Why this Sensational Strawberry Shortcake Recipe works for PCOS
Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Sensational Strawberry Shortcake Recipe works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
