Warm Your Soul with Spinach-Stuffed Acorn Squash

0 · Oct 22, 2020 ·

Spinach-Stuffed Acorn SquashWho doesn’t love acorn squash, especially when it’s full of tantalizing ingredients including ginger, cinnamon and yummy veggies?

This spinach-stuffed acorn squash recipe is the perfect cold season meal to thaw your bones, nourish your soul, and push those pesky toxins out of your system. And you can totally put in on your Thanksgiving menu, too. It’s stuffed with a rock star ingredient, spinach, which contains loads of fiber to help you release toxin-filled waste; flavonoids, which are warriors when it comes to cancer fighting; and antioxidants including selenium, zinc, magnesium and vitamins E and C.

Spinach-Stuffed Acorn Squash

It also contains ginger and garlic. Ginger is fantastic for nutrient absorption, helping your cells get the vitamins and minerals they need. Even more, the garlic we used in this recipe will fight colds and the flu by boosting your immunity.

Let’s not forget about the big daddy of the recipe–the acorn squash. Acorn squash is wonderful in the cold months and like garlic, it boosts your immune system. It’s also a great choice for healthy carbohydrates, and its vitamins and minerals will make your cells smile (figuratively, of course). Acorn squash also has loads of potassium, which gives the heart a hand, so it doesn’t have to work so hard. and thereby lowers blood pressure.
