Plan to Eat is the most functional and flexible meal planning app available, and here are the top reasons why you should choose it as your meal planning app. 

Save recipes from anywhere

The app and website have recipe clipper extensions that can save recipes from all over the web and social media right to your account. You can finally save those Instagram and Pinterest recipes all in one place, so you can actually make them!

Drag and drop meal planning

Your meal plans are fully customized by you, so they’ll fit your schedule. And if something changes, it’s easy to drag and drop your recipes to new days. 

Organized and consolidated shopping list

Your shopping list is automatically generated with the ingredients from your meal plan. Then your list is organized by categories that can match your favorite grocery store. Matching items automatically merge for a clean, consolidated list.

One account gets you access anywhere

You can download the Plan to Eat app on all your devices and even share an account with your household! If you prefer a desktop version, you can log in to the same account at plantoeat.com.

Cooking-friendly recipe view

With Plan to Eat, you don’t have to wade through ads and pop-ups on recipe sites with the Cooking View. This view gives you a step-by-step view of your recipe’s directions and ingredients and keeps your screen awake while you cook. 

Update recipe servings on any recipe

Change how many people your recipes serve, and the ingredient amounts will adjust too. You’ll always know exactly how much you need!

Send your list to a local store for pickup or delivery

You can send your finalized shopping list to a grocery store in your area for pickup or delivery right from the Plan to Eat app. 

Organize your recipes however you like

The recipe book in Plan to Eat allows you to create custom categories for your recipes including course, main ingredient, and cuisine. You can also add tags to recipes to give them a second level of organization. 

Support a small business

Plan to Eat is an independently owned and operated small business. They have a full-time support team that will help you with technical issues as well as answer questions about planning and using the app effectively. This company strives to put its customers first and create a product that people actually want to use.

Single-tier pricing 

Unlike other apps, with Plan to Eat, your subscription includes every feature. You don’t need to decide which features matter most to you because you get them all with one subscription! 

You can try Plan to Eat for free with a 14-day trial. No payment info is required at sign-up, so there’s nothing to remember to cancel. Download the app for iOS or Android, or go to plantoeat.com
