Meet Platejoy

Healthy eating shouldn’t be a full-time job. Often times healthy eating goes “bye-bye” because coming up with new and tasty recipes takes too much time AND we lose interest because we fall into the ‘same thing every night” rut. PlateJoy makes it easy to eat well, your way.

When you sign up for the Spring Challenge, we will give you 10 days of custom meal planning FREE to help achieve your goals!

  • PlateJoy members fill out a survey about their eating habits, dietary preferences (from vegan to Paleo and everything in between), allergies, fitness goals and schedule.
  • PlateJoy’s algorithms use 50 difference data points about you to create an ultra-personalized menu (rather than a one-size-fits-all plan)
  • PlateJoy creates a personalized menu of healthy recipes and sends weekly grocery lists - unique to you and the way you want to eat.

PlateJoy has been featured in The New York Times, Self, Vanity Fair, The Boston Globe, Inc., and on the Today Show as the “best for custom cooking.” Check out their website, www.platejoy.com.

Once the challenge starts, we will send you a link to our BYB/BYHS page at PlateJoy. You can sign up for your FREE 10 Day Trial at that time.
