Coconut Kiwi Oatmeal

Adapted from The Oatmeal Artist

     I love kiwis, but I never really think to buy them. Yesterday, however, during my weekly Trader Joe's trip, I noticed a nice big bag of kiwis (I love how they sell nice big bags of produce there!), and decided to buy it. With all of this kiwi, I knew I had to incorporate it into my breakfast, so I searched my favorite blog, The Oatmeal Artist, and found this recipe. I love love LOVE coconut in any form, so I knew it would be perfect! :-)

Coconut Kiwi Oatmeal

Serves: 1

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup rolled or old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup water + 1/4 cup coconut milk 
• Splash of coconut milk
• My Seed Mix: 1/2 tsp flax + 1/2 tsp chia + 1/2 tsp hemp (optional)
• 2 kiwis (1 mashed, 1 sliced for topping)
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• Toppings: coconut, coconut butter, other toppings of choice (I mixed in some Ezekiel Granola) 

Make It!

1. In a small sauce pan, bring water and coconut milk to boil. Lower heat to medium and add oats, seed mix, and mashed kiwi. 
2. Once most of the water is absorbed, add lemon juice.
3. Let remaining liquid absorb, stirring occasionally. 
4. Once oatmeal is very thick, add a splash of coconut milk and stir.
5. Once oatmeal has reached desired consistency, transfer to a bowl. If too hot/thick, add additional splash of coconut milk. 
6. Add kiwi, coconut/coconut butter, and other desired toppings. 
7. Enjoy!
