I don’t know if you guys have noticed or not ( I share it on Insta Stories all of the time!), but HelloFresh has become a staple in our home the past couple of months. Every time our HelloFresh Box appears at our door, it’s like Christmas and it’s so exciting on those Sunday’s when I think I have to go to the grocery store and meal prep for the week and then realize I don’t because my HelloFresh Box is being delivered that week!
Literally the best feeling.
Before I get into all of the reasons why we love HelloFresh, let me explain what exactly it is and how it works.
So what is HelloFresh?
HelloFresh is an all natural meal delivery service. When you sign up, you pick a plan based on your dietary needs. So whether you’re vegetarian, gluten intolerant, you have a nut allergy or whatever it may be, they have something for everyone. So you pick a plan, how many people are in your family, how many meals you want per week, and on what day you would like it delivered. Then bam, dinner (& in our case, lunch as well) for the week is at your doorstep.
It’s amazing!
Why We Love Hello Fresh In Our Home
It’s delivered right to your door.
Your HelloFresh Box is delivered right to your door, which is so incredibly convenient. They deliver 7 Days a week, free of charge. You tell them your schedule and when you would like it delivered and if you’re not home when you package is delivered – no worries! Their boxes are insulated with liners and ice packs to keep ingredients cool until you get home.
Everything comes perfectly packaged.
When you open up your HelloFresh Box, everything is packaged perfectly. You’ll see all of your meals in separate, what I like to call, brown lunch box bags, and in each of those bags are all of the ingredients you will need. And let me add, all of the ingredients are perfectly packaged for the exact amount that you will need for each recipe. It’s makes cooking so convenient.
It’s so easy.
All of the recipes are incredibly easy to follow. Because everything is already measured out for you in the packaging, you really just have to follow the steps. Even Colton will cook if we have a HelloFresh meal, and I am pretty sure he enjoys it too because the meals are so good and totally different from what we would normally have.
The meals are totally customizable.
Every plan is completely customizable and you can change your preferences anytime you want. So let’s say you’ve decided to go low-carb – there’s a plan for that. Did you decide that you no longer want to eat beef or pork and only chicken and fish? Well, there’s a plan for that as well.
It mixes things up.
If we are not cooking our HelloFresh meals, we have a set five meals that we cook in a constant rotation. While those meals are amazing, it’s so nice to mix it up a little bit and cook things we would normally never think to cook! Plus, HelloFresh creates 15 new recipes every week, so every meal really is totally new and different from the last.
Fresh, real, healthy meals.
The ingredients are real and they are fresh. HelloFresh works with credible, family-owned suppliers and they know where every single ingredient comes from, which takes the worry away from me. I try to be as healthy as possible and it’s nice knowing they are doing the hard work for me.
It’s affordable.
It’s incredibly affordable. Colton and I like to save where we can and this is one of the ways. Each serving is $9.99, which for us comes out to $59.94 a week which is such a steal when you think about how many meals we are getting out of it.
How Colton and I order.
Each week is different, but before ordering, we look at our week and see what it will be like.
Are either of our parents coming over for dinner? Do I have a lot of events? How much will we really be cooking? These are all factors that come into play!
But on a normal week, if it’s just Colton and me, we will order the classic plan, for two and then request three meals. I like them to be low-carb and either consist of chicken or fish over beef or pork.
Since the portions are really large, I split my meal in half and the half that I do not eat for dinner, Colton takes for lunch the next day! This works for us because I always have a smoothie for lunch! We usually cook our meals Monday night – Wednesday night, which gives us dinner for all of those nights, plus lunch for Colton Tuesday – Thursday.
