WHAT TO EXPECT FROM HELLOFRESH
I will be the first one to admit that I’m not the best cook in the kitchen. Growing up, I was spoiled with my mom’s delicious cooking and dad’s great grilling, so I was never motivated to learn. But now as an adult, the realization of needing to have at least some kitchen skills is setting in.
Taking steps to learn how to cook can be daunting, which is why I subscribed to HelloFresh. HelloFresh is the leading meal kit delivery service in the United States that provides you with delicious recipes and fresh ingredients. It’s simple, convenient, and affordable. Here’s what you can expect from a subscription.
Fresh Food
Yes, the food is actually fresh! When I received my first box, I was shocked at how fresh the produce was. Each HelloFresh delivery consists of a big insulated box with all the ingredients for each meal individually wrapped inside. This means your produce will stay cold, even if your box gets delivered when you’re not home.
Portion Control & All the Ingredients you Need
One of my biggest pet peeves is wasting food. I always do the best I can to clean my plate or save my leftovers for another time. HelloFresh gives you all the ingredients you need, measured and weighed, so you don’t have to worry about throwing away food. The only ingredients you may need to supply on your own are salt, pepper, and cooking oil. Depending on your meals, you may need to add some side dishes. Also, I noticed that some meals come with smaller portions than others, so you may want to add additional protein if the people who are eating have big appetites.
Easy-to-Follow & Delicious Recipes
HelloFresh is a great learning tool for people who want to know how to cook. The recipes are very easy to follow and don’t take too long to prepare. The recipes are also delicious. In addition to learning how to cook, HelloFresh introduced me to new recipes that I can make again in the future (you can keep the recipe cards!).

The Choice is Yours
As a HelloFresh subscriber, you are in control of your experience. Whether you use their website or mobile app, you get to decide what type of meal plan you’d like (including dietary restrictions and number of portions), what recipes you’d like, and what delivery date you prefer. Some recipes come with an extra fee, but the majority of them don’t. One thing I like about HelloFresh is that there is no pressure. You can skip deliveries for unlimited weeks and you can even cancel your subscription without additional fees.
Overall, I’ve had a very positive experience with HelloFresh and I look forward to cooking more of their meals!

I love to cook but have always wanted to try Hello Fresh. It’s a little pricey, so I’ve always been a bit reluctant but it looks like it would be a great way to try some new foods. Thanks for sharing!

It’s also a great way to collect new recipes!

I’ve often thought about a meal delivery service like this. My daughter has major food allergies though. gluten/dairy/soy/corn/sugar. I used to love cooking but I’m so tired of it now that I’m older and it’s just me and one kid at home.

Totally get it! I know HelloFresh does have options for certain food restrictions, I’m just not sure to what extent.

I also use meal subscription kits and alternate between Hello Fresh and Good Food. They each have their pros and cons but they’re both very convenient, delicious, and have easy-to-follow instructions. I’d really recommend this for people who don’t want to worry about what to cook next…you just have to choose between the recipes you already chose. 😀

Absolutely!
