Choco Monkey Oatmeal


So I had some bananas that needed to be eaten so I made this recipe for breakfast. It was really good and I will be keeping this in my breakfast routine for a while! Don't worry, there are no mini apes in this oatmeal. Just some chocolatey banana b-fast action...

Ingredients
Serving Size: Entire Recipe (1 Serving)-185 Calories
1/3 cup regular oats (not instant)
1 25-calorie packet diet hot cocoa mix
1/2 medium-sized banana; mashed
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1 no-calorie sweetener packet (like Splenda)
dash salt

Pour cocoa mix into a glass with cinnamon, sweetener and salt. Add 1/4 cup of hot water, and stir thoroughly. Once cocoa mix has dissolved, add 1/4 cup of cold water and stir. Combine cocoa mixture with mashed banana and oats in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, and mix well. Microwave dish for 2 1/2 - 3 minutes (depending on how thick you like your oatmeal). Give it a stir, and then allow oatmeal to cool and thicken. Enjoy!

I ate mine with a toasted Light Thomas English muffin and a cup of chai tea!
