Butternut Squash Salad
You may need to make another batch of this mid-week if you plan to have this as your lunch through-out the week. You can either decide to mix the salads and have both for lunch or just focus on one salad for one day and another for another.
1 butternut squash
1 tsp of olive oil
¼ tsp of cumin
¼ tsp of coriander
¼ tsp of cinnamon
¼ tsp of cayenne
6 cups of mixed leaf salad
1 cup of feta or vegan greek cheese
2 medjool dates
¼ cup of pomegranate seeds
METHOD
1) Preheat the oven to 200°c and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the butternut squash cubes on the sheet and drizzle with olive oil and pinches of sea salt and pepper. Toss to coat and spread evenly on the baking sheet. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, or until tender and browned around the edges.
2) In a small bowl, stir together the cumin, coriander, cinnamon and cayenne. Set aside.
3) Remove the butternut squash from the oven, let cool slightly, and, while warm, toss with the spice mixture.
4) Assemble the salad with the spring mix greens and half of the roasted squash. Drizzle with more olive oil, sea salt, lemon juice, feta, dates and pomegranates.

NUTRITION + MOVEMENT.
I want to enjoy the following schedule as much as possible and nothing should feel overwhelming or stressful, so with that in mind adjust the following schedule as needed so it works for you and your lifestyle!
However, some of the schedule has been create to help you feel your ultimate best such as water and lemon, smoothie and Barre class each morning. This sets a solid foundation for the day ahead and leaves you feeling happy, energised and proud of yourself, however if it’s not possible to fit all these things in each morning, please don’t worry!
You can practice the class whenever suits you but I would leave the brownie as an evening treat rather than having it after lunch and instead enjoy the energy balls after your lunch.
You’re more than welcome to get in touch if you have any questions or to share feedback - my e-mail is ceri@saib.yoga.
Enjoy and I’m already so proud of you!!
