All the ingredients, in the exact proportions, with easy-to-follow instructions to make the tastiest meals! I used to think I was reasonably creative in the kitchen, but HelloFresh has certainly proved me wrong. I ordered the ‘5 meals for 2 people’ option, and what arrived was five perfect meals that I wouldn’t have been brave enough to try to make myself. On top of that, the macros are all provided for ease of tracking in MyFitnessPal or similar.
Why Choose HelloFresh?
The key benefits that the HelloFresh business model centres itself around are deliciousness, simplicity, flexibility, no waste, being stress-free and catering to individuals with diverse dietary needs. The meals are obviously delicious, but the benefits that resonated with me most were flexibility and no waste. The ingredients that arrive in your box will all be used entirely for that meal. This avoids having excess foods sitting in your fridge unused and going off.
HelloFresh sourcing, packing, and shipping operations also generate less food waste than the traditional food retailers, and so we discard less food and food packaging while cooking and serving meals at home. They also offset 100% of their direct carbon emissions, making it your eco-friendly Recipe Box of choice! In terms of flexibility, you can choose which day you would like your box to arrive, as well as choose to skip deliveries if a weekly delivery is too frequent. More importantly, you have full flexibility in choosing which meals you want to be delivered. Personally, I sift through the available meals and choose ones that have a shorter cooking time, overall lower total calories, and decent protein content. I’m busy during the week, so being able to make something delicious, within my calories for the day and only in 20-30 minutes has been a game-changer. Also, the fact that the delivery comes straight to my door, means I don’t need to spend extra time at the grocery store.
HelloFresh Subscription
Whilst my overall experience has been resoundingly positive, during a busy week I forgot to log on to choose my meals in time for the next delivery. I assumed that the meals would be the same as what I had chosen for the previous delivery, and the same meals would just arrive again. But, instead, a totally random selection of meals arrived. Whilst not all of them were friendly to my macro goals, I cooked risotto for the first time in my life which was at least a learning experience. In this instance, I learned the hard way about not being prepared for my next delivery or keeping on top of my selections.
Overall, I have been seriously impressed with HelloFresh! It’s easy to follow, suits my lifestyle, allows me to be more creative in the kitchen, and helps me stay on track with my goals. As if any more bonuses were needed, you can also get 50% off your first box with the Gymfluencers discount code HELLOGF50. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!
