Recipe Scaler + Shopping List
Cooking for two tonight? Feeding ten on Sunday? Pick a recipe, set your servings, and get a clean shopping list you can take straight to the store.
Amounts that actually make sense
You'll see "1 ½ tbsp" instead of "1.4583 tbsp" — real kitchen measurements, not calculator output. Every recipe on the site is built with precise ingredient data, so the numbers stay reliable no matter how much you scale.
Try it out
Scale a sample lentil stew or grain bowl from 4 servings to 8 and watch the shopping list pull vegetables, legumes, spices, and pantry staples into one tidy grocery run.

Why not just do the math yourself?
You could — but doubling a recipe isn't just multiplying by two and hoping for the best. You want amounts that still make sense in a real kitchen, ingredient groups that still match the steps, and a shopping list where you don't have to hunt through the whole recipe to figure out how many onions you need.
What you can do with it
- Scale any recipe on the site — halve it for a quiet dinner, double it for a crowd
- Get amounts in fractions you'd actually measure, not messy decimals
- Build a shopping list sorted by section: produce, protein, plant milks, herbs, spices, and pantry
- Share the scaled version with a link — whoever opens it sees your exact servings

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work with every recipe on the site?
Yes - every recipe published on Vegan Hacks is set up with the ingredient data the scaler needs, so you can adjust servings on any of them.
Will I get weird numbers like 1.4583 tablespoons?
Nope. The scaler rounds to familiar kitchen fractions — things like 1 ½ tbsp or ¾ cup — so you're measuring with real spoons, not a calculator.
How does the shopping list work?
It combines duplicate ingredients, adds up the amounts, and sorts everything into sections such as produce, protein, plant milks, herbs, spices, and pantry.
Can I send the scaled recipe to someone?
Yes. Just copy the page URL — it saves your recipe choice and servings, so whoever opens the link sees exactly what you see.
How accurate is the shopping list?
Very accurate for weights and volumes. For things like 'one medium onion', it's still an estimate — onions at the market don't come in standard sizes.
Can I use it for recipes from other sites?
Not right now. It's built specifically for the recipes here, which is what keeps the numbers reliable. Parsing random recipe formats from around the web gets messy fast.
