I love this recipe! I made it today and everyone enjoyed! I wondered about how many servings you would say this makes…maybe I missed it somewhere :) Thanks for sharing….
Hi Jessica!
So glad you like this recipe… I hope you’ve been able to find a VitaMix to borrow so you can make it on your trip! =)
This recipe makes about 32 ounces – which makes about 2-3 servings. I double it for our family of 5 and it makes 5-6 huge bowls!
Hope that helps!
Hugs!
