Rip's Big Bowl (Nut-free option)
"This has been my mainstay breakfast for more than twenty years. I never get sick of it and no two bowls are ever quite the same, depending on which fruits are in season and the milk substitute I have on hand. This was also a favorite recipe for most of the E2 Pilot Study participants. As a seven-year old daughter of one of the E2 participants said, 'I look forward to waking up in the morning just so I can have my Rip’s Bowl.' Let your appetite be your guide as to the size of your bowl." -Rip
