HelloFresh

My boyfriend and I have never eaten better. I was never much of a cook before because I could never decide what to prepare. Thanks to Hello Fresh they send me 3 new recipes each week along with the ingredients needed.  The recipes are always tasty and healthy and the portions are perfect for our needs. We have probably lost 10 pounds between us thanks to us not eating out so often and eating better.

The step by step instructions are very easy to follow with most meals taking half an hour to prepare.

My wife and I have been pretty happy with our meals from Hello Fresh. We started using them early last year and it's been a big stress re-leaver as we both have highly stressful jobs.

The meals we prep from their ingredients have been excellent for the most part. What I really like are the flavor combinations which are unique and something we would never have considered before if we were planning the meals.

You do have to be careful sometimes to use items that can go bad quickly as it may not be fresh in a few days. Prepping the meals is pretty straight forward and are easy to make. The food amount for the most part is enough for the both of us. I am a pretty big eater but my wife is not. 

On a few occasions some things have not been fresh. Customer service has been understanding and have reimbursed us the cost of that particular meal.

Overall I have been happy with our meals.

Been using Hello Fresh for just over a month now. I am trying to eat healthier and this is the way I thought to do it since when ever I go to the grocery store I end up buying crap. 

I am glad I tried out meal kits. I have lost some weight now and have found out I enjoy trying different meals and cooking, who knew! 

Unlike some reviews I have read, the ingredients delivered to me has always been fresh.

If you are sitting on the fence about trying out Hello Fresh my recommendation is to go for it.

I tried Hello Fresh for over a month. The meals from the box are really good and taste great. The ingredients are fresh and the recipe cards are perfect for my beginner level of cooking.

 

I was worried about the waste of the packages the meal kits come in but Hello Fresh has made almost everything recyclable. With services like this you are always going to have more waste than buying food from the grocery store but I was pleasantly surprised how little there is.

 

The one thing I didn't like was being tied to a subscription. Our family has a pretty busy life and I don't always want or need the meal kits every week. In fact it would be good maybe twice a month. The problem is I have to remember to log into the website to cancel every week. I much rather specify what weeks I want the meal kits.

The family meal box says it is for a family 4 which is 2 adults and 2 kids. The portions are fine for the adults but the portions for the kids are really small, especially the meat. Apparently each adult according to customer service should get 150g of meat, I am not sure what the kids get but from the 450g to 500g I get of meat, 300 is suppose to be for the adults so that leaves 150g to 200g for the kids. This is fine for really small kids but I have kids who are 9 and 12 and they are still hungry after dinner.

So if your kids are 8 or older you may need to skip the cheaper family plan and go fro the Classic Plan for 4 people. On the family plan they really should specify how old the kids should be if a family is considering going on the plan.
