Better Eater: recommended meal plan, home screen, and recipe detail
Amit, the persona Better Eater was designed for

Meet Amit, who we designed it for

Amit is driven and curious, and holds herself to her own deadlines. She's taken up yoga and meditation, and she's always wanted to eat vegan, but she never knew where to start or how to find the time for it. The pain point isn't wanting to eat well. It's not knowing where to begin, and not having room in a busy week to work it out.

Better Eater is a helper for the transition itself. It supports whichever way of eating you want to try, whether that's vegan, vegetarian, keto, or something else, and makes cooking easy at any level, as part of your life.

Co-designed with Yuval Sa'ar as a team project for a Shenkar course. We both worked across the persona, wireframes, visual design, branding, and the prototype.

Jump between steps

Full-screen chapters like Prep, Bake, and Roast, so it's easy to skip ahead or replay a step without losing your place.

Three decisions, one goal

Every choice serves one goal: an easy move toward the way you want to eat, not a diet.

01

We recommend cooking every three days

The cooking-frequency scale runs from every day to once a week. The middle, every three days, makes a bigger batch that saves time and stays realistic for a student who also works.

Every step comes with a video

Written steps are there, but the video lets you copy an expert cooking, so a beginner can learn an easy and proper way to do it.

Green, because it's calm

Green felt natural, fresh, friendly, and calming. It keeps Better Eater a helper for changing how you eat, and makes the process feel easy.
