"Oatmeal is such a good start for the day, but its not as attractive on a hot summer morning as it is in winter. This version is just like a chocolate shake, except it is as nutritious as a bowl of oatmeal while being cool and inviting for summer. If you don't care for banana, you can use a half cup of any fruit, or even canned pumpkin. It is adapted from a protein shake recipe from a website for runners, but you can leave out the protein powder and it is still delicious. Since protein powders usually are sweetened, you may want to add some type of sweetener to this if you decide not to use the protein powder. "
