Health benefits of Lemon-Lime Meringue Sandwich Cookies

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1 packet fat and sugar free lemon pudding
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
juice of half a lime
2 cups warm water
1 1/2 oz egg white powder
