HelloFresh: Meal Kit Delivery 4+

I shopped around with different food delivery services and these are the things I like best about Hello Fresh: the recipe cards are clear and fun to read and use. The app has a cool vibe. The recipes use a lot of ingredients and are tasty. There’s a huge selection each week to choose from. It’s easy to skip a week if you don’t like anything. It’s also easy change the pre-selected meals, or to add or subtract meals. Some meals are customizable— some substitutions are free, while other upgraded ingredients or extras costs a little more. It’s still nice to have these options. I have not had any issues with customer service. One week there as a problem with my delivery (they use a company for this) and I didn’t get my box and they couldn’t send a replacement. As someone else has mentioned, part of the refund is a credit toward future boxes, at the end of the discount promo period. I called and said I wanted the whole refund now and the guy was super nice and credited my credit card right away, no big deal. Good customer service. Lastly, it is kind of pricey—but you get convenience for your money. Buying all those ingredients individually can add up and you would end up with lots of excess stuff. Besides, it’s a great way to try different dishes and learn how to cook things you might not have before. I’m enjoying the service.

I never review apps. I was so impressed with this app that I wanted to share my experience. The app was surprisingly streamlined and exceedingly easy to use. I am able to quickly and easily manage, pause, or change my weekly deliveries. It is simple to update my menu selections week by week. I like that it is not difficult to pause or cancel your deliveries as needed; unlike with other companies, it is very transparent and there are no hoops to jump through.

My favorite feature is the cookbook. You can save the recipes that you like into the cookbook for reference again in the future, or if you loose the recipe card that arrives with the delivery. This way, you can make the recipe again, even on your own if you are no longer having food delivered. You are able to select the number of servings you want to make and the ingredients automatically adjust. The ingredients are shown by picture and title in an easy to follow format. The app walks you through the recipe in a user friendly fashion that is far easier to follow as compared to googling a recipe and scrolling through some blog to a confusing, difficult to follow recipe. Without discussing Hello Fresh's ingredients, delivery, and recipes (all of which I am very pleased with), I highly recommend the app itself to customers wanting to get the most out of their subscription.

Hello Fresh is amazing. I also subscribed to other meal delivery plans to compare and Hello Fresh is the winner. The recipes are delicious and simple enough for me, a non-cook. I haven’t been to buy groceries at a store except for a quick gallon of milk or the non-food necessities, so my budget hasn’t changed. The price seemed high at first glance, but since I don’t go shopping I quit buying stuff I didn’t need. Now I eat real food - real GOOD food. The portion sizes looked small when I got the first box but I’ve been using Hello Fresh for several weeks now and I’ve been feeding myself and two teenagers sufficiently with a 2 serving size selection. So it’s not small, it’s perfectly sized. When I feed only two of us, we are really full. Now I look forward to my box every week and I have really grown in my kitchen skills. I thought I would save the recipe cards and buy the ingredients to make them again, but it’s so nice that they give me exactly the right portions every time, I haven’t needed or wanted to go grocery shopping myself to remake the past recipes. I just look forward to choosing them again sometime. However, there are so many to choose from I don’t think I’ve had the same dish twice in the 6 weeks I’ve been getting Hello Fresh.
