Tell us your budget, your diet and how hungry you get. Prep Buddy picks your recipes, costs every meal, writes your shopping list and plans your prep day. You just bring the containers and a podcast.
Where you shop, who you're feeding, which meals, anything off the menu, and your budget and calories per meal.
Recipes picked for you, each costed per serve, plus a shopping list rounded to real pack sizes.
Follow the prep day plan. Chop once, cook together, pack it up, and you're done for the week.
We kept seeing the same thing. People want to eat better and spend less, and meal prep is the obvious answer. Then Sunday arrives and it turns into an hour of scrolling recipes, guessing quantities, buying a bag of spinach you'll never finish, and Thursday's takeaway anyway.
Grocery prices aren't getting any friendlier, and most meal plans are written for someone else's supermarket, someone else's budget and someone else's diet. So we built the buddy we wanted: one that knows what things cost where you live, plans around what you actually eat, and turns cooking for the week into one calm, organised session.
Prep Buddy started in New Zealand and now works in 26 countries. It's built to save you money, time and the 6pm "what's for dinner" panic. We hope it becomes your favourite Sunday habit.
