It’s finally starting to feel like fall and we could not be more excited to share this autumnal recipe with you! When the weather starts to get cooler, it can be hard to find salads and veggie-based dishes that feel warming and filling. That’s where this recipe comes in! Full of roasted root veggies, it’s hearty enough to keep you going all day long.
However, the real star of this dish is the delicata squash! Delicata squash is high in fiber, which can help normalize bowel movements and lower bad cholesterol. It’s also high in vitamin A, which helps eye health, and immunity-boosting vitamin C. We do keep winter squashes off our plates during the cleanse, but this is a dish to enjoy while living your 80:20 lifestyle.
Our 80:20 program is how we maintain our vibrancy whenever we’re not cleansing. Join today for more delicious recipes like this, plus more exclusive content and access to a community of other health-focused individuals.
