Ally Love Hosts Clean Plate Club on May 11

Ally Love hosted the Clean Plate Club brunch on May 11 in New York City, marking the first brunch partnership with Threads and Meta for this community meal series the Peloton instructor created during maternity leave.

The gathering was held at Spring Cafe Aspen, a certified organic cafe at 14 West 4th Street in Greenwich Village, and was produced in partnership with Threads and Meta. Ally confirmed the launch in a Threads post on the day of the event, writing that Clean Plate Club is “something I created on mat leave, and now here we are — today is our first event partnering with Threads and Meta for a brunch event.” In an Instagram Story, she added that the idea came from a simple need: “I wanted a space where I could continue to make connections.”

What Is Clean Plate Club

The Clean Plate Club is the new format at the center of Ally’s relaunched Love Squad community. When Ally previewed the Love Squad restart earlier this spring, she described the new direction as a communal series built around gathering and connection — closer to a shared meal than a panel discussion. The May 11 brunch is that vision in action.

Love Squad has been part of Ally’s work since 2015, when she founded it to empower women through conversation, education, and community. After stepping back to focus on family, she confirmed earlier this year that a Meta partnership was in place to support the relaunch. 

The Venue and Its Founder

The venue choice turns out to be more than aesthetic. Spring Cafe was founded by Sabrina Rudin, an entrepreneur and recipe developer who built the organic, plant-based cafe concept in Aspen in 2013 before expanding to Greenwich Village. Rudin was present at the brunch — and her debut cookbook, Healthy with a Side of Happy: 100 Plant-Based Recipes to Feed Your Family, had published just two weeks earlier on April 28. Her philosophy that food is medicine, and that healthy eating should feel joyful rather than restrictive, maps directly onto the Clean Plate Club’s ethos. The event was not simply held at Spring Cafe. It was built with its founder.

A Year of Showing Up

The Clean Plate Club launch fits a clear pattern in how Ally has operated in 2026. In March, she spoke at the Ignite by 4-H Summit in Washington, D.C., addressing more than 1,800 teens on leadership and personal development. In April, she hosted a Dress for Success benefit ride on the Peloton platform. Days before the Spring Cafe brunch, she appeared alongside cookbook author Melissa Benishay at a New Jersey JCC community event centered on nutrition and everyday wellness.

The Clean Plate Club gives all of that a recurring structure. A communal meal series built around the same philosophy Ally has carried through every class and every speaking engagement: that wellness includes what you eat, who you eat with, and how you feel when you leave the table. For Peloton members, it is the off-platform extension of everything her (Re)Build program pointed toward when she returned from maternity leave. What she built quietly during that time is now in the room.
