The cool thing about PlateJoy is that it lets you exclude ingredients that your picky eaters won’t touch (like mushrooms) and customize the plan to your preferences. There are clean eating and keto plans, for example. And it’s easy to sync the nutrition information to a Fitbit. A six-month membership is $69.
