Using Our Blank Templates to Create a Meal Plan

1. To create a new meal plan using a blank recipe template, navigate to My Recipes, and under collections, look for the “Add Collection” prompt. There you’ll find blank meal planning templates, including a Mon-Fri Dinners Only template and a Mon-Sun Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner template. Select your desired template, and a blank version of that template will be added to your collections. You’ll be given the option to rename your meal plan. After clicking on it, you’ll see a blank Meal Plan template.

2. To start building your plan, click Add Items. The default setting allows you to add items from your saved recipes by selecting “Add from Collection > Saved Recipes.” Once you find a recipe you want from “Saved Recipes,” click the plus sign to add it to your plan.
