"But what about..."
“I love the foods I eat now”
You don’t have to give up anything! Our recipes help you make the meals you already love, just with smart swaps that often taste even better. Think of your favorite comfort foods, made with techniques that boost flavor while reducing environmental impact.
“My family has picky eaters”
We specialize in recipes that work for mixed households. Our dishes are designed so you can easily customize them—add chicken for some, keep it plant-forward for others, or let everyone build their own plate from the same base ingredients.
“I’m already overwhelmed with daily life”
We actually make your life simpler, not more complicated. ZestyPlan takes the mental load off by suggesting meals based on what’s already in your fridge and generating shopping lists automatically. Less decisions, less waste, less stress.
“I’m concerned about getting balanced nutrition”
Climate-smart meals are incredibly nutrient-dense. When you eat a variety of whole foods—grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits—you naturally get all the protein, vitamins, and minerals your body needs, often more than traditional diets provide.
“Between school, soccer, dance, work, etc., we are running all the time”
You already do meal planning—pizza night on busy days, grocery lists before shopping. ZestyPlan just makes what you’re already doing smarter and faster. Add “soccer game” to your weekly calendar and we’ll suggest quick meals that fit your schedule.
The Biggest Climate Opportunity Is Right on Your Plate
The food sector creates more greenhouse gas emissions than every plane, train, boat and car in the world combined. But here’s the exciting part: 70% of Canadians already want to eat more plants, and you’re not alone in wanting to make this change.
The opportunity is massive: We waste 30% of the food we bring home, costing families over $1,500 annually in spoiled food. Meanwhile, climate-smart eating is healthier, cheaper, and better for the planet.
You’re part of a movement that’s ready to happen. Join the families who are turning this challenge into an advantage—saving money, improving health, and making the single biggest impact on climate change available to individuals.
