What is Lifetime Access?
Lifetime Access is a one-time payment of $399 that gives you every Fresh 20 meal plan for good, with no renewals ever. That covers all seven plans, the six Core weekly plans, which are Classic, Paleo, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Vegetarian, and For One, plus the Mediterranean plan.
You also get the full recipe archive of more than 8,000 recipes and growing, the complete 16-Pack cooking guide collection along with every guide we add later, the full e-book library along with every e-book we add later, and a Life-Timer membership with invitations to member events and perks. You pay once and keep all of it, the way you keep a cookbook you bought years ago. The one thing Lifetime Access does not include is Kitchen Passport, which is sold on its own.
What’s included in Lifetime Access?
Lifetime Access includes every meal plan and every recipe resource we make for the weekly plans, in one payment that never renews. Here is the full list.
- All seven meal plans, the six Core weekly plans (Classic, Paleo, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Vegetarian, and For One) and the Mediterranean plan
- The full recipe archive, more than 8,000 recipes and growing
- The complete 16-Pack cooking guide collection of 320 recipes, plus every new guide we release, added automatically
- The full e-book library, plus every new e-book we release, added automatically
- Life-Timer membership, with invitations to member events and member perks
Kitchen Passport is not part of Lifetime Access. It is a separate one-time purchase, so if you want the monthly dinner-party countries, you buy those on their own. Lifetime Access covers the weekly plans and their archive, not Kitchen Passport.
Does Lifetime Access cost less than renewing every year?
In under two years, yes. Subscribing to the All Access Pass at $135 a year and the Mediterranean plan at $87 a year comes to $222 every year. Lifetime Access is $399, paid once. That means the pay-once price covers itself in under two years of what those two subscriptions would cost, and every year after that costs nothing.
Lifetime Access
$399 one time
All seven meal plans, the full recipe archive, and future weekly-plan content, yours for good.
All Access Pass Plus
$159 a year
All six Core plans and the Mediterranean plan, billed again each year for as long as you keep it.
The closest yearly option is the All Access Pass Plus, which is $159 a year for the same seven plans and renews every year for as long as you keep it. Lifetime Access is one payment that never renews. If you plan to keep cooking these plans for years, and most of our long-term members do, paying once is the lower number over time. You can see every current rate on the pricing page.
One payment of $399. No renewals, ever.
Why Lifetime Access exists
Some of the people I hear from have been cooking these plans since 2012, renewing every year without thinking twice about it. At some point, that yearly renewal stops making sense for someone who is never going to leave. That is who I built Lifetime Access for.
One payment, and every plan is yours, the way a cookbook on your shelf is yours. No date to remember, no card to update, no note from me asking you to come back. Just dinner, handled, for as long as you cook.

Who is Lifetime Access for?
Lifetime Access is built for the member who already knows the system works and would rather stop thinking about renewals. If you have been cooking from the plan for six months or more, you have renewed at least once, and dinner from The Fresh 20 has become part of how your household runs, this is the option made for you. You pay one time, and the decision is behind you for good.
If you are still deciding whether the rhythm fits your family, Lifetime Access is not where to start. Start with a free week instead, cook from it, and see how a decided dinner feels before you commit to anything. The members who buy Lifetime Access almost always try the plan first and stay for years.
What long-term members say about paying once
Two of our longest-standing members bought Lifetime Access years ago. Here is what keeping it has looked like for them.
“This is why I invested into the lifetime membership, and it’s been money well spent.”
Allyson Novy, Fresh 20 Lifetime member, 15 years
“I made your Moroccan chicken, camp potatoes and grilled peaches from your grilling cookbook. It was a great hit with everyone. I still love all your recipes!”
Lisa Combs, Fresh 20 Lifetime member since 2015
Common questions about Lifetime Access
Is Lifetime Access a subscription?
No. Lifetime Access is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and it never renews. You pay once and keep everything it includes for good, with no recurring charge to remember or cancel.
Does Lifetime Access include the Mediterranean plan?
Yes. Lifetime Access includes the Mediterranean plan along with all six Core weekly plans, so you have all seven Fresh 20 meal plans in one payment.
Does Lifetime Access include Kitchen Passport?
No. Kitchen Passport is not part of Lifetime Access. It is a separate one-time purchase, so if you want the monthly dinner-party countries, you buy Kitchen Passport on its own.
What happens to Lifetime Access when new plans or guides are added?
New weekly-plan content is added automatically. As the recipe archive grows and as we release new cooking guides and e-books, those are added to your Lifetime Access at no extra cost. Brand-new separate products, like Kitchen Passport, are not included and are sold on their own.
How is Lifetime Access different from the All Access Pass Plus?
The difference is one payment versus a yearly one. The All Access Pass Plus is an annual subscription that includes all six Core plans and the Mediterranean plan and renews every year. Lifetime Access includes the same seven plans for a single payment that never renews. If you plan to keep cooking these plans for years, Lifetime Access is the lower cost over time.
Can I get a refund on Lifetime Access?
Yes, within seven days. Lifetime Access comes with a 7-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If it is not right for you, ask within seven days of your purchase for a full refund.
Who should buy Lifetime Access?
Lifetime Access is for members who already cook from the plan every week and would rather pay once than renew every year. If you are still deciding whether The Fresh 20 fits your household, a free week is the better place to start.
