I often find this with Diet Doctor recipes
Yes, this is 1 serving or 1 meal for 1 person. Different people have different hunger levels and appetites. Some people feel that the servings are on the smaller side, while others feel they are more than generous. Feel free to adapt the recipes to suit your preferences as needed.
Hi, Maddison! The edamame alone provides 17g protein. The rest comes from the additional ingredients. You can certainly split this into more than one serving if needed.
