Cooking at my house can be a challenge… the kids want greasy food, my mother-in-law wants something healthy, and my husband always wants something new. I can’t remember the last family dinner when everyone was happy.
I was wasting time and my patience trying to cook multiple meals, including extravagant dishes for my husband. I had to find a solution. My friend Sandi had the same problem and suggested I check out HelloFresh – a meal kit service that would deliver fresh ingredients and recipe cards right to my door. This seemed almost too good to be true but I thought I’d look into it.
Turns out, HelloFresh does everything it promises. It’s a timesaver, it’s convenient, and the food is tasty and wholesome!
Here are 3 reasons HelloFresh will be my go-to this back-to-school season:
✅Nutrition
Once you sign up for HelloFresh your family will never be bored again. They have a rotating menu of 23+ meals each week with cuisines from all over the world. Recipes take about 30 minutes from start to finish, and there are so many different options: vegetarian, pescatarian, low calorie, one-pot wonders, kid-approved meals, quick ‘n’ easy options, and gourmet recipes selected by one of their award-winning chefs. They have such a nice range of plans, and to balance my family’s needs, I chose the meat + veg option, sprinkling in some quick n’ easy meals just knowing how busy our schedule is.
When I made the Chicken Taco Salad with Pickled Onion, Fajita Veggies & Creamy Chipotle the kids said it was super-yummy and demanded more. That never happens. Right then, I knew I’d made the right decision with HelloFresh. And every meal has been equally delicious.
✅Routine
Getting the kids back into a school routine is essential. The ability to select the number of meals (2 – 5 recipes) for between 2 to 4 people takes the hassle out of planning.
All the pre-portioned ingredients are delivered right to my door and meals take around 30 minutes to cook. So, the kids will enjoy a home-cooked meal at some point before midnight! Seriously, there’s a nice cadence to our lives now. A yummy dinner with ample time before they go to bed.
✅Time
HelloFresh allows me to plan out our meals for the entire week. They send me all the ingredients individually packed in recyclable packaging. So, I don’t have to waste time searching out new recipes for the kids or hunting down ingredients and spices in the grocery store.
All recipes have 6 steps max and take around 30 minutes to cook. HelloFresh‘s Quick and Easy plan specializes in 20-minute dinners for easy cooking, and minimal clean-up. A lifesaver for the busy-dizzy days in our school week.
Now that I have so much time back in my day, I help the kids with their homework and even enjoy games and storytime before bedtime.
Meals start as low as $7.49 a serving before any new customer discount – much cheaper than takeout. And the recipe cards have really helped me improve my cooking skills. Suddenly, I’m whipping up dishes I never dreamed possible before. Plus, I can skip, cancel, pause or change my plan anytime.
HelloFresh really is the number 1 meal kit – you should give it a try!
