Weekly meal prep
Cook once on Sunday and eat well until Thursday. Each plan comes with a prep order, the ingredients its recipes share, the containers to have ready and what to reheat each day.

Prep your own week
Plan your meals in the meal planner, then press Make it a prep week. We'll turn your plan into a Sunday prep order with shared ingredients, containers and reheating, and tell you which meals to freeze or cook fresh.
How we pick the recipes
- Every recipe keeps at least 4 days in the fridge by its own storage note, so Sunday's cooking lasts through Thursday. USDA says to eat refrigerated leftovers within 3 to 4 days (source).
- Two mains trade places at lunch and dinner, so you don't eat the same thing twice in a row.
- The recipes are picked to share ingredients, so you buy and chop less.
- Split big batches into shallow containers so they cool quickly. Hot food can go straight into the fridge.
