Overview of Content Types
Member Kitchens offers several content types to help you engage your members effectively. Here’s a brief overview of each type and how they relate to each other:
Recipe
Recipes are detailed cooking instructions that include ingredients, steps, and nutritional information. They are the backbone of meal planning and provide members with the guidance they need to prepare meals.
Meal Plan
Meal plans organize recipes into a structured format, allowing you to create a grid of meals for specific days. This helps members plan their meals efficiently and can be tailored to their dietary needs.
Resource
Resources are downloadable files or documents, such as PDFs or external links, that provide additional value to your members. They can include meal planning templates, shopping lists, or educational materials.
Journey
Journeys are time-bound programs that guide members through a series of steps or activities. They are great for structured challenges or educational experiences that require member participation over time.
Blog Post
Blog posts are articles that provide rich text content, allowing you to share insights, tips, or stories with your members. They can enhance engagement and provide additional value outside of recipes.
Course
Courses bundle multiple pieces of content into a structured educational experience. They can include recipes, resources, and blog posts, organized into modules and lessons for a comprehensive learning path.
Bite
Bites are lightweight, recipe-shaped items for snacks, drinks, or supplements. They are designed to be tracked alongside recipes in meal plans but do not have a dedicated detail page. Bites include only a title, media, and nutrition information. They appear in the meal plan picker and member library, making it easy for members to incorporate them into their meal planning.
For a detailed walkthrough on creating and managing Bites, refer to the Bites article.
