Squash as a substitute for fruit?

Yes squash will barely contain any of the nutrients that fruit will. It's the same as the juicing craze, you'll get more than squash, but not as much as if you just ate the fruit.
What fruit do you eat that's boring? Aldi have great biweekly offers on for fruit. I picked up a load of kiwi's the other day, 6 for 45p.

You can get all your required nutrients from veg rather than fruit. In fact they're better.
Bell peppers, chili peppers, kale, broccoli.
pretty sure they have barely any nutrients.
take vitamin/mineral supplements if your diet isn't too great

Fruit is pretty overrated, you can get all the vitamins and minerals from veg, without all the sugar, and for cheaper.

you talking about raw veg? cooking destroys a lot of the goodness...

Situational, depends on the cooking method as well as the veg in question, some actually become more bioavailable when cooked.

But most veg are edible raw any way.

and it's still better than fruit
