For all of us, building healthy habits can feel daunting. The new year is the ideal time to connect with your consumers on those things that truly matter to them and support them in their health goals. Here are five ways SideChef’s recipe tools and recipe expertise can help you support your consumers on their path to better eating in 2025!
Home-cooked meals are healthier and linked to better diet quality and lower risks of chronic conditions. While takeout can be tempting, 43% of Americans aim to cook more in 2025. Make home cooking feel manageable and rewarding by showing how grocery shopping is cheaper than takeout and can save them up to $7 to $9 per meal. So if you’re managing your own recipe platform, now’s the time to engage with your users and promote your healthy content!
Planning meals for the week ahead reduces the temptation to reach for unhealthy options. Create a simple weekly menu with a balance of proteins, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. A Personalized Meal Planner can help your consumers prepare ahead for a healthy week!
Batch cooking—in which you prepare larger portions of meals ahead of time for the week—supports healthier eating by providing nutrient-rich, portion-controlled meals that are ready when you need them. This approach minimizes food waste, streamlines meal preparation, and makes it easier to maintain your health goals. Consider providing curated weekly meal plans and recipes tailored for make-ahead convenience. Additionally, leverage video content to inspire habit changes—relatable influencers demonstrating the process can make it more engaging and accessible.
