We have tried, probably 45 or so, different meals. We have enjoyed them all, no bummers. There are no leftovers and no wasted food. However there is A LOT of packaging.

@nunyabidnis5407 Год назад

@@bear_chills What is whinging?

@zsofben 6 месяцев назад

I agree, first thing I noticed in this video, even though the outer packaging is paper, everything is individually packaged, that's mad. When I try to avoid packaging that doesn't work too well, I'm better off with veggie delivery services that deliver in one cardboard box, then a meat one same system. The spices you can get easily once you get used to what you need.

We have been using hello fresh in the U.S. for about 1 year now and it’s great! It has improved my cooking skills and the meals are pretty good. I will say that the prep time does take awhile. A bit longer than what hello fresh says.

@FromTheAsh Год назад

Great to hear!

@strangev0id 2 года назад

Meal kit delivery are life saving in a food desert. I've been trying several boxed meals before and it's been interesting knowing how to cook new food items , fresh vegetables and spices and learning techniques, incredibly low cost and having great ingredients quality so far ! People who think it's expensive come to our place and see how expensive food is getting in rural Canada ... 79$ per week ( HelloFresh) is nothing when we usually spend 450$ per week. It's life saving, convenient, amusing & you can keep the recipes to make them later 😄🙌🏼 Very excited to start another journey 🍔

@mistymu8154 2 года назад

I have been using Hello Fresh for a while now. I wouldn't say it was expensive though, £45 a week is reasonable for 2 people and take into account your supermarket shopping bill will fall quite drastically. I also like that it is easy to pause weeks when you are on holiday, change delivery dates easy, easily change the plan size, and the meals always taste good and the ingredients are always fresh, and the convenience is great while also trying new meals each week. I did try just buying the ingredients myself, but inevitably I just end up with the same meals and wasting more food because most things you buy in the supermarket are for 4+ people. Most the meals take 20 to 45 mins, so not a huge hassle after a day at work. The only downside is, in about the year I have used Hello Fresh, there have been a couple of times they missed ingredients, but that is rare and a couple of times a courgette has been broken. Sometimes the recipe sheets are missing, but they are also available on the website and the Hello Fresh apps. Just as an aside, I find it pretty silly that reviews have to be labelled as "honest" now, surely all reviews should be objective and honest, although I guess when reviewers are sent free stuff then it becomes harder to remain subjective and honest.

@FromTheAsh 2 года назад

Thanks for your feedback - great to hear of people’s wider experience of using Hello Fresh. But important to note that I was NOT gifted this box and paid full price for it - my review was totally impartial and honest, hence why it was labelled as such.

I signed up with Blue Apron, Hello Fresh, Home Chef and now Marley Spoon. I rotate based on what looks good for the week. I like Hello Fresh the best. It doesn't look like much in the box but it does fill you up. I like that you get just what you need for the meal. You could add extra protein( like another chicken breast etc if you felt portion too small) Nice variety of flavors too

I am expecting my first hello fresh delivery on Monday. I enjoy cooking but not the shopping for ingredients, so this seems like a good idea. I’ve gone for 3 meals for 2 people each week. I had a discount code, so the first week was only £12, and about £34/week thereafter. I’ll almost certainly try a couple of months as a trial. Thanks for the informative vid.

Wait 🥸🤯🤣🤣 the HEAT on card meaning is actually how 🥵 hot the meal is that lets you know if the spices are crazy Thai /curry Indian madnes and I’m myself are a person who don’t like heat also can’t eat them because of my gastro issues so the best tip is when you have a spicy recipe just use tiny amounts of spice i normally not use more than half sometimes even half of half and the meal doesn’t fell hot at all and I can enjoy them :)

I use hello fresh and have for about a year. I find sometimes ingredients don’t get included when it says they have, and sometimes you get a completely different meal kit. I also find that they put broccoli and green beans in almost every meal and very rarely put things like carrot or cabbage in.

I also eat this 5x per week. If i have to think about what i cook for the week, i just can´t do it and always go back to the same meals. So this helps me eat more different things, some i even have recreated again myself, and i feel i also eat healthier now. Because i have a good meal, i don´t feel the need to snack in the evening. I am trying out 2 different boxes the coming weeks, will see which one will be the winner;p Hello Fresh i have had for a couple months now.

@user-ev8lv2rk8i Год назад

“No leftovers” seems like a negative rather than positive and very much seems like a benefit to the company not the customer

@FromTheAsh Год назад

I’m seeing this as a positive - it means they give the correct amount. Leftovers means the meal was too big, and may therefore end up being wasted.

@user-ev8lv2rk8i Год назад

@@FromTheAsh More food does not equate to wastage unless there’s an outrageous amount of fresh ingredients that don’t last long. Having leftovers is generally considered a good thing because you have more food to eat later and considering the price of this service compared to doing a full shop that will provide you with more meals, last longer and cost less. Another important thing to consider is the current cost of living crisis in the country - the idea of ‘no leftovers’ seems out of touch with the struggles of mainstream society.

@Sirius8617 3 года назад

Haha, I understood poison chicken instead of Hoisin Chicken 🤣 and was a bit worried shortly 🤪 Oh wow! Guess you've improved your cooking skills alot in 2020, didn't you?! We tried hello fresh for a few weeks in beginning of our Switzerland Corona lockdown too. Your packaging in the UK looks quite a bit different than what it looks here. They don't do numbered packages here 🙄 you have to figure out by yourself which ingredient belongs to which recipe, I guess it is probably less waste this way. Anyway personally I still think despite they look at ecofriendly packaging it's quite a lot of waste you get delivered. I really loved the different recipies though. Gives you new ideas. Kept those recipes to make the ones we like another time on our own. Will you cook one of the recipes you tried again?
