PCOS Chocolate Chip Cookies

When you’re making changes to manage your PCOS, you might feel upset with giving up your favorite comfort foods.

These foods are delicious, sweet and have an indulgent taste. Obviously you still want them! I would prefer to give individuals alternatives that they enjoy as opposed to feeling deprived.

Or, eventually you can even learn to be a taste eater (enjoying the taste of a few bites) vs. a quantity eater… but that’s a whole coaching topic!

Key Eating Strategies for PCOS

Don’t go into black or white thinking when it comes to your food. Women with PCOS are more likely to develop disordered eating patterns due to feeling that they need to cut out certain foods.

Just because you have PCOS, doesn’t mean you have to go into fear mode around PCOS.

As you shift your eating habits, you want to find something that is sustainable! So instead of restricting yourself, which is ultimately followed by a guilty binge, enjoy these delicious and healthy chocolate chip cookies on occasion!

PCOS Cookie Benefits

These cookies have health benefits to help you manage your PCOS.

Resistant starches

supports gut health and balance blood sugar. Gut health plays a major role in PCOS. In general, balancing blood sugar is also key to managing PCOS.

Low sugar content

the only sugar in this is completely natural and it’s a minimal amount. Instead, I use coconut oil and cacao nibs for a savory taste. This can be just as satisfying as sugar!

Fiber

resistant starches are a form of fiber. Fiber helps you feel full! So after just 1 or 2 of these, you’ll feel full and satisfied.
