a stick to your bones, last until lunch breakfast

I don't have a photo of this one, because it's oatmeal. While it tastes good, it's like me - doesn't photograph well. Lots of times, I think people think that they don't have time to make breakfast and so they grab a bagel or a muffin. They taste good, but they are loaded with simple carbs, calories and in the case of muffins, sugar, and fat. Who wants to start their day like that. Try this quick way to have a healthy, whole food, delicious breakfast. Start your day off with a stick to your bones, last until lunch breakfast.

Tropical Oatmeal Recipe
1/2 cup quick oats
1/2 banana
1/4 c. sweetened coconut
3/4 c. water
1/4 c. skim milk (or soy milk)

In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Watch the microwave so that it doesn't boil over. Let stand 3 minutes. Add more liquid if too thick. Eat immediately.

Modification: Old fashioned (also called rolled oats) are less processed and I usually prefer to use them. However, they need to cook a little bit longer. If you use rolled oats, microwave on 50% for 4 minutes. Use a bigger bowl so that the oats have room to expand.
