Every Meal I've Cooked So Far With HelloFresh

Meal Kit Delivery

Figure 1: All The Recipes I’ve Tried Over the Past Four Months

Back in January, I started using this subscription meal kit service called “HelloFresh”. In essence, each week they deliver to you a box of groceries and recipe cards; thus saving you from a grocery trip and finding the right ingredients. With the promotion, Each serving is about 8 dollars, I think the non-promotion price is around 11 dollars per meal.

Pro and Cons

List of Pros:

• Convenient, no more grocery trips
• Less food waste and stressing about food going back in the fridge
• Get to try different recipes and venture out of what you usually make

List of Cons:

• Much cheaper to just go get grocery and spend some time planning meals each week
• Takes time to cut, cook, and clean
• Actually not as healthy and fresh and you might think

All in all, HelloFresh definitely is not for everyone. However, I do find it well-suited for my current life style and habits so I will keep using it until I get tired of all the receipes.

Photos

I found it kind of amusing to make a meal and then take some nice photos of it. I don’t like to post stuff on social media so I’ll post here instead. There is over 100 photos on this page so please be patient as it may take some time to load…

I will be using a 5-star rating system based on taste.

Stars	Taste
1/5	I’d rather not
2/5	Edible
3/5	On par
4/5	Looking forward to eating it
5/5	I don’t mind having this everyday
