    Butternut Squash Turmeric Smoothie

    Breakfast, Drinks

    Just because winter is rolling in, doesn’t mean you have to drop those refreshing smoothies. Winterize your smoothie arsenal with this Butternut Squash Turmeric Smoothie! 

    This powerhouse uses seasonal ingredients like the butternut squash and spices like ginger and turmeric. Ginger adds a great heat to the smoothie, which is perfect in the cooler weather. It adds a wonderful flavor that is both sweet and spicy. 

    Turmeric on the other hand has been studied as a powerful antioxidant. It gives this smoothie a beautiful yellow color. 

    Butternut squash is a fantastic source of vitamin A and vitamin C! It also contains many antioxidants. So, between the ginger, turmeric, and butternut squash, you’re pretty much equipped with all the superpowers you’ll ever need for the winter. 

    To make this smoothie, peel, chop and boil the butternut squash until tender. This should take about 20 minutes. Next, add the squash, banana, mango, ginger, turmeric, and nut milk into a blender and blend! Pour and enjoy as a breakfast on the go or as a refreshing reboot throughout the day.

    Have you ever tried squash in your smoothie? What are your favorite winter spices? Drop us a line and let us know what you think below!

      I made this and it was very delicious! Loved the ginger kick. I followed the recipe except I used 1% cows milk since that’s what I had on hand.

      I would really love to try this but I can’t find butternut squash to buy around me. What can I use as a substitute?

        Hey! You can also use boiled sweet potatoes (no skin!)

      I have spaghetti squash. Would this be an acceptable substitute?

        no! it’s not as creamy as butternut and the texture would be off

        Hi! We don’t list calories and nutrient breakdowns for a number of reasons, which we get into in this episode (https://foodheavenmadeeasy.com/should-you-count-calories/) We aim for balance and flavor with our recipes, and don’t promote tracking nutrients. It’s also really hard to get accurate calculations unless you’re using professional software. xo

      Love this recipe. I didn’t have squash on hand so I substituted sweet potatoes. I also added some cauliflower I had in the freezer to get an extra veggie serving in. Thank you for sharing!

    Last month when I asked who you wanted us to inter Last month when I asked who you wanted us to interview for our habits series, 90% of you said Gretchen Rubin. Today your wish comes true. For those not familiar with @gretchenrubin, she is one of today’s most influential and thought-provoking observers of happiness and human nature, especially as it pertains to habits.

    LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Vall LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Valley with 5 acres of land! (Even typing that makes me anxious lolol) All reno updates will be on @bohiohomes. I’ve been wanting a home close by to retreat into nature and considered a few locations but honestly, the racial tension and lack of diversity upstate gave me mixed feelings. I actually went to school in New Paltz (and love it SO MUCH) so I’m not sure why I didn’t consider buying here sooner. I took a trip this summer to go apple picking and was like wait, New Paltz is perfect! It’s welcoming, diverse (thanks to all the city kids and professors) and there’s so many fun things to do!! It’s also just 90 minutes away from the city. 

I’ve officially moved in and will be renovating this a-frame beauty built in the early 70’s. There is SO much work to do. The home has solid bones but needs major updates and I have to condition the land. We even have a cute pond! Very scary and very exciting. Eventually, I may open it up for retreats or for people who want to disconnect from the NYC chaos. For now, it’ll be home. Follow along for renovation updates on @bohiohomes 💕💕
    THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’ THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’s one thing you already do that you can build a habit around?! 

Ps have you been listening to our habits series
