Overview of Content Types
Member Kitchens offers a variety of content types to help you engage with your members effectively. Here’s a brief overview of each type and how they relate to one another:
1. Recipe
Recipes are detailed cooking instructions that include ingredients, steps, and nutritional information. They are the backbone of meal planning and can be organized into meal plans.
2. Meal Plan
Meal plans organize recipes into a structured format across days and meal types. They allow you to create a cohesive eating strategy for your members, making meal prep easier.
3. Resource
Resources are downloadable materials such as PDFs, documents, or rich content that provide additional value to your members. They can include templates, guides, or educational materials.
4. Journey
Journeys are time-bound programs that guide members through a series of steps or challenges. They are ideal for structured learning or transformation experiences.
5. Blog Post
Blog posts allow you to share articles, tips, and insights with your members. They can be used for educational content or to keep your community updated on relevant topics.
6. Course
Courses bundle multiple pieces of content (like recipes, resources, and blog posts) into a structured learning experience. They are perfect for delivering comprehensive educational programs.
7. Bites
Bites are lightweight, recipe-shaped items that represent snacks, drinks, or supplements. They do not have a detail page and are designed to be tracked alongside recipes in meal plans. Bites include only a title, media, and nutrition information. They appear in the meal plan picker and member library but are not intended for detailed exploration.
For a complete walkthrough on creating and managing Bites, refer to the dedicated Bites article.
