- Meal delivery apps are extremely popular. It’s an easy way to have dinner delivered right to your doorstep, but they’re not without their drawbacks.
- We scoured the internet for an alternative way to eat tasty, home-cooked dinners more often. We discovered HelloFresh, whose offering of globally-inspired cuisines and pre-portioned ingredients caught our eye.

Between looking for new recipes, shopping for ingredients, chopping, measuring and cooking, homemade meals can feel like a tonne of work. It’s no wonder people turn to delivery apps for takeaway.
Sure, delivery apps are readily available. But with all the added fees, they often cost more than a homemade dinner. Not to mention the quality of the ingredients and food that’s sometimes sacrificed in the quest for convenience.
We knew there had to be a solution that was convenient and wholesome that wasn’t beyond our budget. That’s when we came across HelloFresh, a recipe box that sends pre-portioned ingredients and recipe cards – with colourful images – to your doorstep every week.
HelloFresh’s plans are completely flexible and we can skip a week, pause or opt out at any time. So, we signed up. And we can confirm that HelloFresh is the answer we were looking for.
If you are a fan of delivery apps, you’ll love HelloFresh even more…

3. Price
You can’t knock HelloFresh on the price. Their meals start at only £1.26* per serving — only a fraction of what you’d spend on takeaway!
