In reply to Kathleen. The pricing actually depends on which customized plan you choose. The more expensive one you mentioned above is for the Whole 30 plan I think. The one that includes all of my recipes can be found here and is less expensive.

I just checked into this, and found that they raised their pricing. Now it’s $30 a month for the first month and then $15 thereafter! That’s too bad, it seemed like it would have worked well for my family, but it’s way over my budget. Any other suggestions that are affordable?

Is there a way to test it out before buying a subscription?

In reply to Laura Standeven. You can add recipes easily with just the link. And if you use the link in this post, you automatically get my recipes too in the subscription at no extra cost.

Can I add recipes easily from online recipes (without having to type in the recipe myself)?

Also, if I sign up for the year subscription, do I also pay for the add on Wellness Mama recipes for the whole year, or pay monthly for those?

In reply to Christin. Reach out to Real Plans customer service and they should be able to give you access to them.

I bought your cookbook when it first came out and just yesterday signed up with Real Plans. I thought I read somewhere that if I had purchased your book that it included access to your recipes on Real Plans. Is this correct? I am loving the meal planner so far but it would be even better if all of your recipes were included.

In reply to Angie. The Real Plans app is free with a paid subscription to their service...

Thank you for the reply. So if I paid for the wellness Mama app, do I get access to the new app without having to pay again?

In reply to Angie. The original recipe app is no longer available as it didn't have all of my recipes included in it and it was not possible to automatically add them when new ones are created without a complete rebuild that would be very expensive. Real Plans includes all of my recipes and the mobile app does too.

Hi Katie! Thank you for everything you do! I am unclear about your previous recipes app that I had paid for and used. Does this completely replace that, because the old app disappeared from my phone and I can’t find it in the App Store. If so, is it possible to get the recipes that were on that app since I had paid for access to them? Thanks a bunch for the clarification. 🙂

I read the post, and I think meal planning works for a lot of people, but getting all the right ingredients and then spending all that concentrated time cooking just didn’t work for me. On the flipside, I simply started journaling what I put in my mouth, among other wellness topics, and that really did the trick for me. I use this thing called Thrive Journal and it really allows me to face the music with a whole slew of mind/body issues I would otherwise ignore. Thanks for this blog post and I hope people find what works for them to be healthy.

In reply to Stephanie. No, there isn't an additional cost. If you have purchased the cookbook, you will get instructions in the next couple of weeks on how to access them within Real Plans, as they're only available to those who have purchased it.

In reply to Wellness Mama.

Just to clarify, in addition to the Real Plans subscription, including your 500+recipes, there is an additional cost for the 200+ recipes from your cookbook?

I am looking forward to trying this service out.

Thank you

I think the best way to make meal planning simple and easy is to plan recipes for the week that use the same ingredients. This reduces food waste and your grocery bill because you won’t end up with a bunch of random ingredients in the fridge that have gone bad because each one was only used in 1 recipe. So, for things like herbs and veggies, find multiple recipes that require them! Also, it makes it a lot easier if every dinner recipe is doubled to cover the following day’s lunch. You’ll always have leftovers which means less planning & cooking!
