HelloFresh is a food box service. It was created for people who want to save time, stop throwing away food, and try different new recipes. In the boxes are all the necessary ingredients, calculated to the gram and recipes for the selected dishes. As a HelloFresh subscriber, you don’t have to stress so much about planning your weekly lunch menu and hauling all the ingredients home from the grocery store.
With both meat and vegetarian restaurants, almost everyone should be happy with the ever-changing recipes and varied flavors that HelloFresh offers. Although the service may cost more per person than similar meals obtained from a local grocery store. If you want to get rid of some of the hassles of home cooking, HelloFresh is definitely worth a try.
If you want to understand how the HelloFresh works, here is what you should know.
When does Hellofresh charge you
HelloFresh is a flexible weekly subscription service, so when you sign up, you are scheduled to receive a box every week. You are charged 5 full days before your scheduled delivery day. HelloFresh will deliver three to five meals a week, from shepherd’s pie to chicken in apricot sauce, according to your plan. All meals are delivered in a refrigerated and insulated box that will keep the food fresh. Plans can be adjusted to meet your family’s needs at any time, and you can even skip a week or change your delivery schedule.
If you want to skip a week, you can adjust this by editing the delivery date of your box in the “Menu” section of your account page.
The company delivers from 8 am to 8 pm, but if you’re not home at a certain time, you can add a special delivery note to your account.
How does HelloFresh work
HelloFresh offers three basic subscription plans: Classic Box, Family Box, and Veggie Box. Although you can choose up to five meals per week in the Classic Box, the other plans are limited to three meals per week.
The Classic Box plan offers meat or fish dishes and side dishes for two people. The price for three meals a day is $69, including delivery. Delivery for four meals a week is $84.90. Five meals a week will cost $99, or $9.90 per person per meal. The Classic Box plan is unique in that you can pre-select your meals each week through your online account. If you like surprises, HelloFresh is happy to select weekly recipes for you.
The Family Box plan provides healthy, balanced meals with meat or fish for up to four people. Two meals a week will cost you $79.95 including delivery. Delivery for three meals a week costs $105, or $8.75 per meal per person.
The Veggie Box plan offers delicious, nutritious vegetarian meals for two or four people. Three meals a week for two people costs $59. Three meals a week for four people costs $109. All meals in the Family and Veggie Box plans are pre-selected.
How to prepare HelloFresh
HelloFresh food is easy to prepare, with cooking times of 30 to 40 minutes offered in most cases. All necessary ingredients are included in the weekly meal delivery except salt, pepper, oil, and vegetable oil, so make sure you have these items on hand. All fresh meat and fish ships in vacuum-sealed containers, and fresh produce and other ingredients come in color-coded bags for easy sorting.
Insulated HelloFresh boxes come with ice packs to keep ingredients fresh on the way to your refrigerator. The company develops recipes around ingredients that can maintain a basic condition for a week or more after delivery. However, HelloFresh suggests making certain recipes, such as using fresh fish, early in the week to maximize freshness.
