I don’t care for bell peppers. Could I substitute in something like edamame, or would that throw off the protein balance too much?
Abbey Sharp says
HCC is all about flexibility! Bell peppers were added for fibre, but edamame is also a source of fibre. You could also pick another veggie like cucumbers, carrot, etc.
