BREAKFAST !

Hello, I would like to check this with you.

Someone wrote:

1)I have for breakfast every day: milk and a toast

I would correct as follows but would like to know if the original is incorrect.

Every day I have for breakfast milk and a toast

2) I eat for breakfast: a toast and a white coffee

3) She gives me to drink an orange juice. Is it correct?

Thank you!

Try to use common sense as well: the toast is not covered with chocolate milk, is it? Order your sentences so that the reader can easily understand:
