- 1/2 cup baked squash blend (1 mini delicata squash and 2 honeynut squashes)
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon almond butter

Directions:

Then scoop out the insides and place into blender, discarding the skins.
2. Combine the remaining ingredients into the blender and blender on high until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
