This looks delicious! Do you have a calorie/nutrition breakdown for this recipe? Also, how do you store it (fridge/freezer?) and how long does it last while stored? I’m looking forward to trying this and probably making a whole bunch in the future!
Thank you! I’ve updated the recipe with the nutritional values. As you know, avocado doesn’t keep its brilliant green very long. I like to use it close to when I make it. However, I do often refrigerate it for small amounts of time. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap to help prevent air from changing its color!
