Just made this (actually eating it right now)! I really appreciate the convenience of this recipe! Simple ingredients and preparation guarantees it a spot on my weekly roster of lunches/dinners. I only had nut milk in my fridge which gave it a nice nutty taste. Single serve measurements is also convenient for individuals who want to control their portions!
