Then add recipes to your meal plan calendar and your shopping list builds automatically organized by store section.
How does AI recipe generation work?
Type any dish description with specifics like cuisine, difficulty level, and serving size. Sprig generates a complete recipe in seconds including chef tips, substitutions, and full nutrition facts. The AI automatically respects your dietary needs and allergens. You can choose from any cuisine, from easy to hard difficulty, and with dietary filters including allergen-aware options.
Can I import recipes from external sources?

How do smart shopping lists work?
Your shopping list builds automatically from your meal plan, organized by store section with duplicates merged. When you tap 'Shop for the Day,' the list is ready to go. You can check items off as you shop. The list intelligently merges duplicate ingredients from multiple recipes and organizes everything by where you'd find items in your store.
Can I modify recipes after generation?

Sprig adjusts everything instantly including ingredients, steps, and nutrition. You can also add personal recipe notes for your tweaks, timing adjustments, or secret tips that grow with your experience.

What is the community library feature?
Browse thousands of recipes from real Sprig cooks with no generation credits needed. Save any recipe to your library for free.

You can log when you make dishes, share photos, and see what's trending.
Is there a free trial and what's included?
Yes, start with a 7-day free trial with no credit card required.
