cinnamon butternut squash & pumpkin smoothie {v, gf}

This smoothie is perfect for when you need to take your brekkie or lunch to go, or if you're just getting bored of the usual green smoothie. It involves frozen cauliflower which is great for adding texture and volume to smoothies without adding extra sugar. Steam then freeze your own, or pick up a bag of frozen riced cauliflower. For this recipe I used leftover roasted cinnamon butternut squash, but you can definitely use frozen or canned puréed butternut squash {just make sure its pure butternut squash}.

Cinnamon Roasted Butternut Squash
3 cups roughly cubed and tossed with olive oil, 1 tbsp cinnamon, pinch of nutmeg, cardamom, and pink salt. Roasted on 350 for 45 minutes, or until soft and golden.
