- 1 1/2 cups chopped green bell pepper
- 1 1/2 cups chopped red bell pepper
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 links Spanish chorizo sausage, diced (about 6 1/2 ounces)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Instructions

PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe
This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.
Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
