It’s slightly nutty and slightly chewy-in a good way! I made a small batch to refrigerate for future meals but took a little out for today’s lunch. I added olive oil, pink Himalayan salt, walnuts & tomatoes. There is 17 grams of protein per 1/4 cup, I used about 1/2 cup, and the walnuts have 5 grams of protein per 1/4 cup, I used about an 1/8 cup.
