Cleanse Meal #2: Breakfast of Champs

One of the few things you can have for breakfast on the cleanse is oatmeal. Let me tell you, I love oatmeal but on day 3 I am ready for something a little different. Unfortunately our options are limited. I decided to take our cleanse oatmeal to another level this morning. Here is what I came up with:

Banana Bread Oatmeal
serves 3 or 4

1 1/2 cups steel cut oats
6 cups water
Dash salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
handful of toasted walnuts
a few generous tablespoons of pure maple syrup
vanilla almond milk (if desired)
1 banana, cut into little pieces

Bring water to a boil over stove. Add salt. While water is heating up, combine oats, cinnamon and ground ginger, mix until spices cover the oats. Add to water when it comes to a boil. Stir on high heat until oats start to come together, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Take off heat, add nutmeg. Dish out into serving bowls. Add a little almond milk, top with banana slices, nuts and maple syrup.
