Great Vegan Meal Plan

This is a fabulous vegan meal plan. If you are interested in eating plant based/vegan, then this is the meal plan app to get. Lindsay’s recipes are easy to fix and taste delicious.

Delicious Recipes!

No other vegan meal planner has recipes as yummy, culturally diverse, and easy to follow as Meal Mentor. It’s such a relief to have my meals planned out and organized knowing that I’m going to feast on great meals all week.

Highly recommend

I’ve been a subscriber for years and I love it! The app is easy to use and the recipes are excellent. For anyone wanting to be vegan, I highly recommend subscribing. It’s how I learned to be vegan.

Well tested recipes

Meal Mentor gives you tested recipes that are clearly written and easy to execute. I highly recommend this app. The Happy Herbivore makes light work of dietary restrictions.

Last Night the Meal Mentor Saved My Life!

Haha, all kidding aside, Meal Mentor (and this app) will save your days and nights from wondering what in the heck you’ll be eating! You’ll know the answer because you’ll be organized, prepped, and ready to eat the most delicious, easy to make, and nutritious vegan meals around! Seriously, this program and app will have you cooking like a vegan/WFPBNO pro in no time! Don’t delay, just download now! Meal Mentor will have you saving time and money, and all with a happy and satisfied belly 😋

There’s Potential | submitted issues with no resolution

On multiple occasions I reached out to support with issues that I had come across which made the app a pain to use. One example was ingredients for sauces not populating in the shopping list until you have opened each individual recipe. I sent a screen recording to Scott and he was quick to respond. However, it has been over a year with no fix or updates to the app. Super disappointing because this has the potential to be a blockbuster app for those wanting a quick and easy vegan meal plan. I was able to find another app with a better user experience. Until they invest some time and possibly money into this app, I unfortunately won’t be a return customer.

Frustrated!

I absolutely love these recipes and I’m successfully losing weight but the app has so many issues that have been around since it’s launch. I would think that these issues would have been addressed and corrected. This has the potential to be so much more than it is so that’s where my frustration lies. When I open the app it crashes once or twice. When it finally stops crashing it takes 5 minutes to fully open to where I can see all of the ingredients for the recipe. If I want to save a recipe as a favorite I click on the heart but it can take 10 seconds for it to acknowledge that and add it to my favorites. I also wish there was a way to add my own notes to the recipes I try. The glitches in the app are so frustrating and I really hope these can be addressed and corrected soon because I want to continue my subscription.

Love it!

I’ve used Lindsay’s meal plans on and off for many years and was so happy when she made an app! Her plans and this app have always helped me get back on track with being healthy and plant-based when I need it. I also find the app to be very easy to navigate with helpful features. Very thankful!

Inconsistent

The app itself is okay. The grocery list doesn’t aggregate common ingredients, which is annoying. The bigger problem is the meal plans are sometimes sent out for the wrong week/repeated.

It could be so amazing if only...

After using this app on and off for a few months now, these are my thoughts. Food is an amazing 5 stars and the app is at best 2. This would make the app 5 stars and better showcase the incredibly delicious recipes, that are being completely overshadowed by a poorly functioning app.
*ability to write our own personal notes on each recipe page.
*allow recipes to be swapped out for others in recipe box and moved around on the menu page. Therefore the ability to customize the weekly menu.
*grocery list listing the total amount for each ingredient, not listing the same ingredient multiple times.
*the ability to rate recipes.

Quarantine Saver

I’ve been a meal mentor member for five years and I’ve used this app on and off when I’m home and not traveling. With the shelter in place I have put this app to the true test and used it for the last 45 days and I am so thankful that I’m not stressing about what to cook or what I need from the store. The menu is delicious and flavorful. Best part they are simple and not complicated. Thanks Happy Herbivore.

Needs to sync between devices

So my wife and I can collaborate on meal plans. What one of us selects/checks on one device should replicate to the other.

Disappointing

This app is terrible which is surprising as I know Lindsey is so smart and takes such pride in her work.

A Lifesaver

I am astonished at all of the negative reviews... there are a few tweaks here and there that would make the app itself perfect, like the option of including the “slimming” version or gluten free of recipes in the grocery list, having the meal that you selected for the week from previous weeks in one section and able to click on. The content is unbeatable and you cannot find it anywhere else. Meal Mentor is the only way I have ever lost 70 pounds without feeling deprived and it’s truly saved my life. You get use to how the meal plans work and it becomes second nature after awhile. I think the negative reviews are from people who are impatient and maybe not the most tech saavy. Keep putting these meal plans out they are great and I can’t wait to see where the app goes from here!

Difficult to navigate

I’ve been a member for almost two years. Was excited about the app when it was ready to launch. However I don’t even use it now because it is so frustrating and difficult to navigate. I press on a recipe, things don’t save to the grocery list and I’m constantly having to go back and find what I looking for. So I just stopped using it. Wish MM would update and work on it. I dropped my subscription. There is a absolutely ZERO coaching/ mentoring anymore. It’s not the program I paid for. I feel that I have been ripped off this last year. Too bad it was a thriving community and mentor program before.

Like it, but have suggestions

I love all the meals. I love how the recipes are there. I love how you can choose family or individual still. However I would like to add to things or suggestions. The first suggestion is to have this app linked up with apples health app so that the data of things that are being eaten can be included in your overall health data collection. The second thing I would like to add is that I have trouble using when I do a grocery shop and I get home, I want to look up the recipe but I have to then going to search to find the recipe that about the groceries for so. So I’m either I’m not using this app efficiently or there could be a minor tweak. Thank you for all that you have done and set up for us who are still trying to figure out how to eat healthy even on a vegan diet. ❤️ Absolutely love your leadership!

A Lot To Be Desired!

You would think an app would be an upgrade to a subscription service, but this app is so basic and glitchy that is was actually a downgrade. Also, I believe Lindsay Nixon and her husband are no longer spearheading the company. Lindsay was very passionate and concerned about quality, and her positive motivation was contagious, but she seems non existent now and so does the quality.

Login???

I just downloaded this app it wants me to login, but it doesn’t show where I can sign up for an account. You can only login if you have an account. So I guess I will be deleting this app.

Buggy to the point I can’t use

I was open to using an app for this service, but this app has not impressed. The shopping list will not save ingredients from other weeks if you want to customize your menu using meals from previous weeks, and it seems to have problems saving the previous recipes you’ve selected so you have to write it all down anyway. That completely defeats the purpose of this service as it was advertised. Users have also requested enhancements (like being able to add other items to the shopping list like shampoo, paper towels, etc or aggregating ingredients when they are used across more than one recipe) and the support team says they will explore those options, but the enhancements and performance improvements do not seem to be rolling out.

Useless as a meal planning app

List of what makes it useless
1) inefficient
2) not really customizable
3) cannot change number of servings
4) food is meh
5) ineffective grocery list

Worst app I've ever paid for. I feel like I've been scammed.
