Planning meals and grocery shopping can be a quite a chore. Fortunately, there are some great apps available that utilize artificial intelligence (AI) and other smart features to make meal planning efficient and easy. Here are some of the top meal planning apps that I have reviewed to consider using.
Mealime is one of the most popular AI-powered meal planning apps. It provides fully planned, personalized meal plans each week based on your food preferences and nutritional needs. Mealime’s algorithm learns your taste and diet over time to refine its recommendations. The app also generates grocery lists and provides step-by-step recipes for each meal making meal time fun.
PlateJoy requires you to fill out a questionnaire about your dietary needs and preferences initially. It then generates weekly meal plans and corresponding grocery lists tailored specifically for you. As you rate recipes, PlateJoy’s AI continues to learn and improve its recommendations. The app provides simple, healthy recipes with detailed nutrition information for the entire family.
MealBoard makes it easy to drag and drop recipes into a weekly calendar to visualize your meal plan. It uses AI to learn your food preferences and dietary needs over time and suggest recipes it thinks you’ll like. MealBoard also optimizes grocery lists by letting you add items you already have at home. I found this to be most convenient.
PlantJammer app offers a unique AI-powered approach to meal planning. Just tell PlantJammer what ingredients you have on hand and it will generate creative recipes using those items. You can refine recipes further by setting parameters like cooking time, cuisine, nutrients etc. It takes the thinking out of meal planning. This was actually very fun to user with the whole family.
These apps showcase how AI and other smart technologies can simplify, optimize, and personalize meal planning. I found them fun to use so beneficial. Give one of these meal planning assistants a try next time you’re menu planning and grocery shopping!
