I eat this with a large strawberry smoothie made with strawberries, frozen daiquiri mix and ice cubes in the blender. It's a great potassium booster that tastes sensational, too." -ANNE R.NUTRITION FACTS: High in magnesium, vitamins A and C and folic acid good source of fiber1 Serving: Calories 255 (Calories from Fat 70) Fat 8g (Saturated 4g) Cholesterol 75mg Sodium 330mg Potassium 530mg Carbohydrate 23g (Dietary Fiber 3g) Protein 26g % DAILY VALUE: Vitamin A 64% Vitamin C 72% Calcium 4% Iron 8% Folic Acid 18% Magnesium 18% DIET EXCHANGES: 1 1/2 Starch, 3 Very Lean Meat, 1 FatHelpful For These Side Effects: (n), (d)From "Betty Crocker's Living with Cancer Cookbook."
