Oatmeal is a great way to start a day! I have it almost every morning, so to not get bored I add different toppings and vary the ingredients I put in, always healthy and always delicious! Greek yogurt goes fantastically with hot oats and makes it creamier, adds protein, and most important of all makes a standard bowl of oatmeal phenomenal! Sprinkle with some more cinnamon, if you desire.

Ingredients
½ cup rolled oats
½ banana, sliced
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (Optional)
1 pinch salt
1 cup water
¼ cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons strawberry jam
1 tablespoon peanut butter
Directions
Combine oats, banana, cinnamon, and salt in a microwave-safe bowl; add water and stir. Cook in microwave until water is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir to evenly distribute cinnamon; let stand until slightly cooled, about 3 minutes.
Spoon Greek yogurt, strawberry jam, and peanut butter over oatmeal; stir.
Cook’s Note
I always cook my oats in water, but you can cook them with milk if you prefer.
I sometimes use agave nectar to sweeten my oats, so anything goes. Or omit it altogether if you prefer it less sweet.
I use Fage 0% Greek yogurt and all-natural peanut butter.
