Free AI meal planner · Healthy · High protein · Meal prep
Tell it how you want to eat: low-cal meals that actually fill you up, high-protein and meat-heavy, or a week of meal prep. Cooking for one or two. Get meals you can keep or swap, the recipes, and one shopping list, with what's on sale near you worked in.

Ways to eat
Mix and match. Every idea shows calories and protein per serving, so you can see it fits before you cook it.
Big plates under 500 calories. Lots of protein and fiber so you're not hungry an hour later.
Chicken, beef, turkey, pork and fish front and center. Set a protein target and it sticks to it.
Cook once, eat all week. A prep plan for 1 or 2 weeks, portioned into containers.
Portions, recipes and the shopping list are sized for exactly how many of you are eating.
Meal ideas
No long forms. Write it the way you'd text it, set a few switches, and get a day, a week or two weeks of meals to keep or swap.
"High-protein lunches I can prep Sunday. Nothing with mushrooms."
Under 500 calories, high protein, meal prep, 30 minutes or less, 1 or 2 people.
Choose how many favorites, new ideas and seasonal dishes you get each week.
Don't like one? Swap just that meal. The rest of the week stays put.
Calories and protein are worked out from the ingredients, not guessed by AI. Foods you skip never show up.
Meal prep
Choose meal prep and HyreKitchen picks recipes that reheat well, share ingredients, and batch-cook together. You get one prep plan in the order to do it, plus how many containers of each.
Works for 1 or 2 weeks. Two-week plans freeze the second half so nothing goes off.
Shop
Shop Walmart instead? Use the same list as an in-store checklist.
Built-in feature · Sales
Turn on sales and HyreKitchen checks this week's deals at your Kroger, shows them to you, and leans on them when it suggests meals. Your goals still come first; the deals just make them cheaper.
Example prices. Yellow always means "on sale" in HyreKitchen, and nothing else.
Cook
One step at a time, with only the ingredients that step needs. Timers are built in, and your screen won't go dark while you're cooking.
Rate & rotate
Rate each meal (and if you cook for two, you each get a vote). Tap "more spice" or "less salt" and the next version of that recipe is adjusted. Keepers return every two weeks, three weeks or monthly, your call.
New ideas are based on what you rated highest, mixed with what's in season.
Cooking for two
Solo works great. If there are two of you, invite the other person and you share the plan, the list and the ratings.
Send one link. They sign in and see the same plan and list, live.
Grab items from the pantry while the other is at the store. The list updates on both phones.
Allergies and hard no's are set once and never show up in any plan.
Yes, it's free
Building a plan and swapping meals use AI, so they come from a monthly allowance that covers a normal household's weekly planning with room to spare. It resets on the 1st, and a failed request gives the credit back.
Why it exists
"We kept asking a chatbot for healthy meal ideas and a shopping list. It worked once, then forgot everything: what we liked, what was on sale, which meals were worth making again. So I built the thing we actually wanted, and we use it every week."
— Brian, founder

Help & FAQ
No. You can plan, get a list, cook and rate without one. Linking Kroger shows your store's sales, works them into meal ideas, and lets you send the list to your cart.
That's the plan: Kroger's family of stores share the same system, so any of them near your ZIP should work.
Walmart doesn't let apps add to your cart, so HyreKitchen gives you the same list as an in-store checklist with a price estimate for comparison.
No. It fills your Kroger cart. You pick pickup or delivery and check out in the Kroger app, the same as always.
From the ingredients and amounts in each recipe, using USDA nutrition data. They're estimates per serving, not medical advice.
No. Plan whatever meals you want: dinners, prepped lunches, or both. Meal prep mode batches them so you cook once for the week.
