If i don’t want to be late to class then I have to keep this post quick, just like my morning workout.

I started my day with a speedy trip the gym.  I didn’t have much time, so I decided to work on my quickest mile.  1.5miles in 12:40, booyah!  I did a few minutes each of warm up, cool down, and stretching, and then I was outta there.  I can do longer workouts on the weekends when I don’t have to choose between the treadmill and breakfast.  Today I was on the clock.

Plus, I knew this breakfast was going to be a good one –

Banana Breakfast Risotto

• 1 cup canned light coconut milk
• 2 cups water
• 1.5 Tbsp butter substitute
• 2 medium bananas, chopped into bite-sized pieces
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 cup arborio rice

1. In a small saucepan, combine coconut milk and water and heat to boiling.  Reduce heat to low and cover the pan.
2. Melt butter substitute in a large pan over medium heat.
3. Add bananas and saute until they turn a deepened yellow color.  Season with salt.
4. Add rice to the pan and toast, 1 minute.
5. Add approximately 1/2 cup of the liquid mixture to your pan.  The liquid needs to be at a low simmer, so lower or raise your heat accordingly.  Stirring constantly, cook until all of the liquid is absorbed.
6. Working in 1/3 cup increments and continuing to stir, add the rest of your liquid to the pan until it has all been absorbed.

This bowl was so good.  Super chewy, and nutty, and just a bit sweet; swoon!

When do you work out the longest, during the work-week or on the weekends?
