After a really hard crossfit workout, I need a filling warm meal that is fast. I usually eat this in the car while driving rather quickly to school. This is somewhat tropical because of the coconut, and could be taken to a total tropical experience by adding in dried, unsweetened pineapple or mango instead of the fresh blueberries. Experiment with your fruit add-ins to get the perfect post-workout spoonful.
Blueberry Coconut Oatmeal
1/2 cup Quaker Old Fashioned Oats
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/4 cup Unsweetened flaked coconut
Several shakes of cinnamon
2/3 - 3/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Coconut Milk, or your dairy free
beverage of choice
Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and microwave for 2.5 to 3 minutes. Depending on your brand and choice of liquid, you will need to play with the amount to get the consistency you like. I prefer a chewy oatmeal that absorbs all the liquid - easier to eat in the car without making a mess all over myself. Also, the blueberries will release some liquid, so changing the fruit you add will change the consistency. For some crunch, sprinkle some chopped, toasted almonds after microwaving.
