Hi Ashlen. I really liked this recipe but wanted to know if you have a breakdown on the macros and calories per serving? Thanks.
Hi Mark, thanks so much for trying these out and I’m glad you like them! I prefer to focus on how foods make us feel (physically and mentally), so I don’t calculate or display the macros or calories for any of my recipes. If this is something that’s important for you, there are programs that can help offer this information 🙂
