Notes
- Always make sure your superfood powder is from a certified gluten-free source. This is an easily hidden gluten catastrophe.
- Optional boost - Add ¼ cup of chopped Jicama in the first stage of this smoothie for a tasteless extra nutrient-dense boost
- Add ¼ water or more to a soup pot on high. One brought to a boil add the frozen butternut squash and cover with the lid. Turn the heat down to low and cook for 6-8 minutes. Strain and let cool. Then freeze in ½ cup baggies so you can freely add to your smoothies.
