How do I add a recipe to a meal plan?

You add a recipe exactly like a food: with the search bar in the Plan step.

For example, say you want to add the recipe “Mashed sweet potato”:

1. Type the recipe’s name in Search food. In the table editor, the search bar is below the table; in the day-by-day editor, each meal has its own; in the flexible editor, each group has its own.
2. Find the recipe in the results.
3. Choose whether to add it in grams, ounces or servings (for example, 1 serving).
4. Click + to add it.

In the table editor, after step 4 click the meals where you want to place it, then Finish. If you want to adjust the recipe before placing it, use Edit recipe and finish: you can save the changes Only for this meal or As a new recipe.

The patient will see the recipe’s ingredients and instructions in their meal plan, both in the PDF and in their Almendra patient account.

Is your plan a free-text plan? There, recipes are linked differently: read How do I add recipes to a free-text meal plan?.
