These days, we are inundated with all kinds of subscription boxes promising to somehow make our lives a little bit easier and significantly better. You can subscribe to receive beauty products, clothing selected by a personal stylist and farm fresh food with recipes, every month. Since recently moving into a new apartment and having a nice kitchen to cook in after living without one for so long, I was extremely excited to try out one of the many meal delivery services.
How it works
All of the ingredients are pre-measured for you and the recipes require minimum prep work. Then, all you have to do is follow easy step-by-step instructions and 30 minutes later you will have an Instagram worthy meal. Seriously though, I sent pictures to my parents of one of the meals I cooked and they could not believe what a good chef I was. I didn’t bother telling them how incredibly easy Hello Fresh made it.
The benefits
After a long day of school, work, or my internship, it is comforting to come home to a nice meal that isn’t pasta or instant ramen noodles. This service has upped my kitchen game! I officially feel like an iron chef.
The reason I decided to try Hello Fresh was because they were offering a coupon for your first order. The plan I chose was four meals for the price of two. And while my roommate and I have very different schedules, if we both weren’t home to eat whatever the other had cooked that night, one of us had a fabulous leftover lunch the next day.
The verdict
While this service is a little too expensive to purchase every week, in the future I may order a week’s worth of meals if I have a particularly long and stressful seven days ahead (hello finals!).
