Nutrition Tip of the Week:

Avocados are a great source of monounsaturated fats with only 5gm per serving. During the holiday season coming up, substitute avocado for up to half of the fat called for in your recipe (butter, oil). Not only will it create a rich, creamy texture, it's great for your skin too! Try this recipe for California Avocado Chocolate Mousse that I tried at the ADA Food & Nutrition Conference in San Diego this past September. Delicious!

 

Purely Pilates opened in 2003 and has moved to a brand new space in Wellington Square Retail Center. Our new address is 4825 EP True Parkway Suite 101, still in West Des Moines. The new studio is a large open room with six reformers, three stability chairs, a ladder barrel and Cadillac. We look forward to seeing you in our new location!
