How long can this be refrigerated
I don’t see the point in doing research on healthy foods and then recommending ways to eat them that contain such highly inflammatory ingredients. I’m stunned by the amount of sugar and refined wheat flour in these recipes.
Um , I don’t see any refined sugars on the ingredients ?
