Abstract
An ingredient substitution system may include a shopper device associated with a given shopper that may have shopper profile data associated therewith. An ingredient substitution server is configured to store recipes. Each recipe may have ingredients associated therewith, and each ingredient may have an ingredient nutritional tag associated therewith. The server may determine a recipe from among the recipes based upon matching the ingredient nutritional tag to the corresponding shopper profile data and communicate the recipe to the shopper device. The server may also be configured to determine a substitute ingredient for a given ingredient of the recipe. The substitute ingredient may have a substitute ingredient nutritional tag, and the substitute ingredient may be determined based upon matching the substitute ingredient nutritional tag and the corresponding ingredient nutritional tag. The server may also generate a digital coupon redeemable toward the substitute ingredient and communicate the digital coupon to the shopper device.
