5-Star Reviews for A Better Meal

Not only is this a meal planning app, but it’s a gamechanger for saving and then actually using recipes. I love being able to import recipes from Instagram, my favorite blogs, and even take pictures of pages from my cookbooks, and store them all in one place. It is so easy to add ingredients to a grocery list and then send the list to online shopping — and even add the recipes to my meal plan.

@IcebergLasagna

I am a huge fan of this app, it is really helpful especially when I don’t have the bandwidth to plan meals for the family PLUS, it lets me connect my HEB account and send recipe ingredients straight from the app to the grocery store. Definitely a must.

@SeekingEntertainment

I found a meal planning app that really supports my busy life! The customization features have been so helpful and a time saver. I’ve been able to import specific recipes that build on their rich database of meals. Each update to the app keeps getting better and more useful. Thanks A Better Meal for listening to feedback!

FAQ

How does A Better Meal work?

Our new freemium version of the app (always free!) allows you to try a sample meal plan, access 5000+ recipes, import recipes, make a basic grocery list, sample one of the kitchen skills courses, and watch short recipes videos for fun and inspo!

We encourage you to try the full A Better Meal experience with Premium! It’s easy and you get a no-risk 7-day trial - No pressure, no credit card games, just smarter, easier meals. Premium gives you:

Custom meal plans made just for you
Ability to modify your plan anytime
Save and organize your favorite recipes
Unlimited recipe imports — from anywhere
Access to the full library of quick, skill-building kitchen courses
Grocery list sharing + shop online capabilities

Creating custom meal plans is easy with A Better Meal. When you log in the first time to Premium, the app will prompt you to answer a few key questions — including dietary preference (gluten-free, vegetarian, Keto, and more), allergies (peanuts, milk, tree nuts, etc.) and which meals you want in your plan each week, As you add meals, save favorites, and rate recipes, the app refines its suggestions and becomes your personalized kitchen companion.

A Better Meal creates tasty, nutritious customizable meal plans and helps you discover delicious new recipes — with thousands you can make in under 30 minutes. You can also quickly generate your grocery list and export it to grocery shopping apps including Instacart, Walmart, Target, Kroger, and more. Plus, you have full access to classes, sample meal plans and the ability to import recipes, build collections and share favorites.

What makes A Better Meal different from other meal planning services?

A Better Meal stands out because it combines the best of meal planning apps, recipe apps, meal planning services and cooking education, with the ability to personalize your meals to your family’s preferences:

Better Than Meal Delivery Services
Unlike meal delivery kits where you’re limited to pre-selected recipes and fixed schedules, A Better Meal lets you choose your recipes, decide when and how to shop, and enjoy the flexibility of preparing meals your way.

Better Than Recipe Apps
We go beyond just offering recipes by providing weekly meal plans tailored to your unique preferences. No need to sift through endless options — your plan is built around what you love. And you can import recipes from anywhere - even Grandma’s handwritten recipe card.

Better Than Other Meal Planning Apps
We don’t box you into generic plans like vegetarian, keto, or quick meals. Our app creates a personalized meal plan that’s truly tailored to you. It’s not about picking a plan — it’s about having a plan and an app that fits your life.

Features You’ll Love
We offer great features that save time and make life less stressful including:

  • Recipe Importing. Have a favorite recipe from a blog, social media, a cookbook, or your own collection? You can import and curate your recipes seamlessly. Add them to your meal plan or generate a grocery list with a tap — say goodbye to handwritten lists forever.
  • Grocery List Convenience. Once your list is ready, send it directly to your favorite grocery app or email it to yourself, a spouse, or a friend for hassle-free shopping.
  • Cooking Videos That Teach Skills. Our short, technique-focused videos don’t just help you prepare a specific dish — they empower you to learn essential cooking skills, like knife techniques or mastering a sauce, that you can use across countless recipes.

As you can see, A Better Meal is far more than just a meal planning app — it’s your all-in-one solution for delicious, stress-free cooking.

Can I use it for free?

Yes, we have an always-free version.

Do you offer a trial period for Premium?

Yes, we offer a 7-day FREE trial. To start your free trial download the app on the App Store or get it on Google Play.

Do you offer meal plans for specific dietary needs?

We offer hundreds of delicious recipes and customizable meal plans that can align with various dietary preferences, like vegetarian, gluten-free, or heart-healthy.

However, we are not a medically-supervised program, and our meal plans are not designed to meet specific medical or dietician-approved needs. If you have a medical condition or specific dietary requirements, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional or dietitian to ensure our recipes and plans are right for you.

What if I don't like a meal?
Your meal plan is fully customizable as a Premium user. Don't like a recipe? It's easy to remove that recipe and substitute another one. In addition, we provide sample meal plans that you can use including 30-minute meals, kid-friendly meals, vegetarian and more.
What if someone in my family has food allergies?
One of the preference questions is, “Do you or a family member have allergies.” The list includes: eggs, fish, crustaceans/shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, sesame, fruits, milk, and pork.

While we can’t include every food a person may be sensitive to, our list does include the major ones. Once you indicate an allergy, your meal plan will automatically exclude recipes with those ingredients.

When will I receive each meal plan?
Your meal plan is generated automatically, so you have 7 days of planned meals available at any time, making it simple to plan for the week or even further. Each week you'll receive a reminder letting you know that new recipes are available in your meal plan!
