A nice warm and healthy way to start your day!

Oat bran really doesn't photograph well, but Ripley is pretty darn cute so I decided to show a photo of her sharing breakfast with me.  Join Ripley and other food blogger pets at the Food Bloggy Pets of the Month  roundup hosted by Peanut Butter Etouffee.  Look for the roundup to be posted this Friday, March 7th. 

We all know the importance of breakfast and this wholesome meal can be prepared in less then 5 minutes.  The warm heartiness of the oat bran is flavored by soy yogurt and your fruit of choice resulting in a delicious warm meal that is under 300 calories. 

Simply place 2/3 cups of water and a pinch of salt in a small sauce pan and bring the water to a boil.  Stir in 1/3 cup oat bran, reduce heat to the lowest simmer and let cook for about 2 minutes.  Stir in 1/2 container soy yogurt, just until heated through and fold in a piece of diced fruit.  Delicious with many variances!
