Pick Up Limes Reviews

by Rosee M

PickUpLimes is very well thought out and I absolutely love the nourish cell concept. However, the library of ingredients is pretty limited and it’s very time consuming to input nutritional data yourself. I also really wish you could see the nutritional info of each ingredient so when you’re looking at your nourish cells and nutrients you could actually tell what foods contributed what. Especially want this because there were multiple days where PickUpLimes told me I had consumed cholesterol in my nutrition info but I had no way to figure out which food was being considered as having dietary cholesterol. considering I’m vegan, I was shocked and worried. I inputted the same foods in two alternative apps and they did not show any cholesterol. For a brand new app, it’s great, but I’m hoping the library will be expanded and the nutritional info can be improved

I love PickUpLimes . I love how easy it is to use. I love the colorful nutrition guide. I am new to vegan bc of cancer and many food intolerances. I have learned to substitute out foods in recipes with ease. My experience this past week in using PickUpLimes is that it does not pick up the ingredients from my inputted recipes and in order to get credit in the various categories, I have to enter as a separate item on my daily input. Also, you address food allergies with filters that work well, but a very large percentage of your recipes are based on peanut and soy! I end up entering s good many of my own recipes. Still, i love PickUpLimes and the ease of use. I have been amazed that i have not been eating enough legumes and other protein rich foods. PickUpLimes has really helped me make better portion choices as well as balancing my daily diet through the food groups. Occasionally, I eat fish and yogurt too help with immunity support. It would be great if you could add a fish nutritional category.

I’ve loved Pick Up Limes for years, so I was thrilled to hear they had an app. But this is even better than I had hoped for. It helps me eat a wider, healthier range of foods, but doesn’t push me towards an unhealthy relationship with food - or my phone. It lets me add and track my own plant-based ingredients and meals (rather than restricting me to solely the PUL recipes) and encourages me to stick to a plant-based diet. The recipes are always good and almost always absolutely delicious. And PickUpLimes itself is gorgeously and thoughtfully designed. It is a pleasure to use. Thank you so much, PUL, for this incredible app!

by Jamieleto

This is the greatest + most thoughtful cooking, nutrition tracking, incredible value for your money app I have ever used. Look through delicious vegan recipes (some of which have become forever staples in my home!), track nutrition with the nourish section, compile a grocery list based on the recipes you love - and with the “make” function on the cooking page - you are taken step by step through the whole recipe, with the ability to cross things off the ingredients list, set timers, you name it. The Pick Up Limes team went above + beyond in making wholesome, fresh, delectable, plant based recipes easy + accessible to the masses. I can’t say enough about how much I LOVE it + use it every day. Download it now!!

Love, love, love PickUpLimes.
The cook-along feature has been SO HELPFUL for us, because my 7yo is able to help with recipes without having to scroll between ingredients and instructions. She’s had so much anxiety around trying new foods, and being involved in picking recipes and cooking really helps her get excited about trying the meal. She also loves choosing a rating (all 5 stars so far).
I love the grocery list feature, and how easy it is to remove items we already have. I also love that there are suggestions for ingredient swaps, as I’m not always confident in choosing a replacement for items I don’t have!

by TheRealBryn

I can’t recommend PickUpLimes enough. The recipes are not only nutritious, but super delicious and easy to make with step-by-step photographs and/or videos of all the instructions. The gamechanger for me is the meal planning schedule and grocery list. And with more than 900 recipes (more added every week) I have found no need to make any other recipes than the ones in PickUpLimes. PickUpLimes has simplified my meal planning, shopping and cooking, and actually sparked my love of cooking again. The price is a huge bargain given the extremely high quality of PickUpLimes ’s design, recipe quality and functionality. Highly recommended!!

by Somebody's Hat

I bought the subscription as soon as it came out, I’ve followed this app for something like 6 years ago I think. I went vegan with the help of the “Beginners Guide to veganism” video, and Sadia (and the team!!) have been a staple in my journey and life ever since.

PickUpLimes, however, has blown me away. I was expecting a something good, like everything else from this app, but between the features and and recipes, this is PickUpLimes i never knew I needed. I’ve already made 5 recipes from it and can’t stop recommending it. The recipes, cook along, and shopping features are in themselves wonderful, but one thing that has helped me, possibly the most, has been the nutritional side of PickUpLimes . I’ve been able to use PickUpLimes to better plan my meals to make sure I’m consistently getting what I need nutritionally (and I’ve saved money from the plans and ease of use! 😄) The nutritional feature is what I’ve also been recommending PickUpLimes for the most.

Love love love PickUpLimes and the inspiring team at this app. Nothing but the best wishes for you all!

I should maybe mention too, yes- I’m a bit biased and I’m proud 😁

by Meghamenon

I’m used to be a professional chef and I recently turned vegan. Meal planning can be a pain especially if you’re cooking for one like me. I used to default to eating out a lot. Ever since I downloaded PUL, it’s made my life so easy! I no longer dread cooking for myself. If I’m craving something or looking to cook with a specific ingredient, I just search PickUpLimes. I LOVE how easy it is to follow recipes by looking at the pictures. The little notes for substitutions are perfect! I can save recipes for later and every recipe I’ve tried is so mouthwatering good! I use PUL almost every day now and I’ve drastically cut back on eating takeout. Thanks for creating PickUpLimes!! It’s saved me a lot of time and money!! ❤️

by SajidaSayyad

I am so grateful for PickUpLimes. It has made so many meaningful changes in my life. It’s fun and so easy to use. With the cook along feature, and having watched each and every video Sadia posts, I feel as if I have a cooking friend cooking along with me. PickUpLimes is absolutely unique and I have not seen any other app as close as this one when it comes to understanding us so well and meeting our daily nutrition and cooking needs. For people wanting to switch to plant based foods and want to make this journey delicious, PickUpLimes will not fail you. Also, for people having health issues like body aches and pains and bone issues, it might just be the nutrition deficiency. Instead of visiting so many docs and doing a million tests with no concrete diagnosis, try the ‘Nutrition’ feature of PickUpLimes diligently to fulfill your nutrition needs everyday for at least a couple of months and you will start seeing your body respond. Thanks again Sadia for this amazing amazing app. Lots of love ❤️

by JessicaLeeReviews

PickUpLimes is quite incredible. As a new app the features are extremely robust and it is apparent a LOT of thought has gone into making the user experience top notch. There are so many layers of functionality wrapped up in a clean, beautiful, intuitive user interface. I’m impressed. The recipes are wonderful and the concept behind the nourish method to balance your diet is really unique. PickUpLimes makes living a healthy lifestyle so easy from beginning to end. I’ve never had such a positive experience with a nutrition app. I’m excited to have found this early on in its development, because I can’t wait to see where this goes. THIS IS GOING TO BE BIG! Congrats to the team for creating this masterpiece of a nutrition solution!

by Nikai367

The brilliance of PickUpLimes can’t be overstated. Filter recipes for ingredients, time, meal type, allergies, etc. EVERY STEP HAS PICTURES. PickUpLimes doesn’t close when you’re in the middle of a recipe. If the step requires a timer, ITS BUILT IN.

Bookmark what you want to make, easily add the ingredients to a grocery list, add your own notes, the features go on and on. I couldn’t have built PickUpLimes better myself. It checks all the boxes.

The best part is that everything I’ve made so far has been DELICIOUS. My family looks forward to everything I make from PickUpLimes. It takes all the stress and guesswork out of cooking. Thank you PUL!!!

by Sonia Merten

As a QA analyst for mobile apps, I have a generally critical view of most apps I use. I also have a tremendous appreciation for apps that are well-made. This one falls into the latter category - it’s one of my favorite apps I’ve ever used (and I’m not even vegan, but have been a fan of PUL for many years). The feature set is robust. The design is intuitive and thoughtfully created. The food ideas are endless! I also love the Discussion feature on each recipe, and I appreciate how responsive the PUL team is to questions/comments there. I could go on and on, but overall, I’m incredibly impressed by PickUpLimes and would recommend it to anybody who enjoys cooking. Major props to Robin, Sadia and the team!

by Micah_cm

PickUpLimes is WONDERFUL! Thank you PUL team for creating it! 🪴

I love the grocery function — it’s easy to add from recipes based on serving size and easy to add my own items! Having a grocery list in my pocket helps me remember and add things, having a grocery list at the store (organized by section!!) makes it so much easier to shop.

I also LOVE the step-by-step ingredients, timer, and instructions. It makes it easier to focus and avoid mistakes!

PUL team, 10/10, tysm for making PickUpLimes.

And PUL story — I found PUL when I moved back on with my parents from college in march 2020. Losing control over my food (on top of…2020) was so frustrating and learning how to cook with PUL was so soothing. I’m extra lucky that I learned to cook in a plant-based way which started my (slow) journey to making more plant-based stories. And changed my relationship with food along the way! Thank you so much for all your work, it shapes my daily life (and my partners :-), and I appreciate y’all every day. Peace, Micah 🌱

by SeasideVegan

I have been using PickUpLimes since it launched. And all I can say is you NEED this! The recipes are amazing, which is no surprise since Sadia has always created delicious and nutritious meals. I have been cooking PUL recipes for over 4 years. But PickUpLimes takes it all to a new level. From detailed ingredients (with swaps), step-by-step methods (with cooking timers, yes timers, built in!), stunning pictures, and a nutrition goal setting calculations - this is an app for everyone. From the experienced cook to someone just starting out; from a long time vegan to someone just trying it out…I can’t say enough good things about it 🌱 10/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

by Userhdjdbbsj

I have been following this app for more than 5 years now and I am happy to see how much Sadia and Robin have achieved. You can clearly see how much effort they put into making PickUpLimes. It is very easy to use for anyone. The filters given are great, I really like the cooking along option with lot of pictures. There is also swap of ingredients and we can remove some ingredients if we have some kind of allergy. They have clearly specified, different kind of nuts, gluten, soy, if it's used as part of the receipt. I have downloaded PickUpLimes before they announce on social media and made many smoothies so far. Loving it!!!!!

by AmandiMelissa

I’ve been wanting to shift into a healthier eating habit and it’s been overwhelming trying to find all the information I needed. From visiting different websites that contradict themselves, to making grocery list and forgetting it either back home and or in the car.

PickUpLimes has everything I need and more, for real. I’m able to look up a recipe, get the grocery list and see the nutritional information all in one place. I’ll try not to give it all away because you should experience this like I did.

But one last thing, the biometric section on PickUpLimes is 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Truly my favorite app for nutrition so far 👍🏼

by Francia1365

Thank you so much for the time and effort put forth to make such an awesome app that enables you to plan healthy plant based meals based on one’s nutritional needs and personal preferences! It’s like having your own personal dietician aka Sadie 😊 to guide you along. Did I mention that the Pick up Limes mobile app is user friendly for those who are not so tech savvy? With just a click, you are able to access hundreds and hundreds of recipes (or you can add your own) and personalize each meal to your liking. The PUL app really is fun to use and I look forward each day to adding new meals to my plan with the ultimate goal of a stronger, healthier body. Thank God for this wonderful app created by a wonderful team of people who desire to see people reach a high level of wellness through good nutrition!

by Johannagiggles1

Have been a big fan of pick up limes for years so have been patiently waiting for PickUpLimes since they announced it and they absolutely over delivered! The nutrition tracking function is amazing (especially the fact that you can decide to not see calories related to recipes but still track nutrients). I love the direct connection between recipes, grocery lists, and nutrition facts. I love the step by step pictures, the fact that you can add your own recipes and still have nutritional values pop up, and of course I love the yummy recipes. This was definitely worth the wait, thank you so much for creating this 🥰

by Vrai42

I have been a fan of this app for over six years, having helped me go vegan and show me how to cook and eat well while doing so. I struggled to meal plan, getting exhausted having to pull up videos or go on websites to prepare my grocery list. I can’t recommend PickUpLimes enough, it makes meal planning, making your grocery list, tracking your nutrients and keeping your weekly menu interesting. There have been times I wanted to order takeout and instead looked for one pot recipes in PickUpLimes under 30 mins and found so many. The follow along pictures and directions while making meals is so helpful, if you want to eat better, spend less time planning, not eat the same boring stuff, track your nutrients and make your life easier this is PickUpLimes for you, seriously one of the best decisions I’ve made this year!

by R.A.W.R!

PickUpLimes has made collaborating in the kitchen with my better half the best it’s ever been! With PickUpLimes, we are now on the same page. We are able to meal plan, create a grocery list, and use our personal mobile devices in sync while preparing ingredients together. The recipes are healthy, delicious, and there is plenty of guidance through the “make” option, which offers step-by-step instructions with photos and measurements. No more looking over each other shoulders to read instructions off a printout, no more doubting whether the recipes are good or not, and no more boring ‘same ol recipes’. Dare I say PickUpLimes has spiced up our relationship? ❤️‍🔥😅

by Clara Glowfish

PickUpLimes is fantastic!!! As someone with ADHD and executive dysfunction, this has been a game changer for me. I have tried so many new recipes since downloading and it helps me so much with staying organized and reducing food waste and impulse buys. PickUpLimes makes everything so convenient, and meal planning doesn’t feel so overwhelming. I don’t forget things from the grocery store because of the way the grocery lists are set up, and it’s so much easier to follow recipes with the « make » feature that they have. Coming from a rocky past relationship with food, I seriously love that you can hide calories and macros. Thanks for the great app, I’m so happy to have found it 😊

by Mkbluechannel

I'm someone who likes an app that functions like an endless database, with so many recipes I could never truly exhaust my search. When an app says it has 100 recipes… That's just not enough for me. I want my recipe app to give me the experience of treasure hunting with sure rewards. Knowing I'm already in a rich realm full of delicious possibilities, there are also gems that I find along my searches. Sadia's app does all this for me. I have been following pick up limes for probably around a decade now and this is such a wonderful achievement for them!

The PickUp Limes app is absolutely incredible to navigate, save recipes, and comment within and interact with. I really don't think there is a better vegan app you can download at this time. They regularly update with new recipes the ever-growing database. I can go on there and find something new most days of the week. For me that's great! I'm always wanting to look at new recipes.

The photos are beautiful, and the detailed instructions are genuinely helpful. I like that you can choose to go to a step-by-step page within the recipe, see photos and more instructions at each instruction and make better sense of the process.

These recipes are approachable, affordable, and fun and filled with flavor. I can't say enough good about it and it's definitely worth your money to get it for the year. Even if you do eat meat or dairy these recipes accommodate all kinds of diets as you can modify them easily.

by CadburyCarla

But PickUpLimes is outstanding!! The amount of work that went into creating this is phenomenal. Not only is everything beautifully presented and easy to use, there is so much information packed into each recipe. It feels like you thought of everything and more. Grocery lists, nutritional information, awesome filters and a plethora of recipes. Well written instructions, built in timers (so cool!) and videos. I could go on and on! I’m a cheapskate and it’s hard to convince me to spend money on an app, but it is evident that what PickUpLimes has to offer is worth way more than what you pay for it. Thank you!!!!

by Sim_66

Hi Sadia and PUL team, PickUpLimes looks AMAZING and I especially love the grocery planning section of PickUpLimes since it makes cooking so simple, and even though I enjoy cooking I hate it when I have something missing for a recipe and when I go to get the missing ingredients I end up getting other stuff instead of what I actually wanted (LOL) so this feature will definitely help me stay on track. Also the nutritional planning feature?! guys y'all are setting the standard so HIGH!! it's super helpful and also SO SO GORGEOUS!!! Thank you so much for PickUpLimes!!! It's a genuine lifesaver!!

by Couturechiquita

First I just want to say I LOVE 💚PickUpLimes !!
I downloaded it yesterday & have been obsessed scrolling through the recipes. So, So many delicious recipes to choose from the layout is fantastic 🙌🏽!! The pictures are beautiful 🫶🏼!! The options to organize & make sure your meals are well balanced, yes, yes, yes, brilliantly designed app!! 🙌🏽👏🏽🤌🏽!!!
As transitioning plant 🪴 based it isn’t the easiest in the way of ensuring you are getting ALL OF THE NOURISHMENT you need on a daily in our meals!! PickUpLimes provides that guidance beautifully 💚
PUL’s team you’ve definitely set the standard & out did yourself with this brilliantly designed user friendly app for anyone considering or transitioning or already living a plant 🌱 based lifestyle 😁!!
I am so excited 😆 to try all of the recipes!
As I shared with your team in my email 📧 can you possibly create a delicious recipe with Black Eyed Peas 🫛 😉??
TYSM for designing this beautiful app!! 💚🌱✨

by Jesse4r

If you are thinking about the subscription, DO IT! Seriously. I've already made that money back in spades by not having to eat out as much anymore. And your health is worth it!!!! I used to hate home cooking because I felt like the whole process from planning, to shopping, to prepping, to cooking was a full day commitment. PickUpLimes has expideded the entire process. Most apps are just recipes and only help you with the cooking step, but I never knew if I was eating the right things, buying the right things, or preparing it correctly. PickUpLimes addresses every aspect of healthy homemade food and I am so thankful for it.

by Sophia_Moon

Okay so I don’t often leave reviews but I needed to for this. I love love love the PUL channel and their energy, and so far PickUpLimes is just as amazing. I love the recipe ideas they have and I’m not even vegan 😅 but I figured it’d be fun to start trying out for the heck of it. I especially love their nourish tab, which imo seems like a great help for calorie counting/restriction for helping weight loss and general health improvements. Super excited to try out all the different options and recipes.
So thank you to the PUL team for PickUpLimes, and I can’t wait to see how far it progresses and grows! 💜

by Lotusmae23

I am not vegan but enjoy on a more plant based lifestyle and have been following pick up lines for years and used the website in the past. Congratulations to your new app, it’s amazing! I especially love and appreciate the gluten free swap feature that I’ve never seen elsewhere. It makes it easy to know what items I need to sub without having to do further research. Your app is user friendly, aesthetically pleasing, and I love the nourish category because its a gentle yet informative way to approach nutrition and nourishment. Thanks again for your app and happy eating! :)

by Jen B 1971

I can’t even begin to list all the fantastic things available on PickUpLimes. You can search by ingredients or by dietary needs. Once you find a recipe either through searching or just browsing through PickUpLimes you can save it and add items that you need to make it to a list. You can adjust by serving size so whether you have one person or four you will know exactly how much of each ingredient you need. There are step-by-step instructions that you can tick off as you go so you never lose your place. Best of all? Everything tastes great!

by Rolf J

As a Private Chef, I have had a diverse group of clients who eat various types of cuisines but they all tend to trend towards healthy eating/plant based diets. PickUpLimes is not like any other I have ever seen. It will be the answer to so many people I know who struggle with coming up with great options when it comes to meal planning. The sheer depth,planning, and intricate details that it must have taken to create PickUpLimes is truly remarkable. I not only plan on using PickUpLimes personally, I will recommend it to everyone I know. Please continue to make great content on your channel and wishing you guys the best!!!

by ElisaJuarez

I love PickUpLimes, it’s complete, not only you have a ton of nourishing recipes, but you also have “the cell”-which helps you track your water intake, and all the vitamins your body needs for the day!
PickUpLimes also offers an option for a “personal planner”, where you can plan your meals for the week, and for me as a busy single mom, works excellent!! I don’t have to be thinking about getting good nutrition , PickUpLimes is tracking all that for me already!! It’s just so amazing!!! Thank you all for the hard work creating PickUpLimes, it did not disappoint!!

by Grate-full-1

PickUpLimes has everything! So thoughtfully put together and organized. Delicious recipes! I know, because I’ve made a bunch of them already, and I cannot wait to try some new gems I see here. The filters, nutritional information, and shopping features are wonderful! And then there are even step-by-step instructions and pictures. Wow! It’s hard to choose from so many delicious choices, but I think I have next week’s recipes and shopping list put together already. Thank you Sadia, Robin and the whole this app team!

by Menkhu Gurung

PickUpLimes is the best app I have used in my whole life . It has all measuring calculators if we wanna make recipe for just two people or 6 people or many more . It will tell us exact amount of ingredients we need. And the best part is when we add in our bag it will tell us what we need to buy for groceries and make a list for us . The game changing app !!!! Loving it and making one recipe a day which has saved my time and energy. Since all recipes are easy and takes less amount of time and at the same time the most yummiest recipe ever!!!!

by Food Nirvana

As a Family Medicine Physician, I’m constantly looking for inspiration for my patients as well as myself to make a Plant Based lifestyle more achievable. I LOVE how PickUpLimes makes that possible! The recipes are tasty, nourishing, and simple enough to make even the most skeptical person fall get excited about eating Vegan dishes!
I can filter and bookmark as much as I’d like, and when it comes time to make the dish, I love the “Make” feature-complete with timers as needed-which helps me keep on track with the recipe. This is so much better than a cookbook!!

by VishN29

I have been following PUL for years and have loved the content. I thoroughly enjoy the recipes and as a vegetarian and lactose intolerant person they give hope! And regardless I make them or not the content is fun to watch and relaxes the mind. Overall, I like the user experience on PickUpLimes and feel it’s very well developed.

I have a quick question though- I see the nutrition content per serving but usually the serving size isn’t indicated. Is it intential? Since, I am aware you talk a lot about mindful eating, nourishing soul and body but not just follow strict diet and measurements.

As someone who is trying to achieve better fitness and eat in calorie deficit I think if I can find serving size that might come in handy to track my macros. You can also let me know if the feature exists and I didn’t discover it.

All the best for you journey! Best wishes to both of you :)

by *EmilyG94*

PickUpLimes is so aesthetic, everything looks beautiful and delicious which really draws you to use PickUpLimes and crave the food.

I love the variety of recipes from full meals, snacks, sauces, and beverages, there is so much to explore!

This is one of the only apps I’ve decided right off the bat to purchase a full year subscription, just watching the videos of the launch you could really tell how well engineered and user friendly it was. They truly thought of everything and I’m loving it so far!

by Bo-Bice

I’ve been using PickUpLimes since the beta and it has made it so easy for me to plan and prep meals to cook for the week. Me and my wife have several favorites from the massive list of recipes. We love being able to constantly find something new and amazing to try. We haven’t been disappointed with any recipe we’ve tried.
One thing we’d love to see in the future is our grocery list syncing between our phones. Again though, best app out there for recipes!

by RMP7691

I’ve never reviewed an app in my life but feel compelled to because this one is outstanding. It’s exceptionally aesthetically pleasing!! I was just looking for a way to get recipe ideas for healthier food and easily track it and PickUpLimes goes above and beyond. It’s incredibly well organized and a pleasure to use. The follow-along recipe is brilliant. For each step, it has the ingredient amounts you need right there so you don’t need to flip back and forth, and it even has a button to set a timer for that step. These little things make the experience so much easier. Couldn’t recommend more!

by Sagomezdoyle

This is truly one of the most incredible food and plant centered apps I have ever seen! 🌱 I have followed PUL for a while now and I am always blown away by how intentional, thoughtful and inclusive the videos and recipes are. I was excited to try PickUpLimes when it launched and it has undoubtedly exceeded my expectations. The recipes, search function and grocery list makes everything so accessible and easy to use! It has really changed my own meal preparation process. Very grateful for all the lessons - both personal and food based - that I have learned! Thank you! 🙏🏼
