Hi Nicole and thanks for your comment. You are correct in saying that as a part of a Lean and Green program, sugar and fruits are not “allowed.” This is because of their high sugar (carb) content that can throw off the program when eaten in usual serving sizes. However, in the case of this recipe, fruit is used in a scant amount, and the total serving size works out mathematically to be OK as an approved condiment. Condiments need to have less than 1 gram of carbohydrate per serving and you may have up to 3 of them per day. Here, the Tablespoon of dressing meets that parameter. The same is said for our Cinnamon Chipotle seasoning which as brown sugar- the serving size falls WAY under the carb count making it ok as a condiment. I hope this answers your question and if you have any further, feel free to ask! Cheers and Happy Cooking- Stacey
Hi. I am looking at spices and recipes and wondering how optavia compliant when ingredients include fruit, brown sugar, etc? According to optavia 5&1 guide these items not allowed??
