My variation on Elana's Squash pie recipe with extra protein. This can be made with or without a crust, but I encourage you to make your own crust vs. the storebought junk.
Ingredients
  • 2 medium butternut squash, cut in half, seeded
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil (Or butter)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 scoop of your favorite protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. Slice open the squash, de-seed and cook face-side down at 350f for 40-60 minutes, until soft
  2. Scoop out all flesh, discard skin
  3. (Alternatively, use precut squash cubes from Costco (seasonal))
  4. Put everything into the food processor and blend until nice and smooth. See pictures for details.
  5. Place in about a 9-inch greased tart pan or glass bowl
  6. Bake at 350f for about 40-50 minutes. See pictures.
Notes
You can use any protein powder you'd like, but try to match flavors and carbohydrate content for your diet. Don't use a fruity protein flavor with this, obviously.
