HelloFresh – ingredients & meal plans delivered to your door
Sydneysiders say Hello to a fantastic idea. If you are busy; sick of trying to think of what you could do for dinner; trying to work out how to cook healthy, nutritious meals or are just tired of the same thing for dinner, take a look at Hello Fresh!
Hello Fresh delivers a box of fresh ingredients to your door with recipes of meals that you can cook using the enclosed ingredients.
Each week the Hello Fresh team of culinary experts, top chefs, dieticians, and nutritionists work together to create the following week’s recipes. All recipes are designed to be delicious, nutritious and cooked in 30 minutes or less! They’re not complicated recipes yet they help you to expand your boundaries trying new recipes and varying your diet. For those who may be scared by that idea, don’t be, they give you a number of recipes and options that you can choose from, so you have the ability to try new ideas that you are comfortable with. Within the recipes we were given we found a fantastic, easy new salad dressing that was delicious and a nice break from our standard dressing. We also enjoyed a chicken recipe similar to what we often have, however this time it was tastier (and most likely healthier) as there were a lot more fresh ingredients used.
All the ingredients for the meals are delivered to your door. They are fresh, sealed in vacuum airtight bags, helping to preserve their freshness. The fact that the meals are designed to be cooked in 30minutes or under is a massive plus for me as we simply don’t have time to spend hours in the kitchen. See the recipe for the Pan Roasted Salmon we created from our box.
I believe there are a number of benefits apart from the stand out time-saving advantage that are received from the service provided by Hello Fresh for busy parents.
- It takes away the stress of continuously thinking of what you are going to do for dinner.
- It offers the opportunity to try new recipes and pushes you out of your comfort (repeat meals) zone in a very gentle yet exciting manner.
- I really liked that it helps to get you to cook with fresh ingredients, especially the herbs and spices, which we often don’t use as we don’t have them.
- It teaches you how to create simple healthy meals and as the ingredients are supplied, there is an element of portion control that occurs.
- You don’t need to go to the supermarket, the ingredients are delivered to your door.
Overall, if you are struggling to cook/plan meals or to have all the ingredients when you need them, Hello Fresh offers a simple, easy, refreshing & healthy alternative to boring, repetitive menus or take-away food. Why not try them today?
