It would be great to have the full nutritional profile for your receipes (e.g. calories per serving, fat, etc.)
Hello–
The nutritional profile is provided on the Food Hero website that we’ve linked to at the bottom.
However, thanks for bringing this up. Next time, we will have the nutritional profile displayed on the blog post as well.
Thanks!
Oh! You’re right! There it is.I didn’t even notice it even though it is bolded. Sometimes the eye looks right past things.
Rather than including all the info in the blog, I’d suggest adding something to the opening paragraph where you highlight particular nutritional features. Something simple like, “View complete nutritional information here” and either link to the Food Hero recipe, or directly to the nutritional information.
