Fabulous taste and texture, not to mention the vibrant colour! Butternut squash has been said to help balance blood sugar levels as well as being absolutely full of the antioxidant, beta-carotene, which has been linked, in dietary intake, to reduced risk of breast cancer and stronger vision. Walnuts have high levels of Vitamin E, Omega 3's and liver supportive qualities.
