HelloFresh initially selects recipes for you based on your chosen plan(s). You won’t find any breakfasts on the menu. HelloFresh only provides dinners and a few meals called 10-Minute Lunches. ![]() You’ll also be able to choose from extras and sides in the Marketplace once you’ve confirmed your order size and plan category and entered your payment information. The 6 categories you can choose from include: HelloFresh’s weekly menu offers 60+ meal kit recipes and is organized into 6 categories, making it easy to choose recipes that suit your taste and lifestyle. It's a good service for getting your feet wet with cooking and trying new things,but the cost isn't practical anymore when I know I can spend like half and get double the amount of food by shopping for myself.Current deal – 18 free meals + first box ships free + 3 surprise gifts with code DR18HF When we make the meals now from the recipe cards I can make as much as I want for left overs and that's been great because the worst thing about HF was loving the food but not having any left for seconds or left overs. Hello fresh has made me a more creative cook because their recipes are so easy and basic but they taught me how to make sauces or how to put together a meal in a way that i wasn't thinking before. If I liked the sauce from one meal I now have that sauce recipe in my arsenal to use in another way. I find that making them myself is superior because I can take the things I didn't like about the meal and change the veggie or protein or sauce. I stopped after 10 boxes and only went back for 11 because they gave me 75% off and I couldn't resist. Joining hello fresh was never about saving money for me,rather learning new recipes and not having to go shopping. I've been doing the same thing and it's crazy how much money you save by cooking them yourself. This long post has been my way of encouraging some of you all to cut the cord and try to go without HF for a bit - you may surprise yourself! I don’t judge anyone for sticking with them, but we simply could no longer justify the price after the increase. I’ve been so thrilled these 2 weeks to cook all of my meals with HF recipes, without actually needing Hello Fresh. We have bought some of the Tex Mex paste by HF though, and have some Asian sauces we use for some of those particular recipes. Some of the sauces of HF are more difficult to replicate. I have also purchased beef, chicken and veggie concentrates, and have/will put those to good use. I have a nice spice cabinet, and I’ve taken advantage of this subreddit to find how to make my own seasoning blends. The quesadillas were just average, but everything else turned out great. We had leftovers of both the tostadas (maybe my favorite HF meal) and the shepherd’s pie. These were both great and reheated well.ĭinners - Cheesy Smothered Mushroom Chicken, Beef Tostadas, Pub Style Shepherd’s Pie, Chicken Pineapple Quesadillas, Cajun Blackened Tilapia. Meal prep - Szcheuan Pork and Green Bean Stir Fry and Southwest Beef Cavatappi. ![]() Our flatbreads were a little larger than the ones HF give, so we had some leftovers of that. I was pleased with all of these, especially the pork bowls and flatbreads. ![]() Both of these were perfect for lunches and the cavatpapi in particular will stay in my lunch rotationĭinners - Sweet Chili Pork Bowls, Spicy Maple Chicken, Roasted Garlic and Veggie Flatbread, Tex Mex Beef and Poblano Enchiladas, and Pineapple Pork Meatloaves. Meal prep - Sizzling Hoisin Shrimp and Mushroom Cavatappi. We’ll eat out/takeout or eat a frozen meal the other days. I wanted to summarize how that has gone for us.Ī quick rundown of my meal making process in a given week: I do lunch meal prep on Sundays, cooking 2 meals that will make 8 lunches. I estimate I’ve saved around 50% doing it this way so far. But with the recipes available online, and us saving all of our recipe cards, we felt we didn’t need to continue paying $90 a week.įor the past 2 weeks, I have cooked all my meals using HF recipes, but I did the shopping myself. The best thing about Hello Fresh, for us, were the convenience and the actual meals. We decided to pull the plug on Hello Fresh, as I have improved a lot as a cook in these two years and don’t feel the need to pay for the luxury service anymore. With the recent price increase, my wife and I were now paying just over $90 a week for 4 meals. ![]() Hey everyone! I’ve been on this sub for nearly 2 years, when I started with Hello Fresh in February 2020. ![]()
