Pros
Meal planning is done ahead of time
All of the ingredients for a meal are provided
Can learn a new recipe and have the prep cards to keep
No need to go to the grocery store
Good variety of meals available for selection
High quality ingredients
Good packaging so if it sits on your doorstep for a while, it will remain cold
Most meals taste pretty good
Good to spend time cooking with someone else
Cons
Price per serving is kind of high compared to buying ingredients yourself
Some of the prep is tedious
Prep time seems to be geared towards pros in the kitchen
If you don't really have time or energy to cook, it doesn't really help that some of the meals can take up to an hour to fix
Some of the cooking steps can be easy to mess up
Cooking for one is possible with the meals but better for two
Extra ingredients, like tomatoes or limes or lemons, would be nice
If you're concerned about calories in your meals, these meals seem to be pretty high in calories
Overall, HelloFresh wasn't bad, but I wouldn't continue it since I really don't feel like cooking a meal every night when it's just me. Having all of the ingredients for a meal and not having to meal plan is nice, but it's still not worth it to me.
At the moment, I would give HelloFresh an overall 2.5/5 rating. This may change as I try more meal delivery services.
