I am absolutely obsessed with this recipe! The fall flavor combination and beautiful colors make me want it again and again. This bowl filled with complex carbs and tons of fiber to keep you feeling full. This a perfect healthy lunch that will make your coworkers jealous. You could even replace the butternut squash with any winter squash you have on hand. Winter squash includes butternut squash, acorn squash, kabocha squash and delicata squash. All types of winter squash are packed with vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B6, manganese and folate.
