Do you love things that made dinner prep easier? What about cutting down on trips to the grocery store? What about cutting down on dirty dishes? Me too! That’s why I decided to give Hello Fresh a try. Spoiler alert! I was not disappointed! If you’re interested in learning more, keep reading for my full Hello Fresh review and cook with me video!
What is Hello Fresh?
Hello Fresh is America’s favourite subscription meal kit that makes dinners easy and delicious. To get started, all you have to do is choose a plan. They have a variety of plans to choose from. My plan is two people, three servings per week, meat and veggies, for $62 a week. Since I live alone, this gives me at least six meals for the week!
Meal plans: Veggie, Meat and Veggies, Family Friendly, and Low Calorie
Number of people: 2 or 4
Number of meals per week: 3, 4, or 5
Every week you get to choose meals based on the plan you choose from above. Once you choose your meals, set a day for them to be delivered each week! It’s that easy!
Benefits of Hello Fresh
Since joining, I’ve noticed a lot of benefits from using Hello Fresh.
Easy user experience
Choosing your meals is easy! You also have the option to add extra meals onto your order that week as well as small add-ons like garlic bread or dessert.
Don’t want meals for a few weeks? Hello Fresh makes it easy to opt out and you can cancel your membership any time. No questions asked and all you have to do is click a button!
Environmental
Another thing I love about Hello Fresh is that they keep the environment in mind when creating packaging and during delivery. Not only is their carbon footprint 25% lower than other meal kit services, but they offset 100% of their carbon emissions! Their packaging is very easy to recycle as well.
Less food waste
I don’t know about you, but as a single woman, I tend to waste a lot of food! Now that I’m using Hello Fresh, I never throw away any leftovers and ingredients never go bad because I didn’t get too use them all.
Recipe Reviews
Now to the fun part, the meals! I was skeptical about how things would taste, but oh my god, everything I’ve had was so good!
Pork Carnita Tacos
This was the first meal I tried. Holy moly, it was delicious. It was also the first time I had tried a poblano pepper and now I can’t picture my life without them!
Difficulty: 2/10
The most difficult thing about this recipe is just chopping and slicing all of the produce. If you have good, sharp knives it should be a breeze!
Portions: 3/2
What do you mean three out of two? Well, while I ate the given portion sizes, I could have easily split it into three meals!
Taste: 10/10
OMG, these were SO GOOD! I was full after one and very full after two, but they were so good that I had to eat taco #3!
Mozzarella Herb Chicken
This chicken is gooey, crispy, and juicy! The couscous was buttery and lemony. I could easily eat this once a week!
Difficulty: 1/10
The most difficult thing about this recipe is, well, nothing!
Portions: 2/2
The portions of each serving are really good. You feel full, but not overly stuffed.
Taste: 10/10
This dish is freaking delicious! Buttery, herby, crispy, and juicy. I think that’s a winning combination!
Juicy Lucy Burgers
The Juicy Lucy burger is so good! It’s stuffed with cheddar cheese and topped with roasted garlic mayo and tomato onion jam. WOW!
Difficulty: 2/10
The most difficult thing about this recipe was stuffing the cheese into the burger patty. I don’t know what it was, I just don’t think it’s a skill I possess!
Portions: 2/2
This burger is so filling! Again, it fills you up but not to the point of feeling like you’re going to pop. You feel content.
Taste: 10/10
The juicy burger mixed with the roasted garlic mayo and tomato onion jam is a winning combination. I’m not sure I can eat burgers without that jam from now on. It was truly incredible!
Final thoughts
As you can tell, I’m a huge fan of Hello Fresh! Everything I had was delicious and really easy to make! In fact, it was so good that I’m convinced you’ll love it too!
