½ sliced banana (or strawberries, blueberries** or 2 chopped medjool dates)
1-2 Tbsp. chopped walnuts (or sliced almonds, chopped pecans, pumpkins seeds or sunflower seeds)

Notes

*If you are sensitive to gluten, be sure to use gluten-free oats and avoid using wheat germ.

**I often use frozen fruit – especially frozen blueberries. Warm in microwave or set the amount needed out the night before so it's thawed by morning.

Note: Nutrition information is a rough estimate for special dietary needs. I subscribe to the theories presented in the book Whole and believe we should focus on eating a variety of whole foods instead of counting calories or keeping track of individual nutrients.
