STRAWBERRY BANANA BOWL

Thursday Morning
It's been a couple of weeks since I have looked forward to the weekend (since every day was like a weekend!) but now with it being Thursday the familiar feeling is back like an old friend :)

Woke up actually really, genuinely hungry for breakfast for the first time in awhile! Suppose that's what happens when you actually eat lightly like you should in the evening :P
This mornings creation? Coconut Strawberry Banana Oats!

In the pot on medium heat:
- 1/3 C rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (had to use regular since I haven't been to Whole Foods to pick up almond milk... :/)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 sliced ripe banana (that gets whipped in during vigorous stirring)
- dash of salt

While that cooked I cut the stems out of some ripe strawberries
Then put them in a pan over some heat. Nothing is necessary to cook them in- they secrete their own juices and become warm and lovely and gooey! (Might want to deglaze your pan after though!)
 At the end of cooking I stirred into the oats the following:
-cinnamon
-vanilla
-coconut butter
-other half of banana
-strawberries
Topped with a baby spoon size of Justin's chocolate hazelnut butter (been too long!!) to be stirred in after photography...
Plus a baby spoon size on the side for a bit with each bite!

 Breakfast was delightful! Feels as though I am really home now :)
 30 minutes on the gazelle- check!
