Nice to have the nutrition information provided, but it does not tell us if it is 1/4 of the first list of ingredients, or 1/4 of the second list of ingredients.
I would like to have the ans. to Reenans ques.
Thanks for asking!
As the serving size is the same for each, the nutritional information that you see for this recipe is the same, though we tested it using the ingredients listed with enough to make four servings.
Hope that helped!
