Butternut Squash, a type of winter squash, is so versatile that it has found its way into our smoothies. With its natural sweet and nutty flavor combined with the Essentials Shake and a cozy touch of spices, the result is a creamy and delicious winter smoothie.

This seasonal creation is incredibly comforting, making it easy to maintain your daily habit and will surely spice up your mornings! Get ready to embrace the harvest season with this satisfying treat.

This chai-spiced butternut squash smoothie is rich in protein, fiber, and healthy fats – a perfect way to kickstart your day with a subtly sweet taste from the banana (I personally prefer freezing slightly unripe bananas, which also serve as a prebiotic, great for gut health).

If you're roasting butternut squash for dinner, set aside a portion without seasoning, roast it as is, let it cool down, and freeze for your smoothie the next morning. The roasted squash lends a buttery and sweet texture, surprising you with its richness in this smoothie.

It's a fantastic and filling breakfast that keeps you energized all morning, not to mention the delightful pie-like taste.
