We’re getting all the everyday cooking help we need during the holidays from HelloFresh (and maybe an extra peppermint mocha)
Have you done it yet? Taken out the file folder filled with handwritten recipes? Dusted off the holiday cookbook and flipped straight to the dog-eared pages? Opened those bookmarks in your browser to make sure you have everything you need? What are we talking about? Holiday eating, of course! Or, more specifically, holiday cooking. And, is it just us, or does all of that baking, cooking, plating, and packing for the season make your day-to-day meals feel sort of…daunting? Everyday cooking during the holidays has been a serious challenge for us.
It’s is the sort of meal planning and execution that tends to be a little tricky on the best days. This time of year, add shopping, packing, wrapping, ordering, school recitals, company coming and going, decorating…we need help. And while you’ve probably heard of HelloFresh, if you’re anything like we were, you may not know just how much of a difference it can make. Frankly, we thought it sounded too good to be true. It’s not.
You think you know how HelloFresh works, but let's be sure.
Pick a plan. HelloFresh isn't one-size fits all, and especially as parents, that's music to our ears.
What do you prefer? Meat and veggies? Family-friendly? Fit and wholesome? Quick and easy (although, we have to say, it feels like all of their options are quick and easy). Whatever works best for you and the ones you're feeding, there's a choice that's perfect for you. There are over 100 choices each week for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and more! Oh, and if that wasn't personalized enough for you, make it your own with HelloCustom!
HelloCustom is now included in all plans and gives you the option to change, swap, or upgrade 12+ sides and proteins every week. That means a menu that's uniquely your own with each delivery. Your kid's ever-changing likes and dislikes are covered.
Finish off your picks by selecting the number of people gathering around the table and the number of recipes (full meals) you want each week and you're set. If you need to cancel, change meals, or skip a week? It's no problem.
If you thought that was easy...
Your meal choices show up on your front porch like magic. Okay, so that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but we're not sorry. Full meals are dropped at our door and all we have to do is bring it inside. That feels pretty magical to us.
Maybe you're already used to getting your weekly groceries delivered, but this is next-level. No grocery delivery we've ever used portions and divides up our ingredients into their own labeled bags for us to easily slide into the fridge until we're ready to use them.
And now for the fun part, chef!
Since HelloFresh ingredients go straight from the farm to your door (we can't say that about the grocery store, can we?), you know you're opening something, well, fresh. Each pre-portioned meal comes with divided ingredients, easy-to-follow recipe cards, and clear nutritional info.
And remember that part where you didn't have to fight your way through the store and dig each individual ingredient out of fridge? That means that we enjoy cooking so much more now. We're able to relax, know we have what we need, and enjoy the whole process.
And the whole time, you're saving money!
We loooooove saving money. And we love it even more during the holidays. And we extra-super love it when we can save money and get the best for ourselves and our families. HelloFresh is 25% cheaper than take-out. Cheaper than grocery shopping. Starting at $7.99 a meal, HelloFresh is a wallet-friendly way to eat well and have fun while doing it.
Did we mention the whole "sustainability" thing?
HelloFresh takes sustainably really seriously. They're diligent in sourcing their ingredients from responsible suppliers, and source renewable electricity for all their facilities. HelloFresh also works hard through community impact programs to provide fresh meals to people experiencing food insecurity.
Oh, and you can play a part! Almost all of HelloFresh's packaging is recyclable, down to the ice packs. There's even instructions on exactly how to do it, too, so you don't have to work really hard to do do this part, either!
There’s a reason HelloFresh is America’s #1 meal kit with the most 5-star reviews. It’s been voted #1 four years running in USA Today’s 10 Best Reader’s Choice Awards. And it’s easy (the word of the day) to see just how HelloFresh can make your days so much better. Right now, get 16 free meals + 3 free gifts when you try HelloFresh!
Give yourself back time, money, and love of the kitchen again. We think that’s the kind of gift that’ll last all year.
