Ingredients:
2 medium-sized butternut squash
3 ½ cups warm water
½ tablespoon salt
1 ½ tablespoons onion powder
½ tablespoon garlic powder
2 cups raw cashews (rinsed)
½ cup nutritional flake yeast
Directions:
Blend water, salt, seasonings, cashews, and yeast flakes until very smooth.
Wash, peel, & slice squash in circles or slice in “half-circles” at 1/4″ thickness. Boil for at least 5 minutes.
Drain water and put the squash in a baking pan.
Pour the blended mixture over the slices and bake at 350 degrees until golden brown, and serve.
Benefits:
Butternut squash has a glycemic index ranking of 51.
A cup of cubed butternut squash also provides 582 mg of potassium and a good amount of vitamin C.

Two of its several carotenoids, zeaxanthin and lutein, protect the eyes.
