How to use it
Press "Build a week from the collection": the planner puts salads from here on dinners and lunches, fills the other meals to match your answers and builds a shopping list in whole packs. If you pick the goal to lose weight or eat healthy in the quiz, the day's calories are counted and the rest is fitted to them. Every recipe has a servings counter, so the price and the weights scale to your family.
The dressings here have no mayonnaise: Greek yogurt with mustard and lemon, mustard with balsamic vinegar and honey, soy sauce with lime, peanut butter, tahini. Cook the chicken and eggs for a packed lunch the evening before. Keep the dressing separate, because wet vegetables go soft faster. A jar salad and the dense bean salad keep for two to three days, while leafy ones without dressing are best eaten the day you make them.
