Quick Breakfast: Banana Cinnamon Oatmeal

Sometimes you don't have time to eat breakfast in the morning because of your busy schedule. I suggest that you take just 8 minutes of your busy morning (4 minutes to make, 4 minutes to eat) to make and eat oatmeal.



Oatmeal Facts
Oatmeal is a low-calorie food high in dietary fiber. This dietary fiber can help reduce cholesterol (heard that before right?). Well it is true. The dietary fiber becomes a slimy gel and sweeps all the chucks of cholesterol in the blood stream. The fiber can also help you feel full for a longer period of time because the fiber doesn't travel down as quickly through the digestive system. 
It also stabilizes your blood sugar so you won't crash and feel tired before lunch. As a bonus, it is very cheap compared to other cereals out there so you might even same some money. Yes, for those who don't even eat breakfast (which I don't recommend) can safe money by not feeling the need to eat quite as much for lunch and dinner.  


Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of oats
- 1/2 cup of water
