Keto Tortilla Chips - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Key PCOS-Friendly Ingredients: Olive oil is a key Mediterranean diet ingredient rich in polyphenols. Coconut is contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) for quick energy. Flaxseed is the richest plant source of ALA omega-3 fatty acids.
Healthy fats support hormone production and help your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins essential for reproductive health. Anti-inflammatory foods are especially important for PCOS, as chronic low-grade inflammation is a key driver of symptoms.
This recipe pairs well with a side of leafy greens or a simple mixed salad to add extra fiber and micronutrients to your snack.
