Picture this: you’ve gotten home from picking the kids up from school and you’ve had a long day at work (not unusual, right?). But it’s time to feed the family, and that Pinterest recipe you found is looking mighty tedious with all its steps and ingredients. Your first thought—rummage something from the fridge, or ditch the dishes and order carry-out. Better thought? Take advantage of Gray Nutrition’s new meal kit program, which is dedicated to making family dinners a breeze with simple steps and easy-to-follow directions.
This meal kit method, created by Gray Nutrition owner Emily Mobley, focuses on bringing balance to every plate. Emily explains, “I have something that helps people get a healthy meal in front of their families with five ingredients or less.” And she’s making it easy, giving her clients all the tools they need, plus a visual-aid to help everyone in the family conceptualize each meal, even the littles. “I get a lot of parents who want to know how to teach their kids to be healthy, and this provides a good visual cue to hang on their fridge, or let their kids pick cards for the week so they better understand ‘oh, this is what my plate needs to look like.’”
These meal kits range from breakfast to dinner recipes, and include snack ideas to keep the kiddos full all day long. “I think this helps inspire parents to teach kids how to balance their meals, and shows parents how to teach their kids in a way they understand.”
How It Works:
Choose meals for the week
Grocery shop for meal ingredients
Use meal cards to construct
Gray Nutrition’s meal kit method was born from the idea that “you can do really simple things to organize your life and get a healthy meal in front of you.” Intrigued? Here are six hard-hitters to help convince you this is a can’t-miss choice.
Kid-Friendly
This plan goes heavy on the visuals, giving kids a concrete idea of a well-rounded plate in a way they understand. “We’re still using fun foods, like chicken nuggets or gummy bears, but doing it in a way that’s healthier,” Emily promises.
Stress-Free
Your meals for the week are chosen so there’s no back-and-forth about what’s for dinner. Your grocery list is right there when you go to the store to pick up ingredients, taking the stress out of weekly grocery trips (or Instacart orders).
Reduces Waste
“If you have a plan for the week, you utilize what you buy,” Emily explains. When you’re following your meal kit guide, you reduce the risk of running out of time before fresh foods or produce goes bad.
Five Ingredients or Less
Everything is approachable and super simple with minimal ingredients, some of which are prepackaged—designed to work specifically to make meal-planning, prep and cooking significantly easier.
Healthy & Balanced
Each kit pairs together whole, healthy foods with some processed items to make preparation painless. It’s all about creating a plate that’s well-rounded in nutrients and that also keeps your family fueled and full longer.
Easy Meal Plans in Under Five Minutes
Meals can be prepared in as much or as little time as you have to spend. In a pinch, prepackaged ingredients can be heated up quickly, making weeknight meals time-affordable and trouble-free—and who doesn’t love that?
