Introducing Cozi Meal Planner: Dinner’s just a few taps away!

We’re excited to bring all Cozi families a new way to plan meals in the app using Cozi Meal Planner. With this easy-to-use scheduler, you can quickly create a dinner plan for the week ahead. 

Find the Meal Planner by tapping Recipes and selecting Meal Planner Beta. Begin by viewing the week you’d like to plan for. You’ll see that Cozi’s done the work of tracking your busy days for you!  

Under each date, the number of events in your Cozi Calendar is displayed. With a quick tap on this blue text, remind yourself what’s coming up. Soccer practice till 7PM? Might want to throw something in the crockpot in the morning! 

Select the day you want to plan dinner, and you’ll see a few options for entering your meal: 

• Choose from Cozi Picks, a library of recipes we’ve collected from our Cozi families. 
• Select a recipe from Cozi Top 20, a new list of popular dinner recipes.  
• Add a new recipe, either from scratch or by pasting in a URL from your favorite cooking site. 
• Choose a recipe from your Family Recipe Box

Once you’ve selected your meal, the recipe will automatically show up in your weekly view. You can continue to add dinners in the Meal Planner for as many days as you’d like. (Meal planning is currently limited to dinners only.) 

The dinners you schedule in Cozi Meal Planner will also show up in your Cozi Calendar. Whether you’re in Agenda, 3-day (Cozi Gold feature) or Month View (Cozi Gold feature), tap on the Meal, then tap View Recipe to bring up the recipe.  

You can integrate the recipe ingredients with your Cozi Shopping Lists by tapping the Shopping Cart icon at the top of your screen. Then, choose to add it to an existing Groceries list or create a new list.  

Plan your meals around your busy schedule

We know how important it is to plan a meal that works around your schedule. So when you enter the Meal Planner, your weekly view will also display how many events you have on each day that week.  

Quickly pick dinners for the week

Adding a recipe to the Calendar is one tap away. Just browse your recipe box, or any one of our pre-populated recipe sections. With a quick tap on the + sign, your chosen recipe is on the Calendar.  

Never hear the question “What’s for dinner?” again 

Once a meal is added to your calendar, any family member on your Cozi account can see what’s for dinner, either directly from Agenda, any Calendar view, or the Meal Planner. You’ll never hear that dreaded question again—or, at least, next time you can answer it with “Check Cozi!”  

Happy (meal) planning!
