PlateJoy 

Platejoy is a fantastic resource for those wanting a very flexible healthy menu for their week.

My wife and I have been using PlateJoy for 6 months, and we have been very pleased with our subscription. We are finally eating the healthy foods we want to eat, and it has allowed us to cook one thing that everyone can have because it accounts for food sensitivities our kids have. The name of the program is appropriate, because we get Joy out of the food on our Plate. I've recommended this to so many people. It may not be for everyone. If "recipes" aren't really your thing, you may not like it. One of the things I like best is that it recommends a set of recipes, and you can always trade out something you don't want to eat. It makes the decision binary instead of open-ended. If you're looking for a way to streamline meal planning in your home. I would highly recommend PlateJoy. The people at PlateJoy are also very responsive. I've recommended all sorts of enhancements to make PlateJoy even better, and I always get a response from their customer service.

We use platejoy almost every week. We tell all of our friends to get it. Great for healthy cooking at home. The customizations are intuitive.

I love the Platejoy app and use it almost every week. It is extremely customizable and convenient to use with instacart. I also like that they added an option for batch meals and that you can use up remaining items in your pantry. The only bad thing I’ve noticed is that the total calories at the end of the day don’t always line up with my goal settings. It seems that if you over customize or swap meals out, calorie settings go out the window. Otherwise, PlateJoy has been great for meal prep and getting new ideas.

Outstanding service at a reasonable price. Very happy with this subscription!

Delicious recipes, easy meal planning for busy families, and great help/support from the chefs if you have questions.

I really like all the features, but the recipes are really really boring. It seems like if you select many of the healthy options (that still include meat), you're just eating a seared meat + vegetable or rice based dish. I'd like to see more complex and interesting meals in order to continue to subscribe.

PlateJoy completely removed the "mental burden" of being the shopper and chef for my family. I love that I can customize the ingredients to those my family likes (and especially doesn't like), so most of the meals I make are actually eaten by everyone, even the kids. Customizing whether I have leftovers or not is also huge. I'm saving a lot on my grocery bills because I only buy what I need, and we use what I buy. I can even go into my settings and change the kind of meals from traditional to more exotic so there's always something exciting to make and eat. Finally, I've actually learned new cooking techniques using the recipes provided, so I'm a much more confident cook. Thanks, PlateJoy!

They have lots of customization options so you can get exactly the kind of food you're looking for (different diets, blacklisting of ingredients, etc). The recipes are also in-depth, easy to make, and they all taste great (even to a picky person like me). There's also lots of variety, so you won't be repeating the same dish. However if you want, it saves your previous menus so you can look back on your favorite recipes and make them again.

PlateJoy takes the stress out of meal planning. Unlike other services I’ve tried, they have a ketogenic plan. This allows us to eat the foods that best fit our lifestyle! The recipes are always DELICIOUS and our four kids look forward to “what PlateJoy says to eat” each day. :-D

Very convenient and easy to use meal planning app. I like that meals can be changed easily. I also like that it does not need to be a weekly meal plan—you can make a new menu every day. So you can shop just for the next 3 days, make the meals, and make a new menu. The “pantry” feature also helps you use what you already have on hand. This app saves time and money. The meals are very flavorful as well!

I LOVE PlateJoy! This app has been a great tool for me. I've been needing to lose weight, but diets aren't my thing. PlateJoy introduced me to new recipes that I could eat to be healthy, while keeping my family happy. I've used their grocery list to help keep more fruits and veggies in my fridge, and make sure I'm eating them!

The m bus match my food preferences, the number of people I’m cooking for and the amount of time to want to spend cooking. Except for 2 meals, the food has been delicious. Best of all, I’m trying new things and eating healthier!

Plate Joy is easy to use on a cell phone, tablet or pc. I have used it for the last several months to make meals. Some of the highlights is using food already in your kitchen to make simple recipes (or complex if it's your preference). Plate Joy has saved me a lot of time searching and shopping for healthy delicious food for me and my daughter. I hope they eventually partner with Shipt in addition Instacart to upload and purchase groceries.

Since I signed up for PlateJoy, I have not had to ask myself "what do I make for dinner tonight?" I love to cook, and I don't mind shopping for ingredients, but coming up with a variety of healthy and tasty recipes week after week is hard work. Or WAS hard work. I love how my weekly menu minimizes food waste, introduces me to new ingredients and cooking methods and even saves me grocery money. Can't recommend this service enough!

I have never been creative in the kitchen. With Plate Joy, I am creating nutritious, low-fat meals that my family loves! I finally enjoy cooking. Plus, it's easy to use, and I am not wasting food. Plate Joy is just what it says it is...a joy!

This is so easy to use and the recipes are great! I especially like the fact that I can change a recipe for something else if I am not going to use the one chosen for us.

Love it! The price was a little scary at first but I decided to give it a try. I love the customization tools that I can use to add or subtract preferences. I can pick between traiditional meals or exploratory meals that break me out of my habits. I get tired of eating the same things and this app really helped me change up the boring routine of how many ways to cook a chicken breast! I really like that it creates a list of ingredients for me that I can double check what is in my pantry and what I really need at the store. It syncs with Fitbit so that’s quite the bonus. I find typing in ingredients one by one to be really tidious!

I've used most of the meal ingredient services and they've been fine. Except for the occasional late delivery and fewer meal type selections than I'd like.

I've never minded shopping much, it's meal planning that I dread, coming up with new meals and old favorites for each week. PlateJoy has solved that problem for me.

PlateJoy has a wide selection of diet types, Mediterranean, Low Carb, Diabetic, Keto, etc. You can tailor how many meals you want each week instead of having to select one plan from a delivery service.

I'm using the Keto meal plan and I've enjoyed all the recipes I've chosen. If there's a recipe that doesn't look good, it's easy to swap it for something else.

There are no deadlines on when you create menus for the new week or dangers of forgetting to cancel a week when it's not needed. The program takes into account what you already have in your pantry and tries to group the week's meals so that there is no wastage of ingredients.

Once you've created your menu for the week, PlateJoy creates a shopping list, grouped into departments. You can then print it off or check off items using the phone app. Or, if you do want to avoid shopping yourself, you can ship the whole list over to Instacart and have the ingredients delivered to your door. The convenience of a meal delivery service without worrying about shipping.

I've found their customer service to be friendly and responsive when I've had questions.

I'm really enjoying the service and find it much more flexible than services that ship food in icepacks. Highly recommended if you enjoy cooking but dread planning the meals.

Excellent meal planner, yummy food, easy to navigate. Easy to customize meal preferences, easy to see and to plan choices. Saves money too!
