What eMeals does

eMeals is a meal plan subscription for busy households. Each week you get seven new dinner recipes in the meal style you pick, plus a grocery list you can send to partners like Walmart, Instacart and Kroger for pickup or delivery. It works on iPhone and Android.

Seven new dinner recipes every week
15 meal plan styles in one subscription
Grocery list built from the week's plan
Send your list to Walmart, Instacart or Kroger
Optional breakfast and lunch bundle

eMeals is for when the hard part isn't cooking, it's deciding. Pick a meal style, like quick meals, low-carb, keto or paleo, and every week the app hands you seven new dinner recipes. One subscription covers all 15 plan styles, so you can switch whenever you like.

The grocery list is the time saver. It fills itself from the week's plan, and you can send it to grocery partners like Walmart, Instacart and Kroger for pickup or delivery. There's also an All-Day Bundle if you want breakfast and lunch ideas too.

There's no free plan, and reviewers mention that navigation can feel clunky and that you can't change the base recipes. It's also more about following a plan than saving your own recipes. If you want dinner decided for you every week, it does that job well.
