Healthy Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Apart from being a delicious side dish that is Weight Watchers friendly, did you know that Brussels sprouts have many other health benefits?
- Brussel sprouts are high in fibre. In just half a cup of cooked sprouts, you will find 2 grams of fibre which makes up 8% of your daily fibre needs.
- They help you to maintain a healthy blood sugar level. This is also thanks to the high level of fibre in the sprouts which moves slowly through the body and slows the absorption of sugar into the blood.
- They are rich in various vitamins and nutrients such as Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Folate and Magnesium.
- Brussels sprouts are also known to be rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants assist to reduce your risk of chronic disease.
All in all, Brussel sprouts seem to be one of those foods that you should be adding to your diet. They are packed with a long list of health benefits (and I’ve only listed a few above), and they’re a quick, easy side dish or snack to prepare for yourself and the family.
If you follow this delicious Weight Watchers Brussel sprouts recipe of mine, you can also have peace of mind that you will be following a slimming recipe that is only 1 WW point per 6 sprouts eaten.
