My experience with HelloFresh

Today I want to share with you my experience with HelloFresh, a meal kit delivery service that I’ve been using for a few months now. I know some of you might be wondering why I would pay for something like this when I can just plan and shop for my own meals, but hear me out. HelloFresh has been a game-changer for me and here’s why.

First of all, HelloFresh has expanded the variety of meals I eat and introduced me to new cuisines and flavors. Before, I used to stick to the same boring dishes that I knew how to make or order takeout when I was feeling lazy. But with HelloFresh, I get to choose from different recipes every week that are easy to follow and delicious. Some of my recent favorites are the maple carrot power bowls, sweet heat cauli bowls, and the thai ginger curry.

Secondly, HelloFresh has saved me time and money. As a single person, I get the exact portions and ingredients I need for each meal, which means I don’t have to worry about buying more than I need or throwing away leftovers. The meat-free recipes keep super well, so I can sometimes make them a week and a half later and they still taste great. Another benefit of HelloFresh is that it simplifies my decision making. I don’t have to spend hours browsing through endless recipes or making grocery lists. I just pick three meals from a curated selection of delicious options and wait for them to arrive at my door. This saves me a lot of mental energy and stress.

Thirdly, HelloFresh lets me choose meat-free and animal-free options that match my minimal desire to consume animal products. I do eat meat on occasion, but I find plant-based meals more appealing and satisfying than meat-based ones. This is just my personal preference and opinion, and I respect everyone’s tastes and needs. With HelloFresh, I get to enjoy delicious and nutritious dishes that are made with fresh ingredients, which also have some practical benefits. Without meat, the kits last longer in my fridge and in delivery, and I don’t have to worry as much about cross-contamination when I’m cooking them.

However, HelloFresh is not perfect and there are some areas where they could do better. They claim to be an environmentally friendly company, but their actions don’t match their words. They use Tetra-pak containers and imported foods that I don’t prefer. Tetra-pak is not recyclable in most areas and I would rather have a packaging that recycles well. Imported foods like pasta and chickpeas are unnecessary and wasteful when there are local options available. I think a better solution would be to use steel cans instead of Tetra-pak, which are easy to recycle and more likely to be produced domestically.

Overall, though, I’m very happy with HelloFresh and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to try new recipes, eat healthier, and save time and money. It may not be suitable for everyone, especially if you have dietary restrictions or allergies, but for me it works perfectly.
