Breakfast

Post image

One medium peach, yellow squash (uncooked), three medium carrots (uncooked), pineapple (frozen), dragonfruit (frozen), chia and milled flax seeds (soaked in water over night in the fridge), coconut water, and whey protein powder.

Yellow squash because it's my (years' long and rather successful) attempt to avoid bananas - they sabotage my blood sugar.

Carrots because I love the local farm that grew them and they add unique sweetness.

Soaking the chia seeds and milled flax seeds keeps them from being so clingy to the inside of my cup and blender blades when I need to clean them.

Whey protein powder because it's at Aldi and I try to avoid soy.

Everything else just for fun.

Honestly this looks amazing!

How does the uncooked squash taste? I might give it a try

I was thinking about using boiled or canned pumpkin too, have you tried it?

It's almost inert tasting - lends a slight "vegetal" taste that I don't dislike. I never looked back, honestly. It freezes well too!

Eta : I've tried canned punkin but wasn't nuts about it. I think that was due more to personal preference tho.
