Health and fertility benefits of Red, White and Blueberry Ice Cream Pie with Granola Crust Recipe

One tbsp of honey has a glycemic index (GI) of 55. 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

2 cups granola without raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon honey
3 cups vanilla ice cream or low-fat vanilla frozen yogurt, softened if necessary

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °. Place granola and walnuts in a food processor; pulse until fine crumbs form. Add butter and honey; pulse just until blended. Press onto bottom and up sides of a greased 9-in. pie plate. Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Spread ice cream into prepared crust. Freeze, covered, at least 2 hours.
In a small saucepan, combine raspberry sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook, uncovered, 5-7 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, in another saucepan, repeat with blueberry sauce ingredients.
Press each sauce through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl; discard seeds. Cool completely.
Transfer sauces to separate heavy-duty resealable plastic bags; cut a small hole in corner of bag. Decorate pie as desired. Freeze, covered, until serving. Serve with any remaining raspberry and blueberry sauces.
