You can look at butternut squash and know it’s going to give you a whole lotta nutrition! Brightly colored and easy to enjoy, this winter squash is high in Vitamin E, B vitamins, pantothenic acid, and has more potassium than a banana. All these support the energy system in your body. The addition of the bone broth boosts the protein level of the dish with added collagen (great for skin, tendons, and ligaments).
