Time for a cozy Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Grapes and Walnuts recipe.

Changing Taste Buds

Were Brussels sprouts your least favorite vegetable growing up?

How about walnuts?

Neither were a huge favorite for me.

As a matter of fact, I never even had Brussels sprouts until I was in college.

And walnuts, especially those in desserts, made me gag – literally!

I mean, so many lovely desserts – completely wasted with the walnut inclusion. You hear me?!

Today I am so vastly different.

In fact, among many other things I consume frequently, I eat both Brussels sprouts and walnuts – very frequently.

I still don’t overly enjoy walnuts in desserts. There is something about a soft dessert mixed with a hard walnut that does not sit well with me.

However, THIS Chunky Monkey Nice Cream made with all things whole and milked walnuts is incredible!

Brussels Sprouts

Brussels Sprouts are loaded with Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Folate and Vitamin K, among many other things.

They contain about 60 calories per 1 cup and approximately 4g of both fiber and protein.

And Brussels sprouts are, of course, naturally gluten free.

They are not, however, very SIBO-friendly.

Walnuts

Walnuts are loaded with omega 3 fatty acids, manganese, and copper.

They contain about 163 calories per 1/4 cup, are low in carbohydrates and sugar and provide nearly 4g/protein and 2g/fiber.

Walnuts are a great anti-inflammatory and have been proven to help improve blood pressure.

Again, they are naturally gluten free. However, with walnuts keep in mind that many times when they are not in their “raw” state, they can contain gluten (with candy-like coats, seasonings, etc.) 

And they are SIBO-friendly.

Make sure to eat them raw, roast them yourself or check the packaging!

Combining Brussels sprouts, grapes and walnuts does seem like an unlikely combination, but you just wait!

When they are all roasted together, something magical is born.
