Pro Tips for Better Meal Planning

  • ๐Ÿ’กShop smart: Buy ingredients that appear in multiple recipes to reduce waste and save money. The AI prioritizes common ingredients across your meal plan.
  • ๐Ÿ’กBatch cook: Look for recipes that can be prepared in larger quantities and frozen for later. Soups, stews, and casseroles are perfect candidates.
  • ๐Ÿ’กPrep in advance: Sunday meal prep is a game-changer. Wash and chop vegetables, marinate proteins, and portion out snacks for the entire week.
  • ๐Ÿ’กSeasonal ingredients: Choose "seasonal" in preferences to get recipes featuring fresh, affordable produce currently in season in the Philippines.
  • ๐Ÿ’กLeftover strategy: The AI suggests serving sizes that intentionally create leftovers for lunch the next day, cutting your meal prep time in half.
