Coconut-Banana Oatmeal

Eating oatmeal for breakfast is one of my favorite things about waking up each morning (although Michael would disagree :P). To avoid getting bored with the stuff, I am always trying to come up with creative new combinations to maximize my oatmeal's flavor and nutrients. I just tried a new "coconut-banana" combination this morning, and it is absolutely delicious! Plus it's low in fat and void of any added/processed sugars - making it a healthy breakfast choice.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup dry oats (I use Full Circle Organic or Bob's Red Mill)
• 1/4-1/2 coconut milk, depending on how creamy you want it
• 2 ripe bananas, sliced into pieces 
• 2 squirts lemon juice
• 3 drops liquid stevia (optional)

Directions:

1. Cook oatmeal on stove-top according to instructions on your package. 
2. Transfer cooked oats to a bowl, and slowly pour coconut milk over the oatmeal. 
3. Add lemon juice and liquid stevia.
4. Stir to combine. 
5. Add sliced bananas. 
6. Enjoy!
