Helpful hints
- Alter the sugar or Splenda to your taste.
- If Splenda or other sugar replacement is substituted for sugar the carbohydrate is 16 grams per serving which equals one Carbohydrate Choice.
- Look for canned cherries in juice or light syrup to make this an even easier recipe.
- This is an excellent light lunch for those who have no taste for meat, fish, poultry, etc. To increase the protein content add protein powder as advised by your renal dietitian. Two scoops of ProSource® or ProCel® protein powder are excellent additions.Â
