Frozen Butternut Squash

Butternut squash (Cucurbita moschata) is a type of winter squash that grows on a vine. It has tan-yellow skin and orange fleshy pulp with a compartment of seeds in the blossom end. When ripe, it turns increasingly deep orange in color and the flavor becomes sweeter and richer. It is a great source of fiber, vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium. Did we mention it is a great source of vitamin A as well? Frozen butternut squash is truly a store-bought meal prep shortcut for everyone. Add it to your grain salads before storing and it will thaw in time for tomorrow’s lunch. Sweet and absolutely packed with flavor and fiber. You can roast it, purée it into soups, blend it into smoothies or add it to any kind of casserole under the sun.
