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.
