Try A New Meal Planning App And Be Entered To Win A $100 Grocery Gift Card To A Store Of Your Choosing!

10/26/2014

We have discovered a new tool to help make meal planning easier! Meal Garden is virtual marketplace that allows you to easily find healthy meals based on:

• What you and your family like (or dislike)
• Time available for preparation
• Budget
• Allergies

Think of it as a ‘google’ for meals! Within one app you’ll be able to:

• Find recipes from around the web (or from your own cookbook)
• Automatically generate grocery lists for those recipes
• Pre order the ingredients for pick up from participating grocery stores (yes – this is the future of grocery store service!)
• Search restaurant take-out/delivery options
• Order meal services like Mealspirations, Fresh Canteen, Green Zebra Kitchen, Organic Produce Boxes, etc.

The system will act as a concierge; managing the scheduling and payment aspects of these processes and even recognizing ingredients on-hand (ie what’s in your pantry).

At the heart of this system is a series of ‘Health Algorithms’. Every recipe or meal in the system is processed through these algorithms to determine a ‘Health Value’. This value is prominently displayed and can be calculated specifically for your family. Simplifying the process of eating healthier.

This app is still in the testing phase, and Meal Garden is looking for input from moms like you. They’ve created a simple demo system for you to walk through and then answer 5 short yes/no questions at the end. The whole process will take less than 3 minutes, and you’ll be entered to win a $100 Gift Certificate to a grocery store of your choice!  Just follow and click on the blue dot.  Survey must be completed by midnight on Monday Nov 3rd.
