We know how hard it can be to cook filling, healthy meals for the entire family when you’re short on time and patience. There are lots of things to consider when trying to make food at home, like price, nutrition, portion size, and taste.
That’s where JOW comes in. JOW helps you create optimized grocery shopping lists, taking the whole family into account so you always buy exactly what you need. Then, we arrange for you to either pick your groceries up at a local store or to have them delivered, so that you can spend your time doing what matters most to you. We put together a list of some of our favorite recipes for 2021 that are easy to make while satisfying all of your family’s needs.

Almond Chia Pudding
Sometimes, the first meal of the day is also the most difficult. Not only do you have to get yourself ready for the day to come, but you also have to get your children ready for their days, too.
Between waking the kids, checking early morning emails, and trying to shake away any 7 AM grogginess, breakfast can easily become relegated to take out pastries, sugary cereals, or toaster waffles.
This Almond Chia Pudding only takes 5 minutes to prepare and 5 minutes to cool, and it can help your family start their day off right with 11 grams of healthy protein. Chia seeds are also packed with fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, making them a powerful source of nutrients.
Maple syrup adds sweetness, sliced almonds provide even more protein and fiber, and almond milk gives this pudding its satisfying squish.
Best of all, this recipe is so simple and quick, you can take the time to sit down with your family in the morning and connect before a busy afternoon.
