Even though cozy weather is upon us, I always find myself craving a good smoothie bowl! Being as this is a very summery dish, I wanted to create a bowl that would incorporate my favorite fall flavors. As well, Oikos recently came out with a new product: Morning Oats, Greek yogurt drink. It is the perfect product for a morning on the go or a slow one! As well, it contains 9g protein. It comes in 3 different flavors: field berries, oats and seeds; vanilla, apricots, oats and seeds; banana, oats and seeds.

Smoothie

• 2 apples cut in small pieces
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon of butter
• 4 dates
• 1 frozen banana
• 2 Morning Oats vanilla, apricots, oats & seeds
• 1/4 cup of quick oats
• A pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg

Toppings

• some of the apple compote created
• a spoonful of almond butter

• 1 banana

Preparation

1. Melt butter in a pan at medium heat.
2. Add the cut apples, maple syrup, nutmeg and cinnamon.
3. Let cook until apples are caramelized. Make sure you stir a couple of times so it doesn't stick.
4. In a blender, add all the ingredients and 3/4 of the apple mixture (rest will be used as a topping). For a creamier/frozen texture, you can add ice cubes as well.
5. In a bowl, add the smoothie and the toppings of your choice (e.g., almond butter, granola, cookies, banana....)
