You’ve probably heard of HelloFresh from every single former Bachelorette. Of all the meal subscription boxes, it’s one of the most present on social media. Every time I open Instagram, I see some bright smiling face in a HelloFresh apron telling me how easy it is for them to make dinner now. I was ready to put those #ad claims to the test…
When you sign up for HelloFresh, you can choose from either the Veggie, Classic, or Family plan. At $9.99 a serving, both Veggie and Classic plans can be selected for either two or four people; Veggie is three nights a week while Classic can be either two, three or four nights a week. And at $8.74 per serving, the Family plan is automatically set for four people and you can get it two to three nights a week.
I selected what’s become my go-to for these meal kit reviews: the classic plan for two people, three nights a week. There were eight meals for me to choose from. One thing I’ve learned from trying all these services is that they love a “Juicy Lucy burger.” At least three or four of the brands have had that as a recipe option, including HelloFresh. I have never even heard of this entree, but Wikipedia tells me it’s popular in Minneapolis. There must be a lot of Minnesotans working in these subscription kitchens.
