How to Use AI to Find Heart Healthy Dinners the Whole Family Will Love

Eating healthy while juggling the preferences and dietary needs of your family can feel like a challenge, especially when specific diet restrictions come into play. But with Ollie, you don’t have to compromise. Ollie is a family AI that does the work of finding dinners that are personalized to you (whether that’s heart healthy dinners or something else), while still being delicious for everyone at the table.

 

Step 1: Tell Ollie About Yourself

The first step is to help Ollie understand what you like, don’t like, and any dietary needs. You can specify which members of the family have different preferences, and Ollie will learn more about you as you use it. 

  • Tip: Be specific! You say things like “my daughter has a wheat allergy, and I need heart healthy food”. The more information you share, the better Ollie can customize meals to meet your needs.

Step 2: Customize Your Recipes

While your heart health is a priority, you also want meals that your family will enjoy. Ollie allows you to customize recipes to fit everyone’s tastes. For example, you can ask to substitute an ingredient, change the portion size or add a side.

Ollie will recommend meals for the week and you can swap them out or customize them until you’re excited about what you’re cooking.

  • Tip: Use Ollie to swap ingredients. If a recipe calls for something your kids don’t like, ask Ollie for alternatives—making it easier to satisfy everyone.

Step 3: Choose Your Level of Convenience

One of the great features of Ollie is its flexibility. Not only will it find you heart healthy dinners, but it will also allow you to specify how much time you have. Whether you want a 30-minute weeknight dinner or something that can be prepared in advance, Ollie will adapt to your schedule and suggest meals that fit into your life.

  • Tip: Have a busy night coming up? Ask Ollie for slow cooker or one-pan meals that are both heart healthy and easy to prepare.

Step 4: Get Your Instant Grocery List

Once you’ve selected your meals, Ollie takes the next step by creating an organized grocery list. You won’t have to worry about missing ingredients or figuring out quantities—Ollie handles it all. This not only saves you time but also ensures that your meals are well-balanced and meet your dietary goals.

  • Tip: If you already have some ingredients at home, simply cross them off the list in the app to avoid buying duplicates.

  • Tip: If you find a recipe your family loves, you can save it in your Cookbook within Ollie for future use, making meal planning even easier next time.
