Snowball Oatmeal

So, I’m working on a post about the madness of my last few days teaching at DSW, but before that I thought I’d provide this quick update on my breakfast this morning - Snowball Oatmeal. After a wonderful but super-filling supper of ribs and potato salad last night I did not have a bed snack and was really hungry when I got up this morning. However, all I wanted was cookies. Experience has showed me that this is not a good idea, so I worked on making a substitute.
Most mornings I have “Banana Bread Oatmeal” which is plain oatmeal with a third of a mushed up banana, a little cinnamon, and sometimes some nuts. Don’t worry. I don’t mush the whole banana and then only eat a third. I break off a part to mush and eat the rest with peanut butter later in the day. Left over banana mush crisis averted.
Anyway, this morning I had “Snowball Oatmeal” which was plain oatmeal made with soy milk, a half a spoonful of cocoa powder, a little bit of banana mush for sweetness, and a sprinkle of coconut. It was pretty much the greatest idea I had all week and not that unhealthy. I hope it inspires someone else’s oatmeal creativity!
