I make a green shake with loads of veg and fruit. How do I add that to the food diary?

It contains broccoli, spinach, wheat grass, lemon, pear and ginger.
How do I add it to the food diary as the green shakes all seem to be off the shelf stuff

    If this is a common meal/snack for you, I would make this a recipe. It's in the sub-menu under food. That way your shake is an easy add.

    Measure the individual components and add to the recipe. Choose the number of servings, save and you're done. The other option is to log each component. It's not that bad really, MFP will remember recent foods.

    Here's my Instant Oats Packet recipe as an example. Servings 5 Calories per serving 167

    3 Packet, Truvia Sweetener *
    1.50 teaspoon, Cinnamon
    0.25 cup dry, Milk Powder, Instant, Non Fat, Dry
    2.50 cup, Oatmeal
    3 tsp, Brown Sugar Granulated

    Cheers. It 319 calories but nearly 18g of fiber and a tonne of vitamins. It’s a good start to the day now that I’m not fasting.
    Thanks for the help
