When planning your week, you'll be able to generate a shopping list from the Second Nature recipes.
You can refer to your customised shopping list when placing a food order to your home, or when shopping at the supermarket (it's grouped by shopping aisle!)
Two ways to create a shopping list:
You can access the shopping list feature through the Toolbox of the app to generate a shopping list from a selection of recipes.
You can build a shopping list either from your weekly meal plan or from a selection of recipes you choose yourself.
Option 1: From selected recipes
Go to Toolbox > Shopping lists
Tap Create a shopping list
Choose Selected recipes
Search or browse, then tap to select up to 30 recipes — a green tick shows which ones you've picked, and a running count ("X of 30 selected") appears at the top
Once you're happy with your selection, tap Create shopping list
Option 2: From your weekly meal plan
Go to Toolbox > Shopping lists
Tap Create a shopping list
Choose From a meal plan
Select the week you want to create a list for
OR:
Open your week's meal plan in the Meal planner tool
Select Shopping list just below the date range
The app will populate a scrollable shopping list from the Second Nature recipes you've saved in your week's meal plan.
Finding your shopping lists again
All the shopping lists you've created, whether from a meal plan or from selected recipes, are saved and easy to pick back up.
Go to Toolbox > Shopping lists
You'll see each saved list labelled by type (Meal plan or Selected recipes), along with the date it was created and how many items are left to pick up
Tap any list to open it and carry on where you left off
It's not currently possible to delete or rename a shopping list once it's been created.
Using your shopping list
Once your list is generated, ingredients are grouped by shopping aisle (for example, "Fruit and vegetables"), with the total amount needed for each item across all your chosen recipes, so if two recipes both use garlic, you'll just see one combined amount.
Tap the circle next to an item to tick it off as you shop
Tap Copy to share the list with someone via message or email
Tap Print to print it out
Your list is AI-generated from your selected recipes, so it's worth double-checking quantities before you shop.
The shopping list won't yet include ingredients from personal recipes you've added - only ingredients from Second Nature recipes.
If you have any questions about the Shopping list function, please don't hesitate to message our support team from the 'Chat' page in-app, or email support@secondnature.io.
