• ½ Cup of 5 Grain Rolled Cereal
• 1 Cup of Cashew Milk
• ¼ Cup Pumpkin Puree

• ½ Acorn Squash
• 3 tbsp Maple Syrup
• ½ tsp Cinnamon
• Pink Himalayan Salt

Instructions

2. Place acorn squash slices, maple syrup, cinnamon, & a pinch of pink Himalayan salt in a medium bowl. Mix.
3. Preheat oven to 350° & cook for 25 mins. Cook on one side for 15 mins & then 10 mins on the other side.
4. Add cereal, a pinch of salt, & homemade cashew milk to a small pot. Bring it to a boil.
5. Once brought to a boil, lower the heat to low & let simmer with the top on for 6-7 mins. Stir occasionally so the cereal doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.
6. Once it has developed a creamy consistency turn off the heat & let sit for 5 mins.
7. Add the pumpkin puree & mix.
8. Layer the acorn squash over your creamy hot pumpkin & 5 grain rolled cereal & splash a bit of homemade cashew milk on top. Adding flax seeds & crunchy peanut butter take it to the next level.
