Building a Meal Plan is easy. Pre-made Meal Plans from the Healthi nutrition team are built from our extensive Recipe Database. You can click on any recipe to look at the ingredients and instructions and view its full nutritional data.
But even more helpful is the ability to create your own Meal Plan. This can be built with your own recipes or by selecting recipes from the Healthi Recipe Database.
