Since March of 2020, one of the biggest concerns we’ve had economic wise was the significant increase in groceries. In fact, since the pandemic began, groceries have roughly grown 18.5 %. As college students, we reflected on this drastic increase and we realized that for many in our shoes, it is getting really tough for everyone to keep eating healthy without breaking the bank

The main question we asked ourselves while designing this was why don’t students use all the meal planning and recipe idea makers out there right now? And the answer was simple. It was too much work to keep up with and maintain, and students would rather spend that time doing other important responsibilities. We also came to understand that different students have different priorities, some prioritize nutrition, others may prioritize cost or convenience, and etc. Our app doesn't just throw generic recipes at you. It listens to what you like, and tries to understand your eating preferences, then tailors meal ideas and a grocery list that tick all your boxes. Whether you're a vegan on a tight budget or a protein-loving gym enthusiast counting pennies, SmartPlate helps you

It's not just about money or meal plans; SmartPlate also equips you with strategies to stretch your food dollar further. From buying in bulk to understanding seasonal produce, our app teaches you how to make smart, cost-effective food choices.
