Stop guessing weekly food costs and repeating boring dinners. ChakulaPlanner balances authentic Kenyan dishes (Ugali, Sukuma, Ndengu, Swahili Pilau, Lake Tilapia), scales ingredients from 1 to 10 people, and aggregates benchmarked prices from Marikiti, Muthurwa, and Ngara markets.
Not western recipes requiring rare ingredients. ChakulaPlanner runs on authentic staples you can buy at your local open-air market or mama mboga stall.
Balanced weekly rotations across Breakfast, Midday Energy Lunch, and Family Gathering Dinner. Automatically balances Ugali, Sukuma, Ndengu, Mukimo, Githeri, Pilau, and Tilapia.
Slide from 1 (single person) to 10 (large extended family). The engine recalculates exact ingredient weights (grams of unga, kg of meat, bunches of sukuma) and updates the total budget in real time.
Compare benchmark rates across Wakulima/Marikiti (Wholesale), Muthurwa, City Market, Ngara, and Kawangware to calculate real-world shopping basket costs and beat supermarket markups.
Track daily average calories (2,100+ kcal target), protein (84g/day), complex carbohydrates, and dietary fiber to keep family health and energy optimal.
1-click generates a clean, organized checklist grouped by dry grains, fresh greens, proteins, and spices that you can send directly to your phone or domestic manager via WhatsApp.
Set your target weekly grocery allowance (e.g. KES 4,500). If premium proteins cause an overrun, the system flags the variance and recommends high-protein soko alternatives like green grams or eggs.
Try the portion scaling slider, switch soko markets, inspect the 7-day meal schedules, and test the WhatsApp grocery list generator right in your browser.
