1- saves time- it’s fast and efficient. I can send the grocery list to the Kroger app if I don’t have time to shop or I can use the list on app to quickly fly through store and get what I need in person, fast. 2-Saves Money- in the clean eating plan (and maybe others) the recipes call for produce that is in season and usually on sale. The recipes call for ingredients and spices that usually already have on hand so I’m only buying the protein and produce I need- no exotic (read expensive) ingredients that hurt my budget 3-saves the waistline- my cooking is consistently healthier using the recipes in the app. Making a healthy weekly meal plan takes maybe 5 minutes and ensures that I will have all the ingredients to stay on track w healthy eating all week. Bonus- new to cooking? Try this. The recipes are simple and you will get faster w every meal you cook. If you can read and follow directions you can cook these meals. Another bonus- the recipes taste great and having a plan encourages my kids to try a variety of veggies and foods we might not otherwise try. When my kids want a break from my “healthy meals” I let them pick a meal from the kid friendly plan and they help me cook it. Do I sound like an ad for emeals? Probably! It’s saved me so much time and money that I love to tell people about it. I’ve been using emeals for years and I love it.

I came back to eMeals after several years after letting my subscription lapse. Boy, am I glad I did. You see, hubby, because of his pre-diabetes, wants to eat “Keto”. I said, okay, even though I didn’t really know that much about making Keto meals. You see, I was under the impression it was all about “meat and green beans or salad”….ugh! But boy was I ever wrong thanks to eMeals. I signed up for the Keto dinner meals for 2. I’ve been using these menus for the past two weeks now and I must admit, these dinners are absolutely DELICIOUS. I can’t believe I’m eating Cauliflower and actually like it - but I do. I like the way you can transfer the recipes directly to your grocery store and still have the option to edit and/or add other items to your cart. I love how I can print out the recipes instead of keeping my IPad in the kitchen. I also love how I can choose from several different Keto menus each week. You know, when it comes right down to it, I can’t really think of anything NOT to love about eMeals. And you know what else??? eMeals even gives you a free two week trial period. I am so glad eMeals reached back out to me - I’m definitely sold on this plan. Give it a try…..you’ll be sold as well!

I use this app for weekly dinners religiously. It has become a must-have tool in my routine and having it synced with my Walmart+ account has been extremely beneficial for time management. The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is that sometimes the app has bugs or has a hard time working with my Walmart+ cart. That’s not a huge deal as I work through the challenge on my on with time, but there are duplicate recipes in the app, which also could be fine, but some of the repeats don’t send the items to the shopping list. Not ideal, and if I didn’t work with apps all the time, I may not hang in there to figure out another way. Final thing, I constantly get ads in the app for things I have already done or don't apply to me. I use Walmart+ regularly and have an account, but I still have to go through many prompts in the app to join the Walmart+ program. Any hoo, it’s a great app overall and works with my planning style perfectly. Minor inconveniences are worth putting up with. (Oh! And I’d love to see some kind of rating for the recipes! It could just be something as simple as votes with stars from the community - no full reviews needed, just a way to indicate when a recipe really slaps among the people that use the app.)
