So much spam in the comments. Platejoy, hunted by "GaryVee" - 16 glowing reviews all from fake accounts, all who have only ever upvoted PlateJoy. PH obviously allowing it, maybe due to $$$, but it's just so disappointingly obvious. Just thought you should know. This comment will likely be buried.

Congrats on the launch! What do you think is the most misguided dietary advice? Will you please start an advice column? Thanks, Hungry in Hungary

I love this, can't wait to try it for next week's meals. I've tried other meal planning services and they are good but take a lot of tweaking to deal with allergies and picky kids. Plus, the Instacart integration is 💥. One thing to note if you've never tried meal plans or Instacart...despite the costs you often save money in the end due to less food waste and avoiding impulse buys at the grocery store.

Platejoy is one of my favorite apps. I don't push many things, but I recommend this constantly. It's the perfect thing for fitting healthy eating into a busy lifestyle without eating the same thing every day. The redesign makes it even easier to use. Just renewed my membership for the year and can't recommend it enough!

Just to make a suggestion: I could really use this kind of plan, however all options are multiple choice, and therefore is not very tailored to any individual. For example, i have a problem where i cannot eat: nuts, dairy, gluten, dried fruit, and most proteins that are not ocean-based, but there is nowhere in the app for me to explain that. 😟

Hi all, We’re excited to launch our brand new app design (on both iOS and Android!) to make data-driven healthy meal planning easier. We’re all about helping you feel your best through cooking and eating well--without spending hours searching for recipes and making shopping lists. To do this, we use data about your lifestyle, preferences, and goals to design a custom meal plan for you each week. You can take your personalized grocery list to the store, or send it to Instacart with a single click (in 30 cities) for ingredient delivery in an hour. Your recipes scale to the optimal portion size of you + your family members. What’s new: * We’ve re-designed the app UX (let us know what you think!) * We’ve added plans: whole30, ketogenic, low FODMAP, low carb, pre diabetes, and a few others. * We’ve launched a ten-day free trial available to everyone (you should sign up for this on web or mobile web before downloading the app) * We’ve updated our algorithms that remember what you have in your pantry and use ingredients across recipes each week to reduce food waste and save you money. We're super inspired to make eating well and feeling great easier. Would love to answer any questions + thanks for checking it out! -Christina

I love PlateJoy! Makes meals manageable and cheaper. The level of personalization is unlike anything else out there.

How much does this cost?

Looks like a lovely app but a) shame there's that dreaded sign-in wall when first open the app b) also I can't register on my device via the app itself c) I read the privacy policy but it doesn't mention the lifestyle info you guys keep/need on registration. Any plans to revamp the sign-in/sign-up process? Can see you guys losing lots of peeps with it as it is 😳

I was introduced to PlateJoy about a year ago. I needed food ideas that were simple yet tasty. *enters PlateJoy* This app has been a game changer for me. It accommodates my dietary restrictions while offering a variety of meals from all cultures. I get a shopping list and recipes each week and everything is user friendly. Because of PlateJoy, I've prepared things I've never heard of and have enjoyed each bite along the way! Customer service is always helpful and friendly. I'm always so excited to taste what I've prepared and sharing the awesomeness with friends. Do yourself a flavor and give PlateJoy a shot. You won't be disappointed 😋😋😋

PlateJoy is a fantastic app! We have been using it for nearly one year. The app let's you put in your likes, dislikes, goals, menu preferences, etc... It customizes to you. We love the recipes and the shopping list that even lets you add your own items not in the menu is fantastic. It is so easy to use and LOVE.

Returning to work full time after my maternity leave, this meal planning app was just what I needed. I've always enjoyed meal planning, prepping, and cooking- however it was taking away time I no longer had to spare. Fast forward a year later, I am still actively using the app every week to plan delicious, healthy, vegan meals for my family. There are many great features on the app and website- the digital pantry keeps track of ingredients you have, the prepopulated shopping lists, the rating of each recipe allowing the site to learn your tastes and present recipes you will love- however one of my favorite features is that you can say how many people will be eating. For example, I have dinner with my husband every night, but often lunch is just me. Plate joy has a feature where I can put how many people will be eating each meal- it will then adjust the recipes and shopping lists accordingly. I can't recommend this app highly enough!

Yay Keto!

A few products have changed my life so much that I have a hard time remembering how I managed before they came along: Uber is one of them, but PlateJoy is the one I can't live without. It makes eating healthy so easy and cheap that I can't stop recommending it to my friends. Admittedly every couple of months my wife and I do get tired of cooking and give it a rest for a week, but after that one week of eating out we're always eager to get back to the healthy delicious recipes that PlateJoy provides.

How apt is the designed meal plans for different geographies, nationalities and culture?

At the suggestion of my nutritionist I downloaded the app. It's been a fixture in our kitchen for over a year now. We had been eating out most nights but PlateJoy has added a lot of creativity and simplicity to eating home. While I have always been fit, addressing my diet and eating home more frequently has helped me to maintain weight down 15lbs from my prior normal. And, the shopping list/ability to download to Instacart has made the shopping and prep mindless.

I started using PlateJoy because I wanted to become vegetarian and just wasn't sure how to make that full change with my meals and lance nutrition . Their app is so easy to use and the meals are delicious and easy to make. They create shopping list and provide how to videos for some of the cooking list. Someone contacted me right after I signed up to check in and ask if I had any questions and to give me suggestions. This app, the people, and the food are amazing. They have a lot of different meal options. If you aren't vegetarian you should still use it because their other recipes are great too. This has really helped me and I've even lost weight.

I love PlateJoy! There's so much customization available and I love that I feel like I have control over my menu (unlike programs that have just a few options and they send you the ingredients). My husband and I used to hate putting together a meal plan and it'd be a long, drawn-out conversation every week trying to get the other person to do it. This is so simple and can be done in 30 seconds, plus it integrates to instacart so I can get my groceries ordered at the same time. This has been such a timesaver!

I started a healthy weight loss journey at the beginning of 2016 for my wedding that September. I was working out, eating well, and losing weight. About ten pounds from my goal, though, I found myself super bored with the foods I was cooking and unable to lose those last few pounds. I had been a serial pinner on Pinterest but I still fell back into the same dinner routines and grocery store purchases. I stumbled across PlateJoy and signing up was one of the best decisions I could have made. It was incredibly cheap (less than two cookbooks and way more personalized!). It allowed me to select meal plans that were pescatarian (sea + vegetarian) and healthy! It portioned the food out for my fiance and myself, with nutrition guides for both of us. It allowed me to add back in carbs and fats in a healthy way that I had previously been denying myself. The best part though, was they sent the shopping lists to Instacart for my in home shopping convenience. So with a few months left, I made four easy, healthy, exciting dinners with the click of a few buttons in my instacart app each and every week! I easily dropped the weight and felt even more nourished and excited about the foods I was eating. Months after the wedding I am still using my PlateJoy app. It might not be every week I request a new menu, but even on off weeks, I find myself pulling up old recipes I've had on PlateJoy to make. It makes me feel like a professional chef and my husband is certainly happy with the results too :) I have recommended PlateJoy to anyone who will listen, including my sister who just had her first child and is looking for specific healthy meals while still nursing. We signed her up and looked together and they even had dinner recipes for her! Amazing! You really should try it out. You won't regret it.

Listen to me! You will want this to make your life easier! And it's better than any other meal plan apps I've ever tried! I am not one person to be super sales-y at all and in fact it makes me uncomfortable. BUT PlateJoy is my one exception. I'm an active user and actually use it every week! I have tried other meal plans and yes some of them are okay, but here's what I like better about PlateJoy: The personalization. I am a relatively picky eater so it's been a nightmare with other plans, but not PlateJoy. I can exclude every thing I don't like! Then I can choose specific types of meal plans preferences; to mix things up I've gotten to try low sodium, low carb, ketogenic, paleo, clean eating. It even takes into account my preferences on leftovers, type of items (brown or white rice, type of milk, etc.), appliances, and variety. I can change my preferences at any time and choose what stays or goes in my meal queue. You can choose as many and as little days and meals or create two plans the same day and it doesn't upcharge you. After I input the data, it automatically takes account of my preferences for me, organizes my recipes, and provides a shopping list. No fuss. Sometimes I tweak a recipe or double ingredients because I use it for meal prepping. As a very busy person, PlateJoy makes my life easier. It can for you, too! If you're still hesitant, try the free trial! When I did, I stayed on because I was hooked by the personalization, affordability, and convenience.
