Dinner: Hoisin Chicken with Miso Garlic Mash and Broccoli Bake
Grocery List: - Chicken breast - Hoisin sauce (GI: 35) - Garlic - Rice vinegar - Sesame oil - Cauliflower - White miso paste - Olive oil - Unsweetened almond milk - Broccoli - Almonds - Salt and pepper GI Information: - This meal features low-glycemic ingredients - Cauliflower mash substitutes high-GI potatoes - Balanced protein and healthy fats help stabilize blood sugar
This PCOS-friendly recipe combines lean protein, cruciferous vegetables, and healthy fats to support hormone balance and blood sugar regulation. The chicken provides essential protein for stable insulin levels, while cruciferous vegetables (broccoli and cauliflower) contain compounds that support estrogen metabolism. Miso offers beneficial probiotics for gut health, which is crucial for hormone balance. The meal's low glycemic load helps manage insulin resistance, a common PCOS concern. Healthy fats from olive oil, sesame oil, and almonds support hormone production and reduce inflammation. The dish is rich in chromium (supports insulin sensitivity), zinc (hormone balance), B vitamins (energy metabolism), and fiber (blood sugar control).
