Start with a 3-day free trial. — WHAT SAZU DOES — • Personalized weekly meal plan Tell us your goal, body stats, and dietary preferences. We build a 7-day menu that hits your calorie and macro targets exactly, every day. • Smart grocery list with real prices One tap turns your week into a shopping list, organized by aisle, with real prices from your local supermarkets so you know what the week will cost before you go. • Recipes you'll actually cook Every meal includes precise ingredient amounts, cooking times, temperatures, and texture cues.
