Ingredient Highlight
Brussel Sprouts: Brussels sprouts are low in calories but high in fiber, vitamins and minerals. Their high fiber content helps support regularity and gut health. Brussels sprouts also contain alpha-lipoic acid, an antioxidant that’s been researched extensively for its potential effects on blood sugar and insulin. Insulin is a hormone that’s responsible for transporting sugar from your blood to your cells to keep your blood sugar levels under control.
