Yes, you can cancel at any time in the Subscription area of the classroom or you can send us an email and we are glad to assist with processing your cancellation.

Cancellations take effect after your current billing cycle ends. You will continue to have access to your classroom until the last day of your billing cycle when your classroom closes. You’ll receive a confirmation email with these details after you cancel.

Your classroom will close at 11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time on the last day of your current billing cycle. We strongly encourage you to download any Meal Plan PDFs you want to keep before your classroom access closes. See the TECHNICAL section for more information about this.

Absolutely, yes!

Head over to this page and sign up for a free Trial plan - easy peasy!

The Trial plan works similarly to our paid Meal Plans: we give you access to the Meal Plan classroom, including scaling and all of the features of the Meal Plans. The Trial plan was originally released as #TakeOut and will be the only Meal Plan you will have access to unless you decide to sign up for a Meal Plan subscription. The Trial plan does not include access to the Recipes section of the classroom.

The Trial plan doesn't expire, so if you request it and aren't ready to tackle a full meal plan yet, you can come back when you are. Requesting the Trial plan does not automatically convert to a paying subscription, so there is no risk to request it. The link to request is over here (look for the orange Unlock Access underneath the image).

If the Trial plan gets you pumped to sign up for the regular meal plans, you can activate a paid renewing subscription in the Subscription area of your classroom. The Trial plan will remain a part of your All Meal Plans archive if you subscribe.

All of our Recipes and Meal Plans are Whole Food Plant Based, free of meat, dairy, poultry, seafood, eggs, refined sugar, refined flour, and oil. The focus is on veggies, legumes, whole grains, fruit, nuts, and seeds. Occasionally we will use minimally processed foods, like sprouted bread or tofu. We occasionally use (optional) maple syrup or coconut sugar in small amounts as sweeteners. 

Each Meal Plan in your classroom contains the following:

• The week’s Menu at a glance
• Meal Plan Notes and Tips
• Detailed Grocery List with an interactive checklist 
• Detailed Prep Instructions for Batch Day with an interactive checklist
• Batch Cooking Recipes (usually 8 or 9 recipes that you will make on your batching day)
• Nightly Meal Instructions (instructions for 5 delicious meals using items that you made on your batch cooking day and fresh items that you assemble the night you eat)
• Recipe photos
• Downloadable and printable PDF of your entire weekly Meal Plan or just the parts you want to download

The Meal Plan classroom allows you to select how many portions of each meal you want to make and then everything is calculated and displayed for you - from the grocery list to the batching recipes.

The Meal Plans provide a structured plan to help you create a series of 5 meals. These meals are presented as dinners, but they can be eaten whenever you like. Our scaling option makes it easy to prepare enough to have leftovers to eat for another meal. We also have many free yummy breakfast recipes on the blog.

You can definitely do this! Making the free recipes from the blog is a great way to dip your feet in the yummy plant based waters. When you’re ready for a structured plan and just want to follow along each week, we got you!

Nope, this is not a diet at all. This is about the quality of the food you eat, not the quantity. Following the Meal Plans will help you embrace eating whole plant foods as the foundation of your nutrition each day and, over time, fueling on mostly whole plants can lead to major lifestyle changes.

While the Meal Plans are not designed for weight loss or gain, most people who have weight to release find that eating a Whole Food Plant Based diet consistently over time helps them reach a healthy weight for their frame. They also find that they feel better and have more energy.

The short answer is no. Check out this blog post about why we keep the focus of the Meal Plans away from dieting and calorie / macro counting. This one touches on the abusive nature of dieting, and this one explains why the plans are not about weight loss or weight gain.

This way of eating is about fueling your body with nutrient-dense foods and learning to recognize true hunger signals so you can fuel your body as it needs it. Eat when you’re hungry and stop eating when you are no longer hungry before you feel full in your stomach.

If you’re always really full after a meal, add a quarter less to your plate the next time you eat and see how you feel. If you’re not feeling full enough after you eat, add a quarter more to your plate the next time you eat and see how you feel.

This is all about getting in tune with your natural hunger signals and your miraculous body.

It depends on your kiddo, but we have lots of people who report that the Meal Plans are kid-friendly.

Some things they will like. Some things they won’t. If they don’t like four things in a row, maybe they will like the fifth thing you give them. Keep trying and don’t give up!

In most cases, absolutely! Our Recipes and Meal Plans contain a wide range of unprocessed whole plant foods and the recipes are forgiving and versatile. If you have food allergies, sensitivities, or other dietary restrictions, a little creativity is all you need. Additionally, our recipes are labeled if they contain common allergens to make it even easier for you to navigate.

Between our handy-dandy substitution guide and our private Facebook group, you should have no trouble finding good substitutions. However, if you're struggling, feel free to reach out. We're always happy to help.

Our Meal Plans take the planning, from what to cook, what to buy, and how to prepare it, out of your weekly routine. We focus on nutrient diversity so that you get a wide range of nutrients each and every week. We also plan weeks to reduce food waste, so that’s one less thing to worry about.

Even if you already eat healthy, these plans will make your life easier and keep you from getting into a food rut.

You will have access to all the Meal Plans that are released while you are actively subscribed, not any plans that came out before you signed up.

However, your Plant Fueled Meal Plans subscription includes access to our Plant Fueled Recipes feature for no additional charge. This means you can view, scale, and favorite any recipe from our database, including individual recipes from past Meal Plans.

Heck yes! As long as you're a current Meal Plan subscriber you can purchase any of our past Meal Plans in the classroom for $10 each.

You can do this by viewing All Meal Plans. The Meal Plans you already own will be shown in color, while the ones you can purchase will be greyed-out. Simply click on the greyed-out plan you'd like to purchase and then click "Add to cart".

We ask that you please do not share the Meal Plans (or the recipes in them). We put a tremendous amount of work into hand crafting our recipes and Meal Plans each week, and this is what keeps our business running and our employees paid. Sharing paid content is a violation of our intellectual property. If you want to share recipes with your peeps, please share the free recipes from our blog.

We do, however, encourage sharing the food that you make from the Meal Plans. That is A-OK! If someone loves it and asks for the recipe, send them to our Meal Plan page where they can sign up for a free trial of our Meal Plans and make some yummy noms!

Absolutely. Find out more here.

The Plant Fueled Meal Plans subscription includes a new structured Meal Plan in your classroom every Friday and has everything you need to create 5 delicious dinners. The recipes are all scalable so you can minimize food waste and prepare exactly what you need. The Meal Plans are based around the concept of batch cooking, where you spend about four hours once a week preparing recipes that build the foundation of your meals (like grains, beans, rice, sauces, soups, roasted veggies, etc) to save you time and effort later in the week.

The Meal Plans consist of an interactive grocery list, an interactive prep list, 8-9 batching recipes (listed in a specific order for efficiency) for you to make on your batching day, and nightly instructions on how to assemble your meals. Our Meal Plans subscription also includes access to all of the features of our Plant Fueled Recipes subscription. This is a fantastic added benefit to our Meal Plan subscribers because of the flexibility it gives you. You’ll have the option of following the structured plans or mixing it up and substituting meals from the Recipes section of the classroom.

Our Plant Fueled Recipes subscription differs in that it only includes access to our entire database of over 2,000 individual recipes, with new recipes added every Friday. It does not provide the structure of our Meal Plans. All the individual recipes are scalable and you can pick up to 10 different recipes to create a custom grocery list. You can also favorite recipes to come back to later. There is no prep list or comprehensive batch recipe list.

The Meal Plans section and the Recipes section are two different areas of the classroom. When you sign up for the Meal Plans you automatically have access to the Recipes section at no added cost. When you sign up for the Recipes you do not have access to the Meal Plans section (only the recipes from the Meal Plans).

Yes, you can! You can easily do this in the Subscription area of your classroom.
