I love platejoy. I've been using it for a little over a year now and it's been amazing to help me plan, especially since I'm always on the go! Their customer service is amazing and someone always replies promptly with any questions or concerns. I'm a proud member of PlateJoy and I love their service!

I'm a long-time user too. I started using it to encourage myself to eat fruits and vegetables at every meal and move toward whole foods and away from processed junk. I stayed with it because it makes my busy life easier. I don't have time to surf for recipes. With Platejoy, I don't have to. I just ask for recipes whenever I want them and, pow, there they are, along with a shopping list! I don't have to slog through the same tired sandwich day after day. I make fresh, homemade options I never would have thought of myself. I love experimenting with different diet plans. I've tried vegan, whole30, paleo, kid-friendly, low FODMAP and probably others. I love the paleo plan now. It's really flexible. I work outside the home, so it lets me plan breakfasts and lunches and snacks I can pack and take with me. My husband likes to handle dinner, so I leave that out of my weekly plan. Anyway, I'm a happy customer and I think it's worth trying.

@lucy_childress Thank you so much, Lucy!!! We loved reading this and really appreciate the time you took out or your busy day to send us your love :) (And congrats on being so adventurous with your plans! Paleo is my favorite too.)

Looks awesome Christina. Gonna recommend Platejoy to a friend who is just learning to cook. Do you have a favorite cookbook for beginners learning the art & science of cooking?
Erik Torenberg
Looks awesome. Can you tell the story behind how this specific product came about?
Christina Bognet
@eriktorenberg Hey Erik! Enjoy your podcasts. I started PlateJoy after losing 50 lbs and wanting to help other eat better. We wanted to make sure we could serve a large audience (not just silicon valley) so expanded beyond our delivery product into a consumer app that everyone can use at their local grocery store. You can still send your ingredient list to Instacart, as mentioned above, but you can just as easily take it to the store with you in a small town in Pennsylvania. We also wanted to focus more on accommodating very specific diets (like low FODMAP for people with stomach issues or prediabetic patients) and have greatly improved the functionality for these users. :)
Erik Torenberg
@cbognet you should come on the podcast sometime!

Great to look up your shopping list for a new menu while at the store, can't wait to Instacart comes to my neighborhood so I can click a couple of buttons and have my whole list delivered.

@chrissherrod I actually just used the Instacart feature for the first time this week - and I think it's great, but one thing that was tricky is not being able to switch to a different grocery store once all the ingredients had been ported over from Platejoy. There are some things that are so expensive at Whole Foods when Safeway has just as good Organics in some departments now.

@krystha_tweets @chrissherrod Thanks guys! @Krystha - we can help with this - our CTO @bluejade will send you a follow-up email. :)

I love love love this service. We had a medical scare with my partner a few months ago. He is diabetic and we had to spend a night in the ER as he was in diabetic keto acidosis. It was a wake up call. Even though I have 20 years + experience in cooking, I was looking for something to help set up healthy meals and make life easy. I was googling different options and stumbled on to PlateJoy. Signed up and the rest is history. There is more verity in the foods, easy to follow delicious recipes, and time saving grocery lists. I recommend this service to any one and everyone. I look forward to my new menu every week.

@audrey_yvonne_mcl Wow, Audrey, this is one of the best reviews I've ever heard. We are extremely honored to have been able to help. All our love and best wishes for health to you and your partner!

PlateJoy is the best thing that I've purchased this year, no question. Before Platejoy my wife and I would spend way too much time planning dinners, we would scan Pinterest for what seemed like hours looking for organic meals that also contained tasty proteins. After we reached the point of "just pick something, I don't care anymore" we would select 4 random recipes that all contained unique ingredients that we would only use once. We would then spend 2+ hours at the grocery store trying to compile the ingredients we needed. This was a horrible painful process that would often result in us eating out 3-4 nights a week. Now we have PlateJoy, and it couldn't be easier. We know exactly what we’re eating for the week and we’re in and out of the grocery store in 20min. The recipes are delicious, healthy and appropriately portioned. I'm 6'0" man that loves to eat and I'm 100% satisfied after eating a PlateJoy Dinner. Seriously my wife and I love this service, WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!

My menu is AWESOOOOOOMEEEEE!!! Thanks team!
Christina Bognet
@itsjawknee COOL! Which plan did you select!?
Kathy Nelson
I love the customization with portion sizes and ingredients. PlateJoy has introduced my family to healthier meals that meet our preferences. The app makes shopping a breeze. I usually use a hand written shopping list and several times have been saved by referencing the app. We have so many new favorites from using Platejoy!
Christina Bognet
@katnels Thank you so much, Kathy!! <3

I've used so many nutrition products and coaches over the past year and almost all of them rely heavily on you downloading an app in order to get good, quality content! I love that PlateJoy is entirely platform independent, and is focused more on helping me do my thing - then doing it for me (aka other services that are more about meal delivery than fitting themselves into my lifestyle). I'll definitely be using this for the next few weeks to see how it goes!
Christina Bognet
@h_moyers Thanks so much for this! Passing on the multi-platform love to @bluejade :) Let us know how it goes.
