FLAX OATMEAL

Steps:

• Mix first 5 ingredients in a microwave safe bowl.
• Microwave on high for 2 minutes
• Stir oatmeal, and add flaxseed (it will thicken the oatmeal so don't worry if the mixture seems thin at first!)
• Top with optional Splenda packets. I also top mine with more sliced banana & low carb vanilla yogurt. Raisins or nuts would be good, too!
