This Butternut Squash Spinach Breakfast Bake was originally published November 2014. WOW! An oldie, but goodie recipe I updated for you and reshot the photos. It’s just too delicious for you not to try.

Veggies for breakfast? Oh yes! Pizza for breakfast? Even better! 

Most of us have been brought up to believe it’s normal eating cereal, granola bars, smoothies, bagels and donuts for breakfast. While these things have a place in a healthy diet, the problem with eating these things first thing in the morning is it does not train your hormones insulin, leptin and ghrelin to burn it own fat as fuel.

If weight loss is your goal, this is very important. So how do we teach our bodies to burn fat? By eating a high protein, high vegetables breakfast in the morning.

Eating protein is shown in multiple studies to modulate blood sugar. That’s just a nerdy nutrition way of saying you’ll stay fuller longer and not be a hot mess with cravings mid-morning. And I have just the recipe for you today so you can start your day this way too!

Butternut Squash Spinach Breakfast Bake

You can’t go wrong with this egg bake. Made with roasted winter squash, spinach and spices that make it mysteriously delicious in a healthy way. A hearty way to start the day! 

The roasted squash is slightly sweet so you satisfy your craving for something sweet without sabotaging those important hormones that need to be regulated for fat loss while getting important nutrients. It’s a win win!
