How to customise your meal kit<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Set your ingredient avoidance preferences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every household has its \u201cnot a fan\u201d list. Tell us which ingredients you\u2019d rather avoid, and we\u2019ll show you recipes that suit your preferences. To set them, head to the \u2018Subscription\u2019 tab in your account area and click Ingredients to Avoid<\/strong> under Personalisation Settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Double your protein<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Feeding a hungry crew? On select recipes, you can double the protein to make meals stretch further. It\u2019s perfect for big appetites, post-training dinners, or the nights when you want leftovers to sort tomorrow\u2019s lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Swap your protein<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fancy a change? On select recipes, you can swap your protein for another option. It\u2019s a simple way to give a family favourite a fresh twist, or to match what your household actually likes to eat. Look for the ‘Customisable’ tag when choosing your recipes and try swapping chicken breast to chicken thigh or fish, pork mince to beef mince, or beef rump to your preferred steak cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Add Sides or Extras<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fancy a change? On select recipes, you can swap your protein for another option. It\u2019s a simple way to give a family favourite a fresh twist, or to match what your household actually likes to eat. Look for the \u2018Customisable\u2019 tag when choosing your recipes, then try swapping chicken breast for chicken thigh or fish, pork mince for beef mince, or beef rump for your preferred steak cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Flex your number of meals to fit your week<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No two weeks look the same. Got guests coming? Add more meals. Heading away midweek or keen on a quieter week? Dial it back. You can flex your number of meals anywhere from 3 to 5 nights, so you only get what you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Skip, change or cancel: because life happens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Skip your delivery<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Away for the long weekend or already well stocked? You can skip any week\u2019s delivery before midnight Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change or cancel your subscription<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re in control. Change or cancel your subscription any time before midnight Monday each week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change your delivery address<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Staying at a friend\u2019s or heading to the bach? Update your delivery address before 7pm Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However your week looks, dinner should be simple, healthy and delicious. Log in to customise your delivery<\/a> and make your next bag one that truly fits.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
