You can analyse the nutrition of your own recipes. Try it for the layered dessert. The traffic lights mean the following:

  • RED: You need to reduce this component, it's too high to be healthy.
  • AMBER: This is an acceptable amount but it would still be good to try to reduce it.
  • GREEN: This is a healthy and desirable amount.

Try varying the quantities of each ingredient to achieve a healthy balance between all of the nutrients.
