I can't use any of the recipes until I can see the fat/fiber/carbs/protein.
It is a little work but you can get these counts by entering the recipe into a couple of online programs, try "gourmet" recipe storage program (you'd need to google and download it, or nutritiondata.com, this is probably the easier choice and other health sites like the Mayo clinic have recipe nutrition calculators.
I would llike to know the calorie, fat, protein, carb counts, etc. for this recipe, too.
I would also like the answer to Angeljack's question (1-1). Gwendoliny
I LOVE this recipe and have used in many times. My question is: what are the calorie , fat, protein, carb counts in this recipe per 1/4 cup serving. I put it on my yogurt all the time and am watching these counts to lose a few pounds.
