HelloFresh Review

Meal Plan Options

One of the best features of HelloFresh is its affordability. Prices are the same regardless of which meal plan you select, but they differ according to how many people you wish to feed, and the number of different recipes you'd like to try.

• $8.99 per serving for two people wanting three, four, or five recipes per week
• $7.49 per serving for four people wanting four or fives recipes per week

HelloFresh offers six types of meal plans:

• Meat & Veggies Plan
  Customers can choose from the widest-possible variety of HelloFresh meals.
• Veggie Plan
  Customers can stick to a vegetarian diet with meals focused on veggies, grains, and plant-based proteins.

  A collection of easy-to-prep, kid-friendly meals.
• Calorie Smart Plan

• Quick and Easy

• Pescatarian

The important take-away is that it's completely up to you how, when, and what kind of meals you receive. Each box arrives fresh and complete and ready to be prepared and plated by you. Prices are competitive by any standard, and there's no long grocery list to purchase, no checkout lines to deal with, and no trying to figure out what's for dinner every day of the week. HelloFresh has revolutionized mealtime for millions of people all over the world by making it fun and easy to prepare attractive, nutritious meals in record time.

Shipping is free for initial delivery to new members. Afterward, it costs $8.99 per box. Boxes are delivered once per week, on the day you specify, so you can make sure someone is home to bring them in.

HelloFresh rotates 23 meals weekly but you can check out the next six weekly menus before you even create an account.

Unpacking the Box

HelloFresh boxes arrive cold, so the ingredients stay fresh and at safe temperatures. Inside your box, you'll find thick, food-safe insulation used to keep the ice packs from melting. Packed neatly inside the cushioning insulation, you'll find the ingredients - foods such as raw chicken breasts, ground beef, couscous, fresh produce, and more, depending on your meal selection of course. You'll find all items needed to complete your recipes packed safely inside the box, along with full-color, reusable recipe cards. HelloFresh also ships recyclable ice packs in each refrigerated shipment to keep all foods fresh and at food-safe temperatures.

Although it's a good idea to unpack your HelloFresh box upon receipt, they are designed to stay cold for several hours after the specified delivery date and time. So if you can't get to your box right away, it shouldn't be a problem.

All in all, HelloFresh offers a great deal for the money you'll spend, and you'll have the added convenience of avoiding the grocery store and all the time spent planning a week's worth of meals. Try it today.
