This appears to a great tasty recipe for breakfast. Being a diabetic I am concerned about carbs and portion control. How will the plant-based way of eating affect my daily numbers and AC1. Also I would like to see more recipes for one or two.
I have purchased a couple of Forks Over Knives Magazines. I see several recipes I like, but I am on a low sodium diet. Is there any where I can find the sodium count in these recipes? This would be very helpful.
Hi Vivian,
We’re glad you’re liking the recipes! All Forks Over Knives recipes are designed to be relatively low sodium. We generally follow nutritionist Jeff Novick’s guidance that the milligrams of sodium should not exceed the total calories in a dish. We’re working on including nutritional information with recipes on our website in the future, so please stay tuned!
Thanks! Would you mind putting a suggestion for a DIY taco seasoning? The store bought ones tend to have ingredients I don’t like
