Tired Of Broccoli, Try This!


Good Morning MELTer's, 

So recently I just got into eating brussel sprouts and other than  just knowing they are a green vegetable and low in calories I found out some other interesting and beneficial facts as well!

Brussel Sprouts are high in protein, a quarter of their calories. Loaded with vitamin A, folacin (which helps in weight management), potassium and calcium make a great way to get some of your daily minerals.


They have 3-5 grams of fiber per cup, and at 25 calories per 1/2 cup cooked, you will save on calories and feel more full because of the fiber!

Not only are brussel sprouts good for your the taste great too!

I saute them in coconut oil, garlic and a little black pepper which you can adjust to taste.

So if you are looking for a new veggie to eat with dinner, as a snack or to try I recommend brussel sprouts.

Let me know what you think on our Facebook page and if you have any good brussel sprout recipes share them with us as well!-cs

M.E.L.T. Fitness Studio Blog: Who Wants Some Chocolate Pudding??

Hey Everyone,


Want some chocolate, actually want some chocolate pudding? Of course who doesnt right?


I know,  I know, Craig you can't be serious right? I mean chocolate pudding how dare you tease us like that!


No tease, kind of.


Thanks to a friend of mine, I have an awesome recipe that should take care of that sweet tooth! Check it out below and give it a try. I know at first glance it may seem a little weird but trust me, I tried it and before i knew what it was I thought it was chocolate pudding.


Now you might have to play around with the ingredients to get it how you like and of course, everything in moderation, but this is a great alternative to the chocolate pudding we are all use to!

2 avocados
1/2 cup maple syrup
