Healthy Recipe for menopausal women

Oatmeal

2 cups old fashioned oats 1 ripe banana, pureed or chopped 4 cups skim milk, soy milk, and/or water 1 handful raisins

Mix oats and raisins with 2 cups cold liquid to prevent lumping. Add rest of liquid and bring to a boil. Add banana and raisins and stir frequently until you get a low boil. Cook 5 minutes and serve, or turn off heat as soon as cereal boils and let the grains sit to absorb the water. Store unused cereal in the refrigerator in an airtight container. For breakfast, add a little water to the amount you want and heat on stove or in microwave. Eat plain or with a little maple syrup or brown sugar.
