Kickstart your day

This isn't really a recipe, but here goes.

Usually I eat some oats with milk in my mornings. Anyone who eats oats would know that would make it tasteless.
Anyway I wanted to season it up a little bit, so I looked for a banana and it turns out I'm out. I looked for honey, and I was out as well.
What I found was dates. And I'm so glad I did.

This is now my perfect meal if I'm going to have a tough day

Low fat Milk + oats + some nuts (I know, right?) + 3 dates

Milk provides some protein - 250ml
Oats for complex carbs - 50 to 60g
Nuts for healthy fat & little protein - 25g (based on almonds)
Dates for good sugar carbs (Low GI) - 3 small dates

without the dates it'd be tasteless. Add the 3 small dates and you'll have some really delicious meal. Google sukari dates (I dunno if its available in the US but any type of sweet date will do)

Macros: 76 carbs (17 sugars), 20 fat, 24 protein. Total cals: 548 calories

Takes a minute to make, you won't regret it.
