For busy households who want to eat better without counting calories, Mendu plans a week of quick meals the whole table will eat — three options at every meal, ready in 5 / 10 / 20 minutes on the day (some made ahead on your prep day) — and turns it into one exact shopping list for the stores near you.

No calorie counting. Three options at every meal, then one shopping list.
Pick diet styles, allergies, how much time you have to cook, and who's eating (1–8+ people, including kids' portions). You can also pick optional eating patterns, such as more vegetables or more fiber. Mendu uses your answers to shape the menu.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner (plus an optional snack), with three options for every meal so you're never stuck. Swap anything with one tap.
Follow step-by-step recipes with portions and nutrition, then get a grocery list in real package sizes. Print it sorted by aisle, or copy it into your favorite grocery delivery app. Mendu never charges you for groceries.
Mendu plans the cooking and the shopping together, so dinner is quick and your fridge doesn't end the week full of wilted herbs.
This is the standard menu, not a mode you turn on. Meals are ready in 5 / 10 / 20 minutes on the day; some are made ahead on your prep day. Times count real prep and cooking, including a microwave rice pouch when a recipe uses one.
Cooking for 1, 2, 4 or 8+? Recipes scale by weight and get rewritten in easy kitchen measures, with whole eggs, batch and pan tips, and smaller portions for kids. Each person's nutrition stays the same.
Your list is planned around real package sizes and shelf life. Cook once, eat twice, freeze what keeps, and get small "use it up" tips so half a bunch of cilantro doesn't go in the bin.
Enter your address or ZIP and pick the grocery store you use. Mendu builds that store's list, sorted by aisle. You review it and pay at the store. Weekly specials are coming soon.
*Mendu estimate for our sample vegetarian week, based on typical US package sizes and fridge life. Your results will vary. Mendu does not rank stores by price. Weekly specials won't be available at every store or in every area at first.
Combine them freely, like vegetarian + Mediterranean or gluten-free + diabetic-friendly. Low-FODMAP stays marked coming soon.
Mendu's diet tags (such as diabetic-friendly, heart-healthy, DASH, low-FODMAP and keto) mean a recipe meets general nutrition criteria reviewed by a registered dietitian. They are for general wellness and education only. They are not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and they do not replace an individualized plan from your doctor or registered dietitian. Nutrition values are estimates calculated per serving from USDA FoodData Central and vary with brands, portions and cooking. If you have diabetes, heart or kidney disease, IBS or food allergies, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take medication (especially insulin or glucose-lowering drugs), talk with your healthcare provider before changing how you eat. 'Gluten-free' and 'nut-free' mean made without those ingredients; always check package labels for allergen and cross-contact warnings.
Coming soon: pending dietitian review
Growing library: fewer choices for now.
Here's a dinner from a vegetarian week. Familiar plates, ready in 20 minutes or less, with three options so the whole table has a choice.
Values are estimates from USDA FoodData Central data, some from product labels.

No. Mendu provides general nutrition information and meal ideas for educational purposes only. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for professional diagnosis, treatment or care. Mendu does not claim that any food or meal plan cures, treats or prevents any disease or condition. Always talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian before changing your diet, especially if you have diabetes or take medication.
Your quiz answers (diet styles, optional eating patterns such as more vegetables or more fiber, allergies, dislikes, cooking time and household size) shape which recipes you get, how big the batches are and what goes on your grocery list.
The diabetic-friendly style is a diet style you can select after a dietitian reviews it. It is not a substitute for your care team's guidance. Please review any plan with your doctor or diabetes educator, especially if you use insulin or glucose-lowering medication.
Every recipe lists calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber and sodium per serving. Values are estimates from USDA FoodData Central data, some from product labels. They vary with brands and cooking.
Mendu builds the list for the store you pick. You review every item and pay on that store's site. Mendu never places the order and never charges you for groceries. Print the list, copy it, or share it. Some stores can also open a cart on their own site once that connection is turned on.
Yes. Choose your delivery day and an optional midweek top-up. Mendu puts sturdy and frozen items in the first order and saves delicate produce like herbs, berries and lettuce for the top-up, so everything is fresh when you cook it.
Weekly specials are coming soon, and only after a store agrees to share its ad. Mendu does not rank one store against another by price. You pick the store you already shop at, and the price you pay is the one on that store's site.
Yes. Use Manage or cancel my plan (also at the bottom of every page). Sign in with the email you used at checkout, then cancel, switch plans, update your card or see your invoices. If you cancel during the 7-day free trial, you won't be charged.
