I was invited to give Hello Fresh a try for free and, in return, I was to review the product. This is my disclaimer. I was not given anything specific that I had to say, and, you know me, I will not say anything about the company that I do not believe to be true. So, let's get on with it!
Hello Fresh is a company that sends you everything you need to make 3 complete meals for your family - all the ingredients, plus 3 recipes. Each recipe can be made in 40 minutes or less from start to finish. And, from my experience, these meals are delicious!
Here are 11 steps to take you through the Hello Fresh Experience.
Step 1. Go to http://www.hellofresh.com/. Sign up.
Step 2. Pick you kind of box. You have the option of the classic box or the vegetarian box.
Step 3: Determine if you want a box to feed 2 or 4. For my trial, I was given the box for 2. We were able to feed 3 adults per meal and feel plenty filled up.
Step 4: Add the box to your cart and make your payment.
Step 5: Once your payment is made, you can choose which meals you'd like in your box if you've chosen the classic box. Each classic box has 3 default meals and 2 additional meals. If you don't like the default, you can substitute one of the other available meals. The vegetarian box only has the 3 default meals.
Step 6: Wait in anticipation for your box to arrive!
Step 7: FedEx will deliver your box to you. Our FedEx man did not ring the bell when he delivered. I was concerned that the food would be worse for the wear sitting on my porch, but it was fine. Why? Because Hello Fresh does such a marvelous job packing the food. Here is a look at the box and the insulation:
Step 8: Oogle all the great food!
Step 10: Get out the handy-dandy recipe card and create your meal. The recipe card is fantastic.The front side of the card shows you the ingredients you will be using. The back side has the actual instructions. It is large enough for old eyes to see and is easy to read. The steps are clearly laid out with pictures. I used some ingredients I've never used before and felt very confident following the directions.
Everything I needed to create my meal, with the exception of salt and pepper to taste, olive oil, and a small amount of sugar, was in my box. When I needed a teaspoon of chili pepper, all I had to do was cut open the little baggie that was already measured for me. I needed vinegar for one recipe and that was already measured as well.
Step 11: Eat and enjoy!!
Here are the three meals that I prepared.

Here is what I liked about the product:
- All the food was included
- All the food was fresh and looked appetizing
- The recipes were easy to follow
- I was able to try something new knowing that it would turn out well (all recipes are tested to be sure they work well each and every time)
- Customer service is excellent.
- The package arrived when expected.
- You can get a box every week, but you can also choose which weeks you'd like a box and which weeks you'd like to skip. This makes it easy to fit your lifestyle.
The price is a bit hefty for me. $69 for the classic box for 2, $129 for the box for 4. (The price for the vegetarian box is $59 for 2, and $109 for 4)
Overall, I give Hello Fresh a B+, with price being the downfall.
Will I order again? It will depend on budget, but I do know this: If I do order again, I will love what we eat!
