A one-cup serving of butternut squash contains 3 grams of fiber and up to an estimated 48% of the daily recommended intake for Vitamin C. Studies have shown that fruits and vegetables like butternut squash that provide nutrients like beta-carotene and vitamin C can boost immune function. In addition, apples contain pectin, which is a type of healthy prebiotic fiber that can support the boost of good gut bacteria in our kiddo’s microbiome.
