About VeggieMate: Vegetarian Recipes
Start straight away, no account needed. Browse more than 300 built-in vegetarian and vegan recipes, from quick breakfasts and weeknight mains to soups, sauces, drinks and desserts, and search online for even more. Every recipe is vegetarian, and every recipe shows its protein.
BUILD A PLATE
• Half veg or salad, a quarter protein, a quarter carbs: pick a recipe for each slot and watch the photos fill your plate
• Shuffle for ideas, lock the slot you like, or choose a cuisine or a quick 20-minute plate
• A "Complete protein pairing" badge when your protein and carbs pair up, like rice and beans
• Approximate totals for the plate, from real recipes
• Save your favourite plates, share one as a picture, and add a whole plate to your meal plan in one tap
• Plenty of vegetarian proteins: beans and lentils, tofu, tempeh, TVP, mycoprotein, eggs and more
PLAN YOUR WEEK
• Surprise me fills your empty meals in one tap with recipes you'll like, favouring your favourites and what's in your pantry
• Plan breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, and choose how many servings you need
• Batch-cook planner: cook once, eat all week, with fridge days and freezer notes
• Calendar and meal list side by side on tablet
SHOP SMARTER
• One tap turns your plan into a grocery list of only what you're missing
• Your pantry is checked first, and the same ingredient is added up across recipes
• Amounts you can actually buy, with the exact recipe amount shown underneath
• Scan a barcode to add products to your pantry or list, with the name and pack size filled in
• Move bought items straight into your pantry
SHARE WITH YOUR HOUSEHOLD
• Up to 6 people share one grocery list and pantry, so everyone sees what's been bought
• Invite people with a link. Meal plans and recipes stay your own.
COOK WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
• Smart Pantry shows what you can cook right now
• Cooking Mode takes you through one step at a time, with the ingredients each step needs
• Timers keep running and alert you, even if you leave the app, and your screen stays on
FIND WHAT SUITS YOU
• Filter by vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free and more, and by max cooking time
• Dietary filters are a guide, worked out from the ingredients. Always check labels if you have an allergy.
PROTEIN AT A GLANCE
• See estimated protein, calories and more per serving on every recipe
• Premium adds sort and filter by protein, daily totals and an optional protein goal you set
• Numbers are approximate estimates, not medical or dietary advice
YOUR RECIPES, EVERYWHERE
• Save favourites and add your own family recipes, with ingredient suggestions as you type
• Paste a link, or an Instagram or TikTok caption, and VeggieMate fills in the recipe (Premium)
• Sign in to back up and sync your recipes, plan, lists, pantry and saved plates across your devices, free

What’s new
Version 2.1.0 · Updated November 1, 2026
New: Plant-based mode. Choose how you eat once, and VeggieMate shows recipes without dairy, eggs or honey in Recipes, online search, Surprise me, Smart Pantry, Plate Builder and the meal planner. Your own recipes always show, and you can mark them as plant-based. Change it any time in Profile or Filters. It goes by recipe tags, so use it as a guide and check labels if you have an allergy.
