18.9 grams of sugar!! Sheesh
It is the total amount of carbs that is important when you are looking at the nutritional values. The recommended amount of carbs per meal is 45-60g and for a snack 15-30g (https://www.diabetescarecommunity.ca/diet-and-fitness-articles/diabetes-diet-articles/carbohydrates/carbs-for-people-with-diabetes/). The amount of sugar includes the naturally occurring sugar in the yogurt and the berries as well as any added sugar. The protein from the Greek yogurt slows digestion making the sugar less impactful on blood glucose.

Terrific recipe!
Hello,
The serving size says 1 square. This equals about 200 calories. What are the dimensions for one square?
Thank you,
If you are using an 8×8 inch square pan, then one square would be 4 inches x 4 inches.
