We have tried, probably 45 or so, different meals. We have enjoyed them all, no bummers. There are no leftovers and no wasted food. However there is A LOT of packaging.

We have been using hello fresh in the U.S. for about 1 year now and it’s great! It has improved my cooking skills and the meals are pretty good. I will say that the prep time does take awhile. A bit longer than what hello fresh says.

I have been using Hello Fresh for a while now. I wouldn't say it was expensive though, £45 a week is reasonable for 2 people and take into account your supermarket shopping bill will fall quite drastically. I also like that it is easy to pause weeks when you are on holiday, change delivery dates easy, easily change the plan size, and the meals always taste good and the ingredients are always fresh, and the convenience is great while also trying new meals each week. I did try just buying the ingredients myself, but inevitably I just end up with the same meals and wasting more food because most things you buy in the supermarket are for 4+ people. Most the meals take 20 to 45 mins, so not a huge hassle after a day at work.

The only downside is, in about the year I have used Hello Fresh, there have been a couple of times they missed ingredients, but that is rare and a couple of times a courgette has been broken. Sometimes the recipe sheets are missing, but they are also available on the website and the Hello Fresh apps. Just as an aside, I find it pretty silly that reviews have to be labelled as "honest" now, surely all reviews should be objective and honest, although I guess when reviewers are sent free stuff then it becomes harder to remain subjective and honest.

Meal kit delivery are life saving in a food desert.
I've been trying several boxed meals before and it's been interesting knowing how to cook new food items, fresh vegetables and spices and learning techniques, incredibly low cost and having great ingredients quality so far ! People who think it's expensive come to our place and see how expensive food is getting in rural Canada ... 79$ per week ( HelloFresh) is nothing when we usually spend 450$ per week. It's life saving, convenient, amusing & you can keep the recipes to make them later 😄🙌🏼 Very excited to start another journey 🍔

I live on my own. I have a physical disability and struggle with depression. I find it difficult to think of what fo cookn and orfanise mysellf to buy the ingredients. Having a menu to choose from and being given the precise amount of ingredients really helps me.
II also find I cant muster up the motivation to cook for myself, but HelloFresh meal kits are the only thing that's got me cooking consistently.

Me and the other have have just moved in, he can’t cook to save his life and I’m always too tired after work and always turn to “beige dinners”
THIS has convinced me to try!
I always thought it would be overly expensive but our weekly shop is probably more 🧐

One of the best reviews on Hello Fresh on YouTube! Well done! Ordering more!

[saracatch]

Thank you for that sweetie. I've just ordered Halo Fresh Box but wanted to know what exactly I would get. Looks good from what you have delivered in your video 😊🙏

[debschmitt]

I signed up with Blue Apron, Hello Fresh, Home Chef and now Marley Spoon. I rotate based on what looks good for the week. I like Hello Fresh the best. It doesn't look like much in the box but it does fill you up. I like that you get just what you need for the meal. You could add extra protein( like another chicken breast etc if you felt portion too small) Nice variety of flavors too

[vanessayeboah]

I love the idea that you don’t have to buy a whole bottle of stuff you’ll only use once like rice wine

[imranhuddin]

I enjoyed the chopping up and cooking tbh...found it relaxing lol

[booboyBL]

I am expecting my first hello fresh delivery on Monday. I enjoy cooking but not the shopping for ingredients, so this seems like a good idea. I’ve gone for 3 meals for 2 people each week. I had a discount code, so the first week was only £12, and about £34/week thereafter. I’ll almost certainly try a couple of months as a trial. Thanks for the informative vid.

I love mashed potatoes but you have to make them correctly. Always use butter, milk, salt and pepper and I always use a hand or stand mixer to make sure I get it very smooth

[Suzyfromtheblock]

All looks good, enjoyed this video, you can cut the meat cooking times down too if you use an air fryer.

[greyxfox]

the thumbs up after putting the walnuts on, cracked me up lol

[JustJulesO]

I also eat this 5x per week. If i have to think about what i cook for the week, i just can´t do it and always go back to the same meals. So this helps me eat more different things, some i even have recreated again myself, and i feel i also eat healthier now. Because i have a good meal, i don´t feel the need to snack in the evening. I am trying out 2 different boxes the coming weeks, will see which one will be the winner;p Hello Fresh i have had for a couple months now.

[alanahobyrne]

Such a clear and funny review! You’ve sold me on getting the kit!

[nofilmproductions]

Hi,
An adult usually eats 2 meals per day. If I chose the options 1 person 5 meals a week will they cover the 14 meals I need? Thank you

[wiktoriagwozdowska]

Wait 🥸🤯🤣🤣 the HEAT on card meaning is actually how 🥵 hot the meal is that lets you know if the spices are crazy Thai /curry Indian madnes and I’m myself are a person who don’t like heat also can’t eat them because of my gastro issues so the best tip is when you have a spicy recipe just use tiny amounts of spice i normally not use more than half sometimes even half of half and the meal doesn’t fell hot at all and I can enjoy them :)

[gamer-bytx]
