Healthy Recipe: Cinnamon Roasted Butternut Squash

Okay, so maybe the 107ºF weather doesn’t have you thinking fall, but believe it or not, it’s almost here. Pumpkin always gets all of the attention when the cooler months start rolling around, but butternut squash is nothing to turn your back on.

Like pumpkin, the other orange squash is loaded with vitamin A in the form of beta carotene. It also contains more potassium per serving than a banana, the usual potassium go-to.

If you’re new to butternut squash or you’re just looking for something new (and super simple) to make at a moment’s notice, try this Cinnamon Roasted Butternut Squash recipe. It combines all the flavors of fall without any bad-for-you ingredients.

If you want to get really creative, you can even combine butternut squash with pumpkin. Talk about a crowd pleaser!

Awesome staff, courteous and clean. I’m down 40 lbs in one month. Prices for supplements are better than getting them from Amazon!

Love the new clinic, the space is beautiful and welcoming, and the staff was amazing! Alejandra took great care of me. She was very informative, made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process, and I honestly didn’t even feel my injection. Such a great experience, and I’m already looking forward to coming back!
