Editing a meal in your plan

Replace a planned meal with a recipe of your choice, or remove it.

Replace a meal

  1. In the meal planner, tap (mobile) or click (web) the card of the meal you want to change
  2. Choose "Replace with another recipe"
  3. Pick from your favourites or from all your recipes
  4. Confirm: the grocery list updates automatically

Move a meal to any date

Changed your mind? Tuesday's dinner can slide to Thursday, or even to another week:

  • Mobile: long-press the meal → "Move" → a calendar opens.
  • Web: the calendar icon on the meal row → a calendar opens.

In the calendar, move from one month to the next and tap the date you want: next week, in two weeks, next month. You are no longer limited to the current week. If the target slot is already taken, Olivi offers to replace the existing meal.

Remove a meal

Same menu, choose "Remove from plan". The slot becomes empty; you can put something else there later.

Add a meal to a day

Tap the + button on the day. You can then choose one of your recipes (the "My recipes" tab) or ask Olive to create one on demand (the "Create with Olive" tab). When picking the slot, you can check several meals at once (e.g. lunch + dinner): the recipe is added to each. See Building your week with Olive.

Good to know
You can also ask Olive in the chat: "Replace my Thursday dinner with something quick." It recognizes the request and does it for you.
