Health and fertility benefits of Cheddar-Nut Cheese Spread

Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity. Walnuts are low on the glycemic index. What’s more, they also lower the glycemic index of other foods that you eat in conjunction with these nuts. Any kind of nuts provide a healthy source of fat and a great way to encourage PCOS weight loss.

Ingredients

12 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese
1 brick light cream cheese (Neufchâtel)
2 tbsp. milk
2 oz. blue cheese
1/4 c. walnuts
Chopped parsley or pimiento

Instructions

Process half the Cheddar (1 1/2 cups), 1 chunk Neufchâtel and 1 tablespoon milk in a food processor until smooth. Scrape into a medium-size bowl. Repeat with remaining Cheddar, another chunk Neufchâtel, and remaining milk.
In a small bowl, mix remaining 2 chunks Neufchâtel, the blue cheese, and walnuts until blended.
