PCOS Friendly Chili Powder Blend
Making your own spice blends is one of the smartest moves you can make when you're being intentional about what goes into your food. Store-bought chili powders often sneak in anti-caking agents, fillers, or added sugars — none of which you need, and all of which can quietly work against your goals. This blend keeps it clean and purposeful, leaning on ancho chile powder, cumin, and smoked paprika for deep, smoky flavor without any of the mystery ingredients. Cumin and coriander in particular have been studied for their potential to support blood sugar balance, which makes this more than just a flavor win. A pinch of cayenne adds gentle heat that keeps things interesting, while garlic and onion powder round out the savory backbone. Whisk it together in minutes, jar it up, and you've got a pantry staple that's ready to go for soups, roasted veggies, proteins, or anything else that needs a bold, warming kick.
