Mealime Meal Plans & Recipes 4+

We have been using mealime since 2022. Prior to this app, if we wanted to eat healthier or cook a meal we had to google for recipes, which is sometimes difficult already because you don’t know how to Google foods you’ve never really heard of before. You have to read the whole recipe to see whether or not it was healthy or what ingredients it required. Then we had to manually write down the grocery list of the items we needed and then whenever we were ready to actually cook it we’d have to go find the recipe again and have a laptop out to read the recipe, or if we were lucky, we could print it out, but even then we started hike punching all those recipes and putting them into the binder. The whole process took forever and I don’t think it was really ensuring that we ate healthier. We didn’t always have the time to go through all of that so we would just go to the store and buy the same old pizza, spaghetti, and chicken nuggets.

Now though, we can put in our food preferences, the app automatically shows us all the foods that we could choose. We click it and BOOM grocery list.
Even better if there’s things around the house that we need to get while we’re at the grocery store, like toilet paper, we could just open up the app and add it to the list.
Meal seriously makes everything so simple. My wife and I have had stable weight now. We eat a better variety of foods that sometimes we don’t even envy going out to eat.

I can’t recommend this app enough! It has everything you want in a meal planning app: options for food preferences and allergies, endless variety of delicious and nutritious meals, automatic grocery lists with the ability to add your own groceries and check off what you already have, options for grocery delivery, budget friendly meal options, easy meals instructions, and the ability to import recipes from other sites or add in your own recipes from scratch. I’ve been using this for about a month and have not yet eaten the same meal twice. I particularly love that each instruction includes ingredient measurements so you don’t have to keep switching back and forth between views.

It can make grocery shopping a bit more time intensive if you’re not used to shopping for certain ingredients or do your own own self checkout (particularly for produce that doesn’t have barcodes), but it’s 100% worth it. This app completely eliminates the mental load of deciding what’s for dinner but without the waste and cost of subscription meal boxes. I love knowing that I have all the ingredients needed for the meals, and I’m not wasting as much food. The only thing I wish this app could do is sync to my partners phone so they can see the meal plans and shopping lists on their own app, but it’s not a big since you can also share those via a text/email option.

My friend recommended that I start using Mealime for meal planning, and I’ve never looked back! There’s so many good things about this app- tasty recipes and the grocery list make life so much easier. We used to struggle with figuring out what to make for dinner, but not anymore! Now we always have the groceries on hand that we need for our recipes. We bought the pro version because we love it so much. We also have 3 kids and they approve of a lot of these recipes. My 6 year old son likes to help us pick the meals.

Some improvements I can think of are having slow cooker or instant pot recipes. A lot of the recipes have lots of steps and I have gotten a little weary of making “fancy” meals. It may just be the meals that I pick, but I’ve only found a few truly easy meals. And after we bought the pro version I was expecting to be able to modify a meal plan whenever I wanted without having the grocery list reset- I would love it if this could be a feature. Sometimes I don’t want to redo the whole meal plan- I just want to add another meal to my already delicious plan! More allergy free recipes would be nice- one of my friends has a son with multiple allergies and when she put all of those in to avoid it left her with very few options.

I’ve recommended this to many friends and will continue to do so! Thank you for making our life so much easier. ❤️
