During my free 30-Day PCOS Diet Challenge I share recipes and meal plans to cover your three main meals. This is because your main meals are the cornerstones of a PCOS-friendly diet, but it’s pretty easy to argue that a few more “fun” recipes are just as essential. We’re supposed to be adapting to a long-term lifestyle after all, and not just participating in a quick-fix diet fad.
Well, this new Berry Delight recipe definitely fits in the fun camp. Unlike a lot of your typical desserts, this PCOS recipe is actually fairly nutrient-dense. And while each serving contains about 2 tsp of glucose-based sweetener (which makes it taste nice and sweet), when served with whipped coconut cream (which is high in fat), the glycemic load will be much better than similar, sugary alternatives.
Here’s everything you’ll need to make this Berry Delight PCOS dessert:
- Eggs
- Almond flour
- Tapioca flour
- Coconut flour
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Almond milk
- Rice malt syrup
- Coconut oil
- Apple cider vinegar
- Vanilla extract
- Fresh berries
Keep in mind that consuming something like this earlier in the day, and immediately after a good, hearty, PCOS-friendly main-meal will also help to control your blood glucose levels.
Of course, if you have insulin resistance, you’ll want to be cautious with any dessert-like recipe, but you’ve also gotta live right?
Trust your good judgment, and I hope you enjoy this new recipe!
