Plus, Blue Apron meals seem to have fewer steps than HelloFresh meals. So while you may have trouble at first if you’re just learning how to cook, you’ll probably get the hang of it a lot faster with Blue Apron. However, Blue Apron has video tutorials that you can watch for every meal. Ease of useīoth services say they’re more suitable for amateur homecooks rather than complete novices. The ingredients looked nicer and packaged better. But, based on our experience, HelloFresh wins because everything was more refined. To sum up, we had minimal issues within both kits with the quality of ingredients. But the bigger issue was the fact that our package of steak was leaking. However, it wasn’t overly ripe or rotting. Adding another carrot to our box would have remedied this.Ĭonversely, with Blue Apron one of our veggies was a little banged up. However, this is more of a quantity issue than a quality issue. The only issue to be found was how much one of the veggies shrank during the cooking process.
Ingredient qualityįor the meals I received with each service HelloFresh came out ahead for ingredient quality. While they both have meals that accommodate vegetarians, HelloFresh has the larger variety in vegetarian meals. I suppose if we have to pick, HelloFresh is the better option. Blue Apron and HelloFresh aren’t for you if you’re: They both don’t accommodate special dietary restrictions. Our recommendation is to decide which you’d like more, comfort food type meals that are still healthy to eat or would you like the luxurious experience of Blue Apron. They both offer some meals with Beyond Meat, a meat substitute for vegetarians. They seem like something your grandmother might cook you for dinner. However, HelloFresh meals have a homier quality. With Blue Apron, the meals feel a bit fancier, like a chef would make them, probably because there’s recipes created by real Chefs like Amanda Frietag and Chrissy Tiegen. They offer 15 recipes per week, whereas Blue Apron only offers 11 meals per week.Īlso, the style of meals between kits was different. HelloFresh has the larger selection of recipes each week. I’ve seen services have meals that are over 1,000 calories per serving.Ĭonversely, HelloFresh’s Calorie Smart meals are about half this, coming in around 650 calories per serving. Meal kits can be a great way to eat healthier but not all companies can deliver on that. While there are lots of similarities with both services’ plans, such as two person or family-friendly, it’s HelloFresh’s Calorie Smart plan that makes them pull ahead as the clear winner. In reality, Blue Apron’s free shipping sets them apart from most of the meal kit delivery services as this isn’t the norm. While the price per meal is just about equal, Blue Apron’s free shipping charge sets them apart from HelloFresh. Any discounts aside, Blue Apron can be a bit cheaper than HelloFresh for the same amount of meals per week.
