Food Monster – 5000+ Vegan Recipes

Having been launched by the biggest plant-based and vegan food recipe website on the interwebs –  a website that also happens to be a multifarious platform targeting the eco-conscious generation -, it is the least bit surprising that Food Monster trots out a monstrous collection of vegan recipes. From this vast recipe collection, 500 are at your disposal for free, but by sacrificing a measly $1.99 per month to the Food Monster, the benevolent beast will grant you access to an additional 8,000 vegan recipes and more than 10 daily recipes delivered to you on weekdays. To ensure that you find the vegan meal that fits your current cravings or a specific special occasion, you can not only narrow down your searches and browse recipes by diet, occasion, meal type, or ingredient, you can also discover seasonal favorites, popular themes, and recipes handpicked by One Green Planet’s editors.

FoodPrint™ Diet by Nutrino

Despite the fact that you can access many of FoodPrint™ Diet’s features without spending a single dime, the rather naïve proverb that states that the best things in life are free does not ring true in the case of this outstanding nutrition app; so to get a little extra you have to give a little extra. You can choose from 3 subscription plans: $7.99 per month, $18 for three months, or $40 per year.

Lose It! – Weight Loss Program and Calorie Counter

Lose It! helps you lose any amount of extra weight with a weight loss program that’s been lauded as one of the most effective in the whole wide world. The method that Lose It! puts into practice is simple on the surface but complex on the inside: all you have to do is tell a few vital details about yourself – such as your activity level and your dietary habits and preferences -, and the app will deliver you your very own, personalized weight loss plan. To add another layer of personalization, you can set goals depending on what you are trying to achieve with your diet. These goals include nutrients goals, exercise, blood pressure, weight loss, and even daily food budget. Since an iPhone nutrition app without a potent food database-barcode scanner duo is like a cat lacking the essential feline tendency to act like a jerk every once in a while just to show who’s boss, it is the least bit surprising that Lose It! has the aforementioned essential duo in its arsenal. We wholeheartedly believe that competition is one of the greatest driving forces and motivating factors in any context, which is why we were so glad to see that Lose It! has exercise, weight loss, and overall wellness challenges for teams, groups, and individuals alike.
