Low-Cal Delicious Brussels Sprouts!

My Favorite ingredient of the moment is Brussels Sprouts!

This delicious veggie (a member of the cruciferous family- cabbage, kale, broccoli...) is known for it's high protein content (2 g per 1/2 cup steamed) as well as it's cancer-fighting qualities such as high fiber content which helps with elimination and therefore may help prevent colon cancer.

If that's not enough to convince you to try out this delicious vegetable then consider this: 1/2 cup steamed Brussels Sprouts is only 30 calories! And as a cruciferous veggie, Brussels Sprouts aid in liver detoxification, therefore helping to eliminate free-radicals from your body!
