We were looking for a meal plan option with last waste but this basically charges you for recipes. Without more tools, none of these actually made it to our table. For $8 a month and cancel anytime, I... See more

Highly Recommended
PlayeJoy fits perfectly into our lifestyle. We cook most of our meals at home, and PlateJoy is a great resource we can use to get new recipe ideas. It also allows us to tailor what recipes they suggest based on dietary needs/goals, specific ingredients, and also how much time we have available to prepare each recipe.
Their support team, chefs, and even the CEO are email accessible, and check-in occasionally to see how things are going.
Great company, Highly recommended!
All good things!
I really enjoy PlateJoy. I appreciate the level of customization that you don’t get with other programs, and they make it easy to shop and cook for one, which has been an issue in the past. I’d highly recommend this for anyone trying to eat healthier.
Solid recipes
Solid recipes, great variety, incredible levels of flexibility and customization, fair price for the value.
I am very happy with PlateJoy
I am very happy with my PlateJoy subscription. PlateJoy has helped me get out of the rut of cooking my same standard recipes, and is easy to adjust for diet preferences and the number of people being served. I had tried several meal delivery services, and have found Platejoy to be more budget friendly and flexible. After I select our menu the app checks for ingredients I already have in my pantry and then creates my shopping list. The app is quite impressive and there is great customer support. Most of the recipes have been innovative and have turned out well, with the exception of a few glitches in measurements and cooking instructions when adjusting serving sizes.
PlateJoy = Legitimate Joy!
I am so glad I gave PlateJoy a chance! I was looking for something to simplify my menu planning and cut back on the amount of time I spent cooking, and I came across PlateJoy in researching recommendations. I was excited to find that there was a free 10 day trial, so I gave it a shot. After the first week, I was hooked, so I decided to purchase my subscription. I've been using it for nearly 2 months now, and I am still really excited about it. I don't normally stick to any routine or form habits well at all, so I know PlateJoy is something special given that I use it on a daily basis for multiple meals. I love the ease and have been surprised at the flavors the recipes have produced. I'm cooking more now than I was previously and am truly enjoying it again. Unlike most of the other online meal planning options I looked at, this one comes with breakfast, lunch and snack recipes automatically. I find that really valuable! It's so fun to plan out menus each week, and the functionality both on a computer and in the app is wonderful and simple to navigate. The shopping list and pantry feature (the ability to track items you already have on hand) have helped me tremendously. Plus, I feel exponentially better and healthier eating every meal I've made. There are just so many rock star features that make PlateJoy a legitimate joy! I would gladly, highly, and without reservation recommend PlateJoy to anyone!
I really love all the menu options that…
I really love all the menu options that allow me to cater to all my family and friend's dietary needs when I prepare meals for them. I really love the "check your pantry" option when I'm preparing my grocery list so I can easily use the things I already have. The meals I've chosen have been relatively easily made and very flavorful! PlateJoy saves me so much time! I really love that! I really like all the choices available and being able to switch meals in the middle of the week as our schedules change and guest are added to our table! I also love their quick responses when I have questions and their follow up emails!
Not enough recipe choices at all
Not enough recipe choices at all. Haven’t been using it after first couple weeks because I’m not liking hardly anything that pops up and don’t like choices it gives me to swap with.

The most customizable meal planner!
The most customizable meal planner out there. I was able to put in dairy free, pescetarian, and mark off a bunch of foods I dislike. This app gave me tons of options that were all delicious! Highly recommend!
Love this app
Love this app! The customization tools that are available as well as the good options given are amazing! I love how the app functions with Instacart to have your food delivered. The recipes are even tailored to fit your busy schedules and easy to make. My only suggestion is more variety in meals. I feel like I have been getting similar type meals lately and I want something different. Maybe choosing from a large scale for the week would be better. Over all great app! I got some friends hooked too. Really gets you cooking and eating so many new things.
Awesome app
Awesome app, great selection of recipes that fit my lifestyle.
Convenient and easy to use!

I had tried several of the meal delivery services, and I was a little dissatisfied with each one I tried. I like to cook and I know what ingredients I like. I just need something to help me come up with ideas about what to cook and to help me organize so I don’t waste food. Then I heard about PlateJoy. PlateJoy is exactly what I was looking for. I can customize how many meals, whether I want to eat vegetarian or Mediterranean. I can plan on using up ingredients I already have on hand. Platejoy has made meal planning so much faster and easier and I tell all my friends they have to try it.
LOVE this app! Saves time, reduces waste!
This app is the BEST meal planning app that I’ve tried and I’m no longer looking for a better one! I love the vast majority of recipes and the variety is excellent. Because we shop for ourselves (you can use instacart) there is much less packaging waste than the meal subscriptions. Generating the shopping list is super easy and I love that it asks you about what you already have on hand, before finalizing the list. My husband and I food shop on Sunday afternoons. I plan our meals and generate the shopping list in the five minute ride to the store!!! Love it!!!
Wish i had found this app earlier
Wish i had found this app earlier! My family would have eaten better. I am not a planner, not a great cook. I tried food delivery but it was cost prohibitive. I found this and am delighted. Easy one stop place i go each week to plan meals, get an accurate shopping list and easy to follow recipes. I am shocked how little I actually need when grocery shopping. I used to wander and just pick things out, especially the sale items, then come home and realize i had one meal and a bunch of snacks.
This has been amazing! Very inexpensive!

The best customizable meal planning available, with unlimited options for every dietary need.

This is a fabulous app! The menu options are delicious and diverse. I have got to try al sorts of new recipes. I would recommend 100%!

I have been using this application for about two-and-a-half months and it has made a significant difference in my life.. as a single person having a varied diet was a challenge not anymore.. I love platejoy and have shared it with my doctor and Friends..
PlateJoy provides tasty meals and is a huge time saver
PlateJoy has helped me save hours of time in planning menus, and shopping. I'm the cook in our household, work full time and help my wife take care of my 95 year old father.
PlateJoy helps me to quickly plan tasty meals with easy to follow recipes that even Dad likes to eat. The meals are healthy as well. Following my profile preferences, the suggested meals have allowed my wife and I to both lose over ten pounds each.
The interface to a shopping service allows me to have the ingredients delivered to the house on those crazy busy weeks, but I can print the shopping list out or order the ingredients from a store that has a pickup service. The best of all options depending on the week.
I've been using PlateJoy about 3 months and plan to use them every week.
Loving PlateJoy
Loving PlateJoy! I have tried other meal planning and because of food intolerances in our family found they were more work to modify than was worth it. I love that PlateJoy customizes your plan to eliminate foods that you don't want to or can't eat. The whole family agrees the meals are 5/5. For the most part they are simple to prepare and we have been introduced to foods I wouldn't normally cook with. Only thing I would add is that if you are a processed food junkie it may not be for you. However, if you want to start eating healthier with "yummy" recipes, it's a great fit!
Plate Joy, the best meal help you can get
Plate Joy has completely changed the way we eat and shop, for the better. It has amazing customization to suit just about anyone and any diet including, e.g., that I make lunch just for myself about 3 days a week but my husband and I eat dinner together 2 days week and that he eats more than me. Then after deciding on recipes, none of which have ever been a failure, it makes such an easy shopping list based on what we have and don't have in the pantry/fridge. It is the ease of a meal service but also some flexibility AND you can do your own shopping, which cuts down on packaging waste and shipping waste, AND it also optimizes recipes to minimize food waste. There isn't anything I would change about Plate Joy. It really is the best meal help you can get.
