Same prep all week. Different taste every day.
Choose the foods you prepare and the number of days you need. We will suggest a different flavour combination for each day, with a short note on how to use it. There is no sign-up.
1 · Your staples
2 · Your week
Monday
Chicken breast: Lemon or lime - a squeeze over the cooked plate, right before eating
Rice: Fresh herbs - chopped spring onion or parsley folded through
Green vegetables: Smoked paprika + garlic - a dusting before a final minute of heat if you can
Tuesday
Chicken breast: Pranasalt sachet - tear one sachet over the plate - six tastes in one move
Rice: Vinegar + black pepper - rice vinegar or balsamic, sparingly, while warm
Green vegetables: Lemon or lime - a squeeze plus a little zest over the top
Wednesday
Chicken breast: Chilli flakes - a pinch over the top, more if the day needs it
Rice: Mustard - half a teaspoon whisked into the warm portion
Green vegetables: Pranasalt sachet - one sachet over the plate; it wakes plain vegetables up first
Thursday
Chicken breast: Fresh herbs - torn coriander, parsley or dill over the finished plate
Rice: Smoked paprika + garlic - a dusting tossed through while warm
Green vegetables: Chilli flakes - a pinch, added while still hot so the heat blooms
Friday
Chicken breast: Vinegar + black pepper - a few drops of good vinegar, then coarse pepper
Rice: Lemon or lime - a squeeze plus black pepper, folded through while warm
Green vegetables: Fresh herbs - torn basil or mint - raw, never cooked in
Same choices, same plan, every time - it's a rotation, not a roulette. Cook everything plain and in batch as usual; the plan only touches the last three seconds of each plate.
How to use your plan
Try the suggestions that appeal to you and swap any that do not. Add a little at a time, taste, and adjust. For more ideas, read how to make cutting food taste good and food boredom.
If your week leans on protein, the high-protein meals page has more cooking ideas, and low-calorie flavour enhancers explains how to compare the portions you use.
How does the flavour rotation planner work?
Choose the foods you prepare and a five- or seven-day week. The planner suggests a different finish each day, with a short note on how to use it. The same selections produce the same plan.
Why rotate flavours instead of using one favourite?
A different mix of herbs and spices is a simple way to vary a familiar meal. Use the suggestions you like, and swap any that do not suit your taste.
Do I need to buy anything to use the plan?
The planner is free. Its suggestions include citrus, vinegar, chilli flakes, mustard, herbs and Pranasalt. You may already have some of these; substitute what you have and enjoy.
Does the planner store my data?
The plan is calculated in your browser without an account. Your selections are not saved by this planner. The website uses cookieless usage analytics; see the Privacy Policy for details and opt-out options.
Will rotating flavours change my calories?
That depends on the ingredient and the amount you use. Check labels if you track your food. A roughly 1g Pranasalt sachet adds about 0.2 kcal.
