Hello Fresh! My completely honest review.

About a year ago, my mom sent me a coupon code for savings towards my first order of Hello Fresh!

I decided to give it a try, and we LIKED it!  The meals were conveniently packaged together with really simple instructions. We enjoyed the three meals we picked. I’ve continued to order about once a month since our first box. Hello Fresh makes it easy to cook meals from home that my family will eat and ask for again!

To save some money, I order the meals for two people, then buy some of the same ingredients at the store and to triple the recipe.

Here are the PROS and CONS.

PROS:

• 90% of the meals are excellent
• Easy to follow recipes that your kids can help make.
• I’ve found new foods (and vegetables) that my kids LOVE!
• Convenient!  All the ingredients you need for dinner in one container.
• Saves money because I COOK instead of pick up dinner.
• Healthier than fast food.
• Nice variety of meals to choose from.
• Great customer service.
• Simple recipes/instructions that your 10 year old can follow to cook dinner for the family!
• They send an email at the end of the week and ask you to complete a short survey giving feedback about each meal you ordered. If you complete the quick survey, your name is entered into a drawing for free meals.

CONS:

• A little pricey – about $10 per person.
• Subscription service – You will automatically get meals and get charged if you don’t get online and “Skip” the weekly delivery. I get online about once a month to look at all of the meals and decide when I want to order and when I want to skip.
• You still have to cook. Doesn’t come pre-made.
• 10% of the meals are just ‘okay.’
• About 1 out of 10 vegetables is not super fresh.
