    • Entire Recipe: (about 3 cups): 1 3/4 green containers, 1/2 purple container, 2 yellow containers. I give you this information so you can easily recalculate the containers if you swap out any ingredients in the recipe.
    • Per 3/4 cup serving: just under 1/2 of a green container, 1/2 yellow container. For the purple container, I don’t count it because the amount is slow low when divided into 4 servings.
