We started PlateJoy because we know how hard it is to maintain a healthy diet on top of a busy schedule. Too often, we'd come home after a long day and order unhealthy take-out because there was nothing in the fridge. Or we'd find ourselves in line at yet another fast food restaurant, vowing to plan better in the future.
We believe that healthy eating should be the most convenient option, not the least convenient, as it often is. We also believe there is beauty in ease and simplicity, so we've worked to make the entire PlateJoy experience as seamless as possible. The end result is a refrigerator stocked with healthy foods.
By providing you with customized shopping lists and simple recipes, we make it easy and delicious to eat the way you want to, every day.
We're excited to join you on your journey to health and happiness! Please reach out with feedback or questions at any time.
Sincerely,
Christina and the PlateJoy team
