!

๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: similar dry snack, dry foods for aged pets (especially dogs, cats) eventually wrongly affects their gut microbiota and overall health.
For the first hour after waking up ('fully kicking the bed' Type waking up) .. I usually avoid consuming anything, except maybe plain drinking water or lukewarm drinking water.. to flush out the nightly build-up in the stomach.
(18-20 years back, for three four days, had tried Morarji Cola. But did not quite fancy doing so on a continual basis. So stopped thereafter.)
Now, with age, always i always start the vehicle in first gear, aka small portions of fresh seasonal fruits or 4-5 soaked almonds, 3-4 walnuts or other dry fruits and if I feel up to it.. then some dairy.
Obviously I do have occasions of consuming even toast/bread or the packaged rusks type toasts or even the ๐ฎ๐ข๐ด๐ฌ๐ข-๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ข๐ข๐ณ๐ช that a relative often stocks in their snacks cabinet.
Bagrry's muesli (the plain version) too is consumed at times. The foreign brands and other jazzy variants from Bagrry too are somehow not that good or do not have the value (for the money spent).
The criminally mis-marketed ones with 'no added sugar'.. have ingredients which are purchased from vendors (by the manufacturers). So they do not add 'sugar', but they but materials with already sugar added.
And the sugar free substitute chemicals that some brands add.. are an avoidable risk for those with cardiac conditions or other issues.
I do not eat egg or meat, fish, non vegetarian fare.
But those who do, obviously have easy options in an egg ๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ถ๐ณ๐ซ๐ช, scrambled eggs or booked salted/peppered eggs.
Along with dairy of-course.
Wheat flakes is what I often consumed, when I was a teenager.
Unsure if it is my ๐๐บ๐๐บ๐/เคตเคนเคฎ or a reality but cornflakes seems to make the back of my palate feel dryish and sometimes bloated or gassy. (No, I do not have lactose intolerance. ๐๐ก๐จ๐ฌ๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ฅ๐๐๐ญ๐จ๐ฌ๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฌ๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ง ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ๐จ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐ก ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ/๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฌ.)
Raw/uncooked ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐-๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐๐ cottage-cheese ๐น๐ช๐ท๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ป or preparations made of it too are something I relish. Sautรฉed ๐ฑ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ณ and even sautรฉed potato dishes or ๐ฑ๐ข๐ณ๐ข๐ข๐ฏ๐ต๐ฉ๐ขs are another breakfast choices of mine.
When around vegan or (proper) Jains or vegan Jains.. the face expressions on both sides are similar to those of Dr. Veeru Sahastrabuddhe.. when Ranchodas Shamaldas Chanchad aced the first main examinations.
Vegan options too are aplenty though. And avoiding subsoil produce too is easy.
Besides readymade oatmeal breakfast.. when alone.. I often just chop and steam ๐ญ๐ข๐ถ๐ฌ๐ช (bottle gourd ) in a pressure pan. Then simply add tangy lime juice, rock salt, some freshly grounded black pepper and sometimes fresh coriander leaves.
Just good old ๐ญ๐ข๐ถ๐ฌ๐ช.
Of-course many traditional and seasonal (and regional) dishes are ๐ฃ๐ฆ-๐ซ๐ฐ๐ฅ (cannot be beaten/surpassed).
As a youngsters, i would confuse the Mehican tortilla, enchilada to be what we refer to as a childa/cheela.
But childa is a different thing altogether.
Pongal or Ben Pongal is similarly nutritious if 'moong' daal is used.
Plain sprouts: be it moong, peanuts or "moth"/ dew bean lentil too are good enough.
Poha, upma, nool puttu (idiyappam), dosa, idli, uttapa, santula type or kaali type เคเฅเคกเคพ/chiwda (the fruity version with a hint if sugar is amazing, albeit acquired taste), medu vada, sambhar/ghuguni, puttu (especially the one made from the red puttu rice), kafuli (again a rice accompaniment Garhwali dish), baadi (เคฌเคพเคกเฅ is again a pahadi dish), bajra roti with ghee and gud/ jaggery is another staple in regions like Rajasthan, thepla, dhokla are all mostly acceptable to even vegans and (proper) Jains too (if garlic, onion, potatoes, carrot et al are not there) and are all nutritious, healthy options with minimal or no frying involved.
Dhoklas though are not that easy to make for everyone, except sometimes with the readymix packaged kits. But those I would not call entirely homemade.
Not in breakfast, but often as the last meal of the day or to keep it light.. I have porridge/daliya in supper.

I have tried 2-3 flavours of Yogbar muesli. Stuck with Chocolate Cranberry one for the last 2 years.ย
