This feature allows coaches to create customized recipes, including ingredient lists, cooking instructions, and nutritional information, to help their clients achieve their health and wellness goals.

The Pro or Studio plan allows you to create up to 20 custom recipes. You can explore the 'Custom Meal Plans' add-on to create more for your library.

Check out our video tutorial here.

Navigate to the Library tab on the left navigation menu, select Recipes, and click on the Create New Recipe button.

By default, it will use a random cover image. You can upload your own recipe image to replace it in the Create Recipe pop-up or change it later on the Recipe detail screen.

Adding a description is optional, but it can help your clients understand additional information about a recipe, beyond the basic ingredients and instructions.

You can select multiple options to categorize your recipe, including Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snack, Soup, Salad/Bowl or Others. For more information, refer to this article.

You need to input either the Prep Time or Cooking Time to publish the recipe.

The default number of servings is 1. You can add it up to match the portion size of your recipe.

Adding Dietary Information is optional, but it could help to provide your clients with important details about the nutritional composition and dietary considerations of the meal. For more information, refer to this article.

Clicking on the + Add Ingredients button opens the corresponding pop-up with a list of the system ingredients. In this pop-up, you can type the ingredient name to search or click on the ingredient category to quickly display all ingredients that belong to the category you want to focus on.

All selected ingredients will be displayed on the Ingredients list. You will need to add value for each of the added ingredients to publish the recipe, according to the ingredient unit which you can adjust.

Adding a YouTube/Vimeo instructions video is optional, but it could help to provide your clients with a visual demonstration of the cooking process.
​

You are required to input either the preparation instructions or the cooking instructions to publish the recipe. You can add the image for each of the steps to make it easier for your clients to follow along and successfully replicate the recipe.

You will need to add the basic macronutrients (Protein/Carbs/Fat) to your recipe. The other macronutrients (Saturated Fat, Sugar, Fiber...) are optional. Please notice that macronutrients are for only 1 serving.

After adding all the necessary information and data, you can save your recipe as a Draft. You will need to publish the recipe to assign it to your clients or add it to the Meal Plan.

After publishing the recipe, you can customize the ingredient unit view to your preference by selecting an option from the dropdown menu.

Once you choose your preferred unit, all the ingredient units in the list will automatically update accordingly. Additionally, the setting you select will be applied to all your recipes at once.

Please note that this change won’t affect your clients' view. They will still have the option to adjust the ingredient units on their end to suit their preferences as well.

On your Recipes Library, it will only show the published recipes by default, into All Published Recipes and Your Published Recipes categories.

If you want to see the draft recipes, you will need to click on the Show Draft button to enter the draft recipe list.

Navigate to the Client's Meal Plan screen, then click on the + Add Recipe button of each meal category (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) to open a corresponding pop-up to add the recipe.

You can click on each particular date on the left-side bar's calendar to select a different date to assign the recipe to the client.

Please see this article.

If there are meals assigned for today, your clients will see those recipes displayed on the Today's Meals section of the Today screen.

Clicking on a meal will navigate to the meal detail screen where your clients can see all the necessary information, detailed instructions, and macronutrients for the meal.

Your clients can navigate to the Coaching screen to see an overview of the meals assigned for this week.

Clicking on the container will navigate to the Meal Plan screen which shows all assigned meals for the week (default is this week), along with the meal categories and weekly nutrition averages.

Clicking on a day will navigate to the Day detail screen where the Daily Nutrition and all assigned meals are displayed, organized by the meal categories (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner...).

In the Week View or Day View screens, tap the Shopping List button to open your most recently used list.

Your clients can log their meals to Macros by clicking on the Log Meal button on the top-left of the meal detail screen.

They can adjust the number of servings to the actual intake of calories. Once the meal is logged to Macros, you will be notified by a corresponding notification.

This feature is only available on the Custom Meal Plans add-on.

Once the Allow client to replace recipes setting is enabled, clients can substitute an assigned recipe with one from the Recipe library. This feature lets them customize recipes to suit their dietary requirements, taste preferences, or cooking skills.

The clients are only able to replace a recipe for the current week from Today and next week.

Simply click on the ٠٠٠ button on the top-left of the meal detail screen then click on Replace Meal. From there, the clients can select any available meal to replace.
Once the meal is replaced, the coach will be notified by a corresponding notification.
