This vegan Butternut Squash Smoothie has been my go-to breakfast for about a month now. It’s nutrient-rich, tastes like fall, and keeps me full for hours. It wasn’t originally meant to go up on the website, but I liked it so much it became a no-brainer.
Butternut Squash Smoothie Ingredients
Frozen Butternut Squash Cubes: Guess what? These are pretty widely available in the frozen veggie of your grocery store now. In particular, I have seen them at Whole Foods and Target. You could also make your own using my frozen zucchini method.
Frozen Banana: Essential for a creamy and thick smoothie. I break my bananas in half and freeze ’em in a Ziplock. You could also slice them if you’re not as lazy as I am.
Milk of Choice: I would stick to a neutral milk such as oat, almond, or dairy. Coconut milk would probably overpower the other ingredients.
Applesauce: Brightens up the whole smoothie thanks to that tart apple flavor.
Rolled Oats: Really brings the cozy flavor and a bit of fiber, too.
Almond Butter: I just can’t stop with almond butter. It makes everything better.
Vanilla Extract: To bring out the depth of flavor in this smoothie.
Cinnamon: This is what really creates that fall flavor! Don’t be shy. More cinnamon is better, in my opinion.
Vanilla Protein Powder: My favorite for making a breakfast smoothie truly satiating.
Smoothie Tips & Tricks
- Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to be sure everything is well-blended (we do not like a chunky smoothie!).
- Be sure to blend longer than you think to make sure that the butternut squash and oats are really incorporated and no chunks remain.
