    Sound yummy. You just mention powdered sweetener. What “sweetener” did you use? It could make the difference of taste, calories, carbs, etc. For instance, monk fruit, coconut sugar, or some other sweeteners still have carbs, Just different amounts of carbs, effecting the bolus carb count.
    Thanks!
