I love the variety of healthy meals. The instructions are easy to follow and the app is user friendly with the option to mark recipes as favorites to try later. ### 5/5 — Favorite meal planning app! *2019-02-06, version 1.0.1* I love this app. I have introduced new foods into my families life. They are healthy and easy! Minimal stress! I love the shopping list. This has SAVED ME MONEY! Healthy foods on a budget does work. ### 5/5 — Where has this been all of my life!!?? *2019-01-16* I LOVE this app and have been telling everyone I know about it! You pick the meals you would like to make for the week and a prep and shopping list populates! The shopping list is pretty neat too...it populates by each section of the grocery store and you can check off the items on the app that you already have in your home! They have incorporated if meals are gluten free, dairy free etc. So neat! I LOVE that they are moms from Minnesota who actually make the meals themselves FIRST before they put them on the app. It’s been a saving grace for our family and the app is so user friendly! I highly recommend trying this out! They have a free two week trial and then it’s $6 a month after that... that’s a steal! I would pay more for this service! Way to go ladies! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review! We are happy to hear you are enjoying our app. ### 5/5 — AMAZING! *2019-01-04* I have seriously downloaded EVERY app possible, in my mind I wanted recipes, that automatically add to a grocery list so I can shop with ease and reference back to the recipe easily when I want to make it, (lets be honest, I work full time, I run 5 nights a week with kids, sports, church, etc. and who has the time to sit down and really make sure our meals are wholesome) NOTHING really worked for me, I was frustrated and just wanted meal planning to be easier.... MY SAVING GRACE!!!! This is seriously amazing! Pick your recipe, add to meal plan, get groceries and MAGIC! The best part.... IT’S ALL HEALTHY WHOLESOME MEALS! It’s not a diet, it’s meals my kids eat!! Takes the worry about of making sure the kids (and myself) get what our bodies actually need!! And nobody is bored of eating the same thing over and over. The part that really gets me, is this app was made by a couple of Minnesota Moms well and diversely educated in health, truly doing this from their hearts to help other moms, keeping in mind the time and money that can go into healthy eating. I LOVE THAT!! ❤️ ### 5/5 — Easy to use, great recipes! *2018-11-18* I just downloaded the app today. I’ve tried a few MM recipes in the past but haven’t ever used the app. The app is incredibly user friendly and doesn’t have a learning curve at all. Everything seems very self-explanatory. I’m happy to make use of my free trial and am excited for the possibility of adding new, healthy meals to my family table! ### 5/5 — Shopping for Meals Made Easy! *2018-11-16* Finding new recipes and creating a list of what to buy is the biggest chore for me, especially while trying to eat healthy. This app does it all for you by letting you pick your favorite meals and generates a shopping list immediately! Love it! 🙌🏻 ### 5/5 — Love this time saver! *2018-11-14* My family loves how organized I have been since I started using Mindful Menu. We never need to wonder “What’s for dinner?” or question whether we have the right ingredients on hand. The meals are very kid friendly and easy to customize! ### 5/5 — Game Changer! *2018-11-14* This app has been an awesome addition to my meal planning. It takes the guesswork out & literally spells it out for you which is just fantastic. The ingredients are simple & most of the time you already have a lot of what’s needed & the recipes are super easy to follow. Two things: 1. We have been blessed with dairy restrictions in our house for our kiddos. Most of the meals call for dairy- usually cheese. This makes it incredibly hard to consistently use the app for meal ideas if everything is dairy based. 2. I would like to see the total ingredients needed on the shopping list rather than individually listing them per recipe. It would make grocery shopping slightly easier. Also, in the tips you often times give some great side dishes ideas- it would be really nice to have those part of the recipes/shopping lists also. Sometimes I go to make my recipes & forget it had a tip for side dish & I don’t always have all the ingredients for that since it wasn’t in the shopping list. Overall, this has been a totally game changer in my house! My husband knows what’s for supper & you truly cannot heat the price of the app! ### 5/5 — So convenient! *2018-11-13, version 1.0.1* Grocery list - done! Meals for the week - planned! Takes some stress out of the week. Thank you, mindful menu! ### 5/5 — Game changer! *2018-09-14, version 1.0.1* I’ve tried several different online meal planners but none were a hit with the fam + health focused like this one. I like how it creates a custom shopping list based on what your choose for meals! ### 5/5 — Meal planning made easy *2018-07-03* This app is brilliant. I absolutely hate meal planning. This does it for me and creates my grocery list by category. It also helps you not waste food by using ingredients in the next weeks meals from previous week. The meals are really good and nutritious. I can’t say enough positive things about this!! ### 5/5 — Every Parent Needs This! *2018-06-12* This app is so easy to use! Shopping and prepping lists, easy to see recipes - I just prop my phone up in the kitchen and get it done! Pair this with ordering groceries through your favorite service and you’ve saved SO much time each week!! ### 5/5 — amazing! *2018-06-11, version 0.9.14* game changer! love this app!

In love!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Subscription? *2019-03-11, version 1.0.1* WHERE in the description does it say this app is subscription based. I downloaded the app and I get an email welcoming me to my free, two week trial. Trial!? Delete. ### 3/5 — Work in progress *2018-09-11* In the hunt to find a web based application for meal planning that takes the guesswork out, I found this app. I had seen it talked about by some beach body people but didn’t want to ask them about it cause I did not want the sales part from them. First glance, the menu is nice and to the point. I’m definitely excited to give this a go and see how it works for my family. I did notice that the shopping menu still needs work. It would be awesome if the shopping menu Combined total #s of items versus separate lines and then having to go back into each recipe to confirm size (chicken for example). Overall, for a new app I think it’s awesome. ### 4/5 — Great Meal Planning App! *2018-11-16, version 1.0.1* I love Mindful Menu! Not only does the app help me stay on track, with recipes that fit with my eating goals, but the meal planning is awesome!!! ### 4/5 — My new go to *2018-11-13, version 1.0.1* After giving this a try I was very impressed with how helpful the shopping list is. I didn’t think it would make a difference until I was making my grocery list. The app is very well laid out and has some awesome meals! And 6$ a month is nothing compared to my monthly coffee habit. :) ### 5/5 — Super easy and convenient *2022-03-24* Started out with the trial and loved it right away for meal planning! Super easy to use and navigate through. The best part is that we have like so many of the recipes so I know I can trust there will always be something we like, instead of wasting time searching for recipes online. Having all of the ingredients populate from your menu is so helpful for shopping. ### 5/5 — Love Mindful Menu *2022-03-14* Are you looking for easy, healthy, family friendly recipes?

My husband and I both eat low carb and I love that I can take the majority of these recipes and make alterations to them to suit my needs. The shopping list feature is awesome too! ### 5/5 — Simplify Meals!! *2022-03-12* The Mindful Menu app has taken the guess work out of mealtime for our busy family!

The search feature is amazing! If you are in the mood for chicken search it and up pops tons of recipes to choose from. Same is true with vegan, beef, pork and seafood options. I love how it makes meal planning so simple each week. And based off of my meals I choose it creates a shopping list for those meals that is sorted by categories in the stores. As well as allowing me to add any other things I might need for the week. It also provides a prep list where I can prep things ahead of time to make my week run more smoothly. ### 5/5 — Life saver for people with kids *2022-03-12, version 1.6.7.1* We use this every week for meal planning.
