  4. Peel and core one medium apple (about 200g). Chop into chunks.
  5. Scoop the cooked acorn squash flesh from the skin (approximately 1 cup).
  6. Combine the apple chunks, acorn squash, 1/2 cup apple juice, and 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger in a high-speed blender.
  7. Blend until completely smooth, adding a few ice cubes if needed for a colder consistency.
  8. Pour into a cup or sippy cup and serve immediately. Enjoy!
