Founded by a working mum of three who understands how busy life can get, Meals Mapped Out is a meal planning service that provides digital dinner plans every week.

We are based in New Zealand and our recipes use everyday ingredients that you'll find at Kiwi supermarkets. That said, we're not exclusive to those living in Aotearoa! Because we're digital, our plans can be used by anyone, anywhere.

Our meal plans start at just $5 per week.

Our meal plans are released every Thursday as a digital PDF.

You will automatically be billed the non-refundable cost of your chosen plan, every 7 days.

We've designed our service to eliminate the need for you to spend time and effort on meal planning. We provide a set menu each week, ensuring there's no need for you to sift through numerous recipes trying to decide what to make.

That said, we like to think of our plans as your guide to what to have for dinner - we do the thinking so that you don't have to. Quantities (and even ingredients!) can always be self-adjusted, depending on how your family eats. We won't mind!

We aim to provide recipes that are nutritious, healthy and varied for you and your family. Download a free plan to get a sense of the kinds of meals you can expect.

This will vary from week to week, depending on where and how you shop (brands, etc). Rest assured that we aim to provide simple recipes that use seasonal ingredients wherever possible, to keep costs down. The key to saving on your food bill is planning ahead, so that you only buy what you need - and our meal plans take care of that.

Some meals take just 15 minutes to prepare; others take a little longer (around an hour for our Kiwi roast, for example). We generally aim for the 30 minute mark but it really does vary. The recommended time allocation is stated on each recipe card, as a general guide.

Yes! We keep our recipes simple and we provide step-by-step instructions to ensure you feel comfortable cooking our meals from start to finish.

For the shopping list each week, all ingredients are separated into "Bought" and "Pantry". The Bought items are those that you will need to buy for the upcoming week's meals, while the Pantry ingredients are items that one could be reasonably expected to have in their cupboard already. These might be things like oil, butter, salt, pepper, mixed herbs, beef stock and so forth.

While you may need to purchase some pantry items at the beginning, you certainly won't need to buy these every week and they tend to have a long shelf life, meaning you can use them for multiple meals over time.

Our service is designed to ease the pressure and make dinnertime easier during the busy working weeks. If you're anything like us, the weekends tend to be slower paced or you might eat more socially. That said, you're welcome to cook our recipes any night of the week - it's all about what works for you.

The short is answer is yes. Meal planning ensures you buy ingredients specifically for what you need, meaning you tend to spend less overall. Meal planning also reduces extra trips to the supermarket, lowers anxiety around what to cook for dinner, reduces food waste and it most certainly avoids expensive takeaways.

Overall, meal planning saves you not only money, but time and effort as well.

Anyone with allergies or special dietary needs should carefully check the ingredients recommended in each recipe and replace allergen foods with a suitable substitute.
