Morning Goop

There are several things I couldn't imagine life without. Two of these things are natural peanut butter and bananas. Each are delightful in their own right and equally delightful when used in delicious combination. I often make banana peanut butter smoothies (recipe to come at a later date) and sometimes I mix the two into hot oatmeal. One day while shopping at in the natural food section of my grocery store, I came across this box of cereal:

I believe it was in the gluten free section. It's an all natural toasted rice cereal (kind of like rice krispies with more of a crunch). It even promises to stay crunchy in milk! Anyways, I'm always looking for new breakfast options and for some reason I got this idea to melt some peanut butter in a saucepan (added a little soymilk to help it along) and stir in mashed banana and a squirt of agave syrup. Once it was all mixed and of a pretty even consistency I took it off the heat.

I think I stirred in about 1/2 cup of Nutty Rice cereal so that it's all coated. I plopped in in a bowl and ate it up. It almost seemed like if I were to let it cool of and put in the fridge, it would be like a pb rice krispie treat (albeit a much healthier version).
