  • An absolute LIFESAVER!!

    As a business owner + mom of a toddler, I have struggled to balance homemaking & work these past few years. Since my time is very limited in this season, I have been working on implementing systems all around to reduce my mental load + be fully present in the role at hand. Meal planning has been one of the “systems” I’ve been trying to nail down, but I recently found myself dreading it & procrastinating by the end of the week.

    I enjoy making new, simple yet healthy recipes for my family, so up ... more

  • This app is a gamechanger for moms!

    I’m so grateful I found this app. I’ve been using it for almost one year now and I truly don’t know how I got through meal prep and planning without it! And having this podcast as an additional resource is so helpful so I can maximize how I use the app and how I plan for my weekly meals and meal prep for my family of 4. The best time saver ever!

  • Just want the planning

    I agree with reviewer MBrown - this is a well-produced podcast (and thankfully no ads cluttering each episode—if you don’t count the entire episode as one giant ad, which is fine). However, I usually only listen to episodes that will help me use the PTE App: How other users are using PTE, meal plan ideas, tips, tricks, instructions, etc. If all the episodes were such—even if they were not posted regularly—I would subscribe.

  • 8+ Year User of Plan to Eat and an RD — love this podcast!

    The Plan to Eat software literally changed my life when I started using it 8 years ago, and as a plant-based registered dietitian, I always recommend it to my clients! This podcast does a great job of bringing the fun of meal planning to an audio format and I always learn something interesting from the guests!
