Click 'Generate Plan' and our AI creates a balanced 5-day lunch menu in seconds. Each day includes a main meal, snacks, full ingredient list, step-by-step recipe instructions, and estimated nutritional information.

Allergy-Safe Meal Planning

Every meal plan is built around your family's specific dietary requirements. Our database of over 100 New Zealand-friendly recipes is tagged with detailed allergen information, ensuring that filtered meals never contain ingredients that could trigger allergies. From tree nut and peanut allergies to coeliac-friendly gluten-free options, your children's safety comes first.

Real Supermarket Prices

We fetch live pricing data from Countdown NZ and provide estimates for Pak'nSave to give you an accurate picture of your weekly lunch spend. Each ingredient shows its unit price and portion cost, so you can make informed decisions about your grocery budget. Most families find they can prepare a full week of healthy school lunches for under $15.
