What you need to make this recipe
First, let’s go over the three simple ingredients you will need to make this recipe and how they can benefit your overall health.
- Chickpeas: Chickpeas are a great carbohydrate source for people with PCOS due to their fiber content and low glycemic index. There is evidence that chickpeas have a positive effect on blood glucose stabilization. With approximately 6 grams of protein per 1/2 cup, they are also an excellent source of plant-based protein.
- Olive oil: The healthy fats in olive oil may reduce inflammation markers such as C-Reactive Protein, which is elevated in those with PCOS. Additionally, it is loaded with antioxidants, vitamin E, and vitamin K.
- Ranch seasoning: Ranch seasoning, while not providing nutritional benefits, does nourish the body in another way. By seasoning recipes, you can enhance their flavor, making them more enjoyable to eat.
Other ways to make this recipe
Recipes can always be tweaked to suit your preferences! You can try the following alternative ingredients:
