Butternut Squash Smoothie Bowl

Some of fall’s finest produce comes together in this delicious, seasonal butternut squash smoothie bowl. Lightly spiced with cinnamon, ginger and cloves, it makes getting your fruit and veggies in almost effortless. We even added non-gmo protein powder to make this fruit and veggie blend unstoppable.

For smaller and less powerful blenders, chopping the vegetables into smaller chunks will help them to blend more easily. Out of butternut squash? Sweet potato makes an excellent substitute. Yes, you can use fresh or frozen butternut squash to make this smoothie, it’s delicious either way.
