Oatmeal Mixture that Willie has for Breakfast Every Morning

I've been getting email from good folks wanting to know more about that oatmeal mixture that I have for breakfast every morning.

Here it is:

I use 1 heaping cup of quick oats straight from the box, uncooked. (quick oats are the same thing as old fashioned oats, they're just sliced thinner so they cook quicker).  I prefer the quick oats because I get a smoother texture.

6 ice cubes (from my refrigerator's ice maker. They're actually not cubes, but those skinny ones).

Approximately 2 tablespoons of sugar.

1 banana

milk (whichever kind you prefer. I use 2%)

Blend for 1 - 2 minutes and pour over your favorite cereal (I prefer bran flakes).

Enjoy!
Willie
