Roasty Toasty Coconut Ginger Squash Porridge

Healthy porridge made with fresh roasted butternut squash, gently scooped and surrounded with fresh cashew milk, toasted coconut and ginger chunks.

I usually go for savory breakfasts over sweet only because if I start the day with an overly sweet breakfast, I’ll be craving sugar all day long.

Roasted squash with eggs and greens is high on my list of favorite breakfasts (and I sneak in a quinoa cookie or two for good measure).

But then, this one day, I had a crazy idea of transforming my roasted squash into porridge by pouring in some freshly made cashew milk and adding a bit of nuts and seeds.

The result? A somewhat savory porridge that’s sweet but has no sweetener, or grains… very tricky to my taste buds ;)
