Rhubarb is in season so this afternoon I treated myself to a stalk from the garden over oatmeal and it was delicious. Here is what I did:
.5 cup oatmeal prepared
1 stalk rhubarb sliced. (52 grams)
3 strawberries sliced (71 grams)
1/4 C splenda. (If you prefer sugar go for it, just reduce the amount)
1 dash cinnamon
Place 1 Tbsp water in sauce pan with all ingredients other than oatmeal. Cook on medium until fruit is tender. ..add small amount of water as needed to keep mix moist. This water will combine with the sweetner and fruit to make a lovely syrup. Spoon over prepared oatmeal. Tastes so much like rhubarb pie to me!
Mine was right around 200 calories. I ate it for lunch with a big glass of milk for added protein.
