Really great recipe, but how did you get your nutrition info? I did the calculations for my own use and got 270 calories/serving with this recipe. Is there something I’m missing?

Hi Julia! The nutrition info for the same product (rice or coconut milk powder) can vary from brand to brand.
Can I make the recipe and then dehydrate it at once like some others I’ve seen here? I have a dehydrator.
To rehydrate, I’ve always just boiled water and then let it soak for about 10-15 min. Never had any problems. Is there a reason, you “cook” it instead of soaking?
It’s totally ok to soak meals instead of cooking. We just want to get our food “now” 🙂
