Nutritionist notes: The sugars in this recipe come from fruit so they are perfectly healthy to eat. Also, we used celery seeds to give this classic recipe the same great taste and to allow the small serving size to contain more protein since actual celery is extremely low in protein. Remember that eating your protein first is always recommended!
