On weeknights, I either end up making something super basic and quick, or ordering take out, which is not good for my wallet or waistline! I’ve heard the buzz surrounding meal kits, so when I got the chance to try HelloFresh, I was super excited.
They send you all of the pre-portioned ingredients you need to cook a delicious meal at home. After looking at their site, all of the food looked so good. You can choose 2, 3 or 4 recipes a week, and they have awesome add-ons like garlic bread and desserts.
The hardest part about HelloFresh is picking what recipes you want- everything looks so good! There’s over 20 recipes a week to choose from, and they have vegetarian options, low calorie meals, as well as chef-curated and gourmet selections. I chose the Amazing Apricot Chicken, Louisiana Style Tilapia and Crispy Cheddar Chicken.
When my HelloFresh box arrived, I loved how the ingredients for each recipe was in separate little paper bags. I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh all of the produce was, too. After a super long day, I was so tired but excited to try one of the meals. I started with the Amazing Apricot chicken. It was so easy thanks to the easy to follow recipe cards, the whole thing took around 30 minutes. I also like that you can see the full nutritional value of each recipe on the cards. It was so delicious, way nicer than my usual takeout from my local restaurant. Plus, I had enough leftovers for lunch the next day.
I absolutely LOVED the Crispy Cheddar Chicken with Loaded Bacon Mashed Potatoes & Asparagus. The meat was so tender and flavorful, and even though this recipe took a little longer (around 40 mins) it was so worth it. Such a great dish, and a lot easier to make than I expected.
HelloFresh is the perfect solution if you’re trying to make more home cooked meals. It saves time, money and it’s great for sharpening your cooking skills. The best part is the flexibility.
