Kale is an excellent source of calcium, which has an important role in egg maturation and follicle development in the ovaries. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to.

Ingredients

2 large kale leaves, inner stems removed
One 14-ounce can white beans, drained and rinsed (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from about 1/2 a lemon)
1 clove of garlic
3/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 to 3 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon Bragg Liquid Aminos or low-sodium soy sauce

Instructions

Add the kale leaves and about 2 tablespoons of water to a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Cover and steam for 2 minutes, or until kale is soft. Remove from the heat and drain any remaining water.
Add the kale and all the remaining ingredients except the water to a food processor or high-powered blender. Pulse until everything is combined then add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the hummus is a smooth, thick and spreadable consistency. Taste and add more salt if necessary.
