It’s no secret that planning ahead is the key to avoiding processed food. But the job of figuring out what to make, writing out the shopping list, and suiting everyone in your family’s dietary preferences can be a dreaded task. So we’re excited to share with you a new (to us) meal planning service that provides it all, specifically tailored to what you are looking for: PlateJoy!
About PlateJoy
PlateJoy, the sponsor of today’s post and giveaway (see below!), sends you a short (3 minute) quiz about your personal preferences so they can provide you with personalized recipe suggestions and coordinating shopping lists. For example,
- Are you vegetarian?
- Not a fan of shellfish, soy, or perhaps peanuts?
- Following the Whole30 diet?
- Don’t eat red meat?
No problem. You can note this in your quiz, and your recipes will support these dietary preferences. You can even provide input on how long you want meals to take to cook, whether you do or don’t like leftovers, if you want recipes for breakfast, lunch, or even snacks, and more!
Once your personalization is set, you can start to create new menus. PlateJoy offers recipe suggestions, but you can adjust it as desired. For example, say that:
- You know next Tuesday is going to be super busy, so you want a meal that can be thrown into your slow cooker.
- Or you have a bunch of spinach from your garden that you want to use.
No problem. You can search by preferences such as “slow cooker” or “spinach,” and it will offer related recipes. I love that their system also focuses on using similar ingredients throughout the week, thus lowering your shopping bills and also minimizing waste.
Other benefits of PlateJoy:
- The system keeps stock of staples that you have on hand in your pantry from past meal plans, so you’re only buying what you need.
- Nutritional information is provided.
- Shopping lists are available on mobile devices and in a printable format. And you can add additional ingredients to this list to help keep you organized.
- You can also have ingredients delivered via Instacart in these areas (note: additional delivery fee applies).
This video offers a wonderful overview of just how well PlateJoy works.

Slow Cooker Chicken Banh Mi
Just started trying to lose weight and be generally healthy. Would love help from Platejoy!
I would love to try platejoy because sometimes I’m pressed for time and also feeling uninspired in the kitchen! These meal plans would help with both.
First time Grandparent/caregiver to a 22 month old and would love ideas to start her off right to a lifetime of healthy eating.
My family is excited to try this out.
Thank you for sharing! Odd that a giveaway contest is only open to the continental parts of the US. Is something going to be shipped? Alaska is technically on the same continent as the lower 48…
Would love to try this- we have three young children and planning meals every week is exhausting. Having healthy meals planned for me- what a blessing!!!
I would love this! Trying to cook and eat healthier for myself, my husband and 4 children and never know what to make.
This I something that I definitely would like to try. I work long and at odd hours, so cooking is a challenge. I hope that platejoy will help me streamline grocery shopping and cooking for myself.
I would love to try PlateJoy! I am trying really hard to find healthy, delicious meals that my whole family loves while sticking to a budget.

This sounds amazing! My family of six loves trying new recipies, and meal planning is definitely an area we could use some help in. I feel like I spend way too much on groceries, and I end up throwing out more stuff then I want to admit. A little direction would be awesome.
I would really like to give this service to my friend who has cancer, stage 3 melanoma, and her family of 6 (four kids under 6) who is under a mound of medical bills to get treatment and on strict diet to keep from “feeding” the cancer. I know it’s been tough to feed the whole family mainly because of the side effects of the treatment but also because of trying to get the whole family eating the same while having the energy to actually cook meals! Anyway, if there’s a way to do this on her behalf I would LOVE it!

We are living with my in-laws and meal planning for the 8 of us is hard! We would love to try this!
Would help tremendously with working full time and having two little ones to care for.

I would love to try platejoy because I am all about using the ingredients I have on hand so that I am not being wasteful. I also am cooking for 1 person with 3 jobs, so the option for planning around a busy schedule is fantastic!
I’m so bad at planning! This would be great!
