Nouriq’s Meal Plans vs. Menus: What’s the Difference?

At Nouriq, we’re all about making healthy eating work for your busy, determined life.

Here’s a quick rundown on how our personalized meal plans differ from a standard menu:

Menu: Think of this as a fixed schedule of set meals planned for each day (Monday to Saturday). It’s structured, with specific recipes for you to follow each day. Great for simplicity, but less flexible.

They come with recipes, plus practical education and guidelines to empower you to make sustainable, lifelong healthy eating choices. It’s all about flexibility and individuality!
