By Spoon University at Spoon HQ

“Never skip breakfast”–yeah right. As college students, it can be difficult to find time for that first meal of the day, however it’s crucial for surviving those morning classes. This five minute oatmeal recipe is perfect for a filling, on-the-go breakfast fix. I use Trader Joes’ Ancient Super Seed and Grain Oatmeal, bananas, almond milk, raisins, chia seeds and coconut flakes to create a flavorful and nutritional breakfast that holds me over until lunch time.
