My Experience Trying Hello Fresh Meal Kit Delivery Service
I want to open up by saying this is NOT sponsored by Hello Fresh and I’m not getting paid by Hello Fresh or any other meal kit delivery service. I’m trying all of them so that I can share with you the ups and downs of each one honestly. I’ve already written about Every Plate and why I CAN NOT recommend them. My social media feed is FULL of ads for Every Plate and sponsorships with other bloggers and influencers promoting them. If they spent half as much on their actual product and customer service as they do on marketing, they might be a company I could recommend. I also don’t recommend Blue Apron, but I haven’t gotten around to a full review of them yet. I can cautiously recommend Gobble because we did enjoy our boxes with them and I definitely want to circle back and use them a little more to see if they hold up.
I’ve been a Hello Fresh subscriber for several months now. I’ve probably gotten 15 boxes or more from them. So it’s time for me to share my experience!
When your Hello Fresh box arrives you’ll find your recipe cards on top and then you’ll have each recipe’s ingredients (minus the meat) in a labeled bag. I take those and put them straight in the fridge as is. Then under the ice pack you’ll find your meat, that too, goes straight in the fridge.
But, wait! How do you get to that point of having a Hello Fresh box delivered to your door in the first place?
Well, first you have to sign up. Since I am currently a customer I have the great fortune of being about to offer you a FREE box! Just use this link to claim a FREE box on me so you can try it for yourself! Plus, you’ll get three FREE gifts!
Once you sign up, I highly recommend downloading the app. It makes selecting (or skipping) your weekly menus so easy! Just make sure you’ve made your selections or changes the week before your box is due to ship and on your designated day, dinner arrives at your doorstep.
I have never gotten any recipes that were difficult to make. Everything has been super easy to whip up! In fact, my 15 year old son does a lot of the Hello Fresh cooking!
The meals have been so tasty! There have been a couple recipes that we were like, oh, that’s okay but it’s not my favorite. But more often than not we LOVE them. I’ve even added several recipes to regular dinner rotation because we liked them that much! (Sweet Thai Chili Meatballs, Firehouse Cheeseburgers, Crispy Hot Honey Chicken, just to name a few). Which, was the whole point of trying these meal boxes – to get out of a dinner rut! I needed new things to try for dinner and this has proved to be a fabulous solution!
The convenience of having everything boxed up and sent to my door is just a bonus.
I am by no means a food photographer but I have tried to get photos of some of these delicious recipes!
So why does Hello Fresh make my list of meal delivery kits that I can recommend?
Well, for starters the ease of use of the app, the recipes themselves, the ease of delivery and the consistency of these factors are what have had me going back to Hello Fresh for food delivery two or three weeks each month for several months now.
Also, their customer service has been good the one time I needed them. If you read my Every Plate story, their customer service is not good.
