4.4g net carbs (subtracting fiber)
(in the blog article, they claim only 8.4 grams of carbs - but the constant conversion that I have to do here in SparkPeople using the ingredients already posted in here do introduce a lot of error. For example - I can measure 5 tablespoon of unsweetened almond milk, but I don't have a 0.125 cup measure, etc. etc. I have no control over alternative measures for the same products that others enter. If a product package says a serving is one cup, many times I will re-enter that same product again, but phrase it as a serving is 8 oz or a serving is 16 tbsp, just because of the insanity that we have with the present system.
