I have been using PlateJoy for the past 6 months or more and absolutely love it!! It is incredibly easy to use and they are constantly adding new features and acting on feedback from users. Everyone is super responsive and goes above and beyond in emailing extra suggestions. Some of my favorite features include:
-The ability to exclude certain ingredients from recipe searches - as a picky eater it can be hard to search for healthy meals online. Plus they offer great suggestions for substitions as an alternative to excluding ingredients.
-You can choose recipes that allow for left-overs or just for single meals - it can be hard cooking for one to not have a crazy amount of leftovers or eat over the size out of a big bowl, but all the ingredients and nutrition information are already calcuated for a perfectly sized single meal.
-The site keeps track of the ingredients in your pantry to help you use them up and save money.
Overall, I would highly recommend PlateJoy. The cost is a great deal, customers are highly values, and it adds excitement to meal planning and eating healthy.
@sweetpealam Thank you SO much for this, Layne! Really appreciate it.

PlateJoy has been such an asset to me since going back to work after maternity leave. I have always enjoyed planning and preparing meals for my family, however my meal planning and prepping was taking up time I no longer had. PlateJoy saves me so much time by picking out my meals and preparing my grocery list. One of my favorite features is the digital pantry- PlateJoy keeps track of what you already have and takes that into account when preparing your grocery list. Another bonus is how quickly i can get someone from PlateJoy to answer any of my questions.
PlateJoy is a neat idea. Very well executed. I would prefer an option to choose low-carb+vegan option or low-glycemic + vegan option. That wasn't an option now, despite that I loved how much @platejoy has simplified the choice.
@_nehajain@platejoy Hi Neha - we can support vegetarian + low carb, but getting enough protein and fat on a low carb diet that doesn't allow animal products is tough. Hope to have it someday soon. Alternatively, you can select our vegan plan and omit pasta + bread via our exclusion ingredients. In that case, you'll rarely see more than 50g of carbs in any recipe and most of the carbs are coming from fruits and vegetables.

the "how is works" is too hard to find. felt forced to put an email. was disturbing. without all the raving here in PH would've closed the page in 5 seconds.
@lanahelene Hey Lana! If you select the "low carb" plan, you'll see a question about how many carbs per meal you'd like to stay under (total carbs vs. net carbs, though, so I'd go a little higher). Beyond that, you can set calorie goals or enter your weight/activity level/gender and we'll optimize for you.

I love PlateJoy! I've used it for almost every meal for the past 6 months and have recommended it to several friends and family. Meal planning is super customizable for your preferences. We're vegan and have three kids age three and under, so no free time, and it has been a lifesaver for us. My favorite things about PlateJoy:
- saves lots of time I used to spend meal planning and creating grocery lists each week
- recipes are quick and include only the most essential ingredients
- amazingly, everything is tasty. Once, we loved a recipe so much we immediately made it again and brought it to a potluck that same day.
- great customer service. I receive a farm share and want to use certain ingredients each week. I reached out to see how I could do that with PlateJoy and heard back almost immediately.
- has helped us cut WAY down on takeout and frozen Trader Joe's food. I am 6 weeks postpartum, so this is no small feat.
- it's fun and exciting to see what your new recipes will be each week
Can't wait to see how PlateJoy evolves!

I love PlateJoy! My husband and I used to have weekly arguments over making a menu for the week because we have very different tastes. PlateJoy takes the argument out of it entirely. I love that we can restrict the things we don't want and can add favorite meals to our weekly plan. It's so easy to use and discover amazing recipes.

I love the efficiency that PlateJoy adds to my life. Been a customer from the very first weeks the App came out. Being able to plan out my week in a few minutes and know exactly what I need to buy from the store to get it done. The cost is worth the convenience that PlateJoy adds. It's added significant variety to my weekly meals and definitely saved me money in the long-run. Can't wait for new features!
