Thank you!! Looks great! I’ll probably try adding ground flax or chia.
This recipe appears to be similar to a Cherry Pie Lara Bar, and while it is high in calories, I can still eat one on occasion, and I am a type 2 diabetic. I’m going to try this recipe.
It is high in sugars-cabs. Even though they are natural occurring. I will add some plant based protein powder, ground flaxseed and maybe some coconut or almond flour.
Thank you, Dr. Axe.
I divided the recipe into 16 servings and arrived at 153kcal, 4.8g fat, 26.5g carbs, 1.8g protein
How many carbs in one? I am diabetic.
This is very high in sugar. Also high in fat. No diabetic should be eating this.
Remember this is all natural ingredients with natural fiber. Real food is good for every body – moderation is key. Far better than fake sugars that are encouraged by the American Diabetic Association. Just sayin’
how many bites does this make?
My daughter is type 1 diabetic and has trouble with pancreatitis
No preservatives, great. But how many carbs does one of these have? I’m diabetic.
Could you share the nutritional facts please?
Where do you look for these ingredients ?
Is this low carb?
How much salt an cinnamon do you pour in there
