Meal Planner: Recipes, Weekly Plans, and AI Variations

Meal planning is one of those things that saves time and money once you get into the habit, but getting started is the hard part. Meal Planner gives you a recipe library, a weekly planning grid, and AI-powered recipe variations, all in one place.

Build your recipe library

Add recipes with structured ingredients (quantities, units, notes), step-by-step instructions, prep and cook times, servings, and dietary tags. Each recipe gets its own page where you can see everything at a glance, adjust the serving count, and view estimated nutrition.

Tag recipes however you like: by cuisine, meal type, speed, dietary requirements, or anything else. Filter and search your library to find the right dish quickly.

Plan your week with drag and drop

The meal plan grid shows your week at a glance. Drag recipes into breakfast, lunch, and dinner slots for each day. Switch between a single-week view and a multi-week calendar to plan further ahead. Mark plans as active, draft, or template for easy reuse.

Once your plan is set, generate a shopping list grouped by ingredient. The list combines quantities from all recipes in the plan so you know exactly what to buy.

AI recipe variations

This is where it gets interesting. Take any recipe and ask the AI to create a variation. Tell it what you need: toddler-safe, low sodium, vegetarian, dairy-free, or anything specific. The AI produces a full modified recipe with adjusted ingredients and updated instructions.

Every variation is linked to the original recipe so you can compare them side by side in a structured diff view. See exactly what changed, why, and decide whether to keep it. You can create as many variations as you need from a single recipe.

Version history

Every change to a recipe is tracked. If you edit a recipe manually or apply an AI variation, the previous version is saved. You can review the history and restore an earlier version at any time.

Works on mobile

The full recipe view, plan grid, and shopping list all work on mobile. Pull up a recipe while you are cooking without needing to switch to a different app or dig through bookmarks.

Included with every plan

Meal Planner is available on all Raq.com plans. Adding recipes and creating meal plans is free. AI recipe variations use a small amount of AI usage from your plan allowance. Higher plans give you more AI usage for generating more variations. Start your free trial. No credit card required.
