Health and fertility benefits of Yogurt, Honey and Walnut Parfaits

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

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 sheets phyllo, thawed if frozen
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
3 cups Greek-style plain yogurt (not nonfat)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup honey

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 ºF. Brush a rimmed baking sheet with melted butter. Lay a pastry sheet on top. Brush with more butter, then sprinkle with sugar and nuts.
