Health benefits of Gridiron Snack Mix

Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity.

Nonstick spray
2 tsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. each garlic powder and onion powder
3/4 tsp. salt
1 bag microwave popcorn

Heat oven to 350 °F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
Spread nuts on sheet; coat with nonstick spray. Mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and salt in small bowl. Sprinkle 1 tsp over nuts.
