Have you tried zoodles before? This recipe today is a similar concept – we’re turning a squash into a healthy dish of “noodles” – and you’re going to love them! 

Your kids will probably like them, too (what’s not to love about butternut squash, cinnamon, and butter, right?!).

These 21 Day Fix butternut squash noodles are going to rock your world – there are so many ways to dress them up. Add some veggies and a side of protein and dinner is served.

{updated: I’ve added Weight Watchers points at the bottom of this post!}

21 Day Fix Butternut Squash

You can now find pre-packaged butternut squash “noodles” in most larger grocery stores and they are absolutely perfect for those nights when you need to get dinner on the table quickly. All you need to make your own butternut squash noodles, though, is a spiralizer. They come in many shapes, sizes and price points.

The 21 Day Fix program is always changing, and while I do my very best and never want to mess up (perfectionist, yo) please always double check the container counts yourself…and that goes for all recipes, not just mine – I’ve seen some sketchy ones out there!

21 Day Fix container counts, per serving: 

  • 1 green
  • 3 tsp (if you only get 2 teaspoons, just reduce your olive oil and butter a teeny bit – or, take a smaller serving and adjust your green container count accordingly)

Weight Watchers SmartPoints: 5 points per serving, 18 per recipe (this is calculated using 4 servings)

I’ve only had zucchini noodles before (found them at my local SuperTarget) and they were good, but a bit watery for my tastes. Might have to give these a try though cause I do love butternut squash.

Butter is not listed as an ‘allowed food’ in my 21 day fix portion fix eating plan book. How can it be in the recipe, which btw, sounds delicious.
Thanks
