HelloFresh Review

Hello! A friend of mine sent me a free week of HelloFresh and the package arrived yesterday. Since I had previously used Blue Apron as well, I naturally compared the two and thought it might be worth posting about. I have not been sponsored by either company and these are my own opinions.


Pros of Blue Apron

I think the ingredients are more interesting, and are not ones that I might normally think to get myself while grocery shopping

Refrigeration of the meat products is better with Blue Apron - the insulated bag inside the box is actually sealed - the HelloFresh insulated bag was not sealed and as a result, the meat had started to leak juices while waiting for me outside my door

Below is the gyros recipe that was one of the three meals I received. I forgot to take pictures of the others (oops).

Pros of HelloFresh

Recipes come as a booklet, which I preferred to three loose sheets (but this may be a con for others, depending on preferences)

With Blue Apron, I had to run an entire dishwasher load of just the dishes/utensils, but with HelloFresh, I found myself only washing probably 1/3 to 1/2 the amount of kitchen supplies

 

 

 

I think I completely missed the mark on this cooking - my salmon skin wasn't at all crispy and my sauce was too runny - but it still ended up tasting pretty good

Also there was supposed to be bok choi in this recipe but I do not like the taste of bok choi so I chose to exclude it
