Custom Meal Plans

Pick number of days (e.g. 5 or 7) and meal slots (breakfast, lunch, dinner, optional snacks). The system fills each slot with a glow-friendly recipe and total prep time. Deterministic example: 5-day plan, 3 meals per day = 15 recipes; each recipe is chosen from a fixed list so the same inputs always produce the same plan.

Sample 5-min meal plan (static output):

Day 1: B — Oat berry bowl (10 min) | L — Green salad + chickpeas (12 min) | D — Salmon + broccoli (20 min). Day 2: B — Yogurt + fruit (5 min) | L — Sweet potato + greens (15 min) | D — Lentil soup (18 min). Day 3: B — Smoothie (5 min) | L — Quinoa bowl (8 min) | D — Chicken + peppers (22 min). Day 4: B — Toast + avocado (7 min) | L — Leftover soup | D — Fish + spinach (19 min). Day 5: B — Oat berry bowl (10 min) | L — Salad (12 min) | D — Bean chili (25 min).

Substitution Suggestions

Swap ingredients without losing the glow focus. Each substitution is deterministic (same input = same suggestion).

Salmon → Trout, mackerel, or canned sardines (omega-3). Spinach → Kale, arugula, or chard (folate, vitamin K). Yogurt (dairy) → Unsweetened coconut yogurt or soy yogurt (check calcium). Honey → Maple syrup or date syrup (similar sweetness, different minerals). Walnuts → Almonds or pumpkin seeds (vitamin E, minerals).
