5 servings
Calculated from measured ingredient weights and divided by 5 servings. Values are evidence-informed estimates rather than laboratory-tested results.
Estimated energy per serving
Calculated from all listed ingredients
Includes fiber and naturally occurring sugars
Includes saturated and unsaturated fat
Values are calculated before display rounding. Product labels, produce size, drained weight, cooking loss, and substitutions can change the final result.

How This Nutrition Estimate Was Prepared
- Every ingredient is assigned a specific gram weight instead of relying only on a cup, spoon, or item count.
- Standard unbranded food-composition values are aligned with the closest matching foods in USDA FoodData Central.
- Ingredient values are added for the full recipe, divided by the listed yield, and rounded only for display.
- Optional ingredients are excluded unless a measured amount is included in the base recipe.
Accuracy note: These numbers are credible estimates, not laboratory analysis. Weigh ingredients and calculate from the labels on the exact brands you use when precision is important.
