Mealime Meal Plans & Recipes

I tried several of the leading meal planning apps and nearly all of them required an account to use. I very much appreciate that this app allows you to skip the account creation process. I also appreciate that this app will throw together semi-random plans for you, as I’m indecisive and other apps left me staring at lists of recipes paralyzed by all the options. The only things I’d change is 1. to make the “automatically generate a meal plan” (I think they call it Recommended for you) choice the very first option (you currently have to scroll a bit to get to it) and 2. to have an option to automatically create and schedule a plan for a selected period of time, broken down by meal, for example: you choose X number of days on a calendar and pick that you want breakfast, a snack, and dinner, and the app would dynamically build a plan with a breakfast, snack, and dinner food choice for each day. Otherwise, it’s well worth the $3 a month subscription.

I really am. My fiancé and I have a hard time keeping to a grocery & cooking plan so we end up eating out a lot or food goes bad in the fridge when we forget what we have. This app helps us eliminate the guesswork and go into the week with a solid eating plan. We also just started trying to really cut down on our meat consumption and the vegetarian dishes on this app are so so good!

After a year of using this app, I can confidently say it has been a game changer for me and my family. There are many unique and delicious recipes, and they are constantly adding new ones, all tailored to your dietary preferences. The integrated grocery list and grocery ordering saves me so much time.

I do not often review apps, let alone anything at all. I have got to say this app changed my life. I’m 28 and although I like to cook I’m often paralyzed by figuring out what I want to make and making a shopping list and then all that comes after. I’ve been able to have my fiancé (super picky eater) try so many new things because she trusts that the app and recipes will do a good job. She loves sitting with me and looking through the recipes for the coming week! This app has made my shopping and meal list a 15 minute weekly affair and a fun (crazy I know) experience! I have been cooking so much more and I would pay 5x the amount the pro costs just in order to keep doing Walmart + (highly recommend for the grocery delivery that this app integrated). App developers, thank you SO much for everything you do. - a very happy user

I have used this app now to learn how to cook. It is so easy and walks you through it every step of the way. It will build a grocery list for you and I don’t even have Pro but definitely thinking about it

Meal saver! It is easy to follow, and time saving. From grocery buying to meal prep it has been so easy to use. The food looks just like the pictures and they are so delicious. I do not know how to cook and this has made me enjoy being in the kitchen!

Can I just say this app is hands down the reason why my family could stay on the plant based vegan diet? This app is definitely not exclusive for one diet or the other, but my oh my, this has probably over 100 delicious recipes for let me say it, Vegans. I’m a proud vegan but before I went this route in my life I had no idea what meals to eat, what to buy at the grocery store, it was rough the first week without Mealime. With all the filters for dietary restrictions and preferences this app is a no brainer for ANY diet. If you like eating everything, this app has it, if you eat like we do, a Vegan diet, this app has that. Seriously a god send for anyone trying to cook. I hope this helps and doesn’t deter.

This app has made cooking and meal planning incredibly easy. I can pick recipes, add my own, or pull recipes directly from websites. It automatically compiles all the ingredients into one master grocery list and seamlessly connects with Instacart. I don’t even need to search for items — the list loads automatically, saving me so much time. For the first time in months, I was able to meal prep effortlessly this week. As I cooked and checked my cabinets, I realized I had everything I needed, plus regular-sized ingredients instead of small portions like with meal kits. Now, I have a fully stocked pantry and can make other meals throughout the week. I started with the free version, but after one week, I upgraded to the pro version for only $2.99 a month — totally worth it. It takes the stress out of cooking and meal planning, and I’m excited for future weeks of stress-free meals!

i love this app and use it almost every week however i would like for more customization in the meal plan part to save so much time and brain power if we could choose to include breakfast and snacks and total calories / macro goals for the day 🙏

This is the best meal planning app out there. Really well thought out recipes, it teaches you a bit about cooking, and it’s so great to not have to buy a bunch of weird ingredients every week. Once you have the staple spices, oils and fridge items they show up in different combinations in the recipes, so you get some variety and actually use up the toasted sesame oil. Love it
