Review and Discount to Hello Fresh

Hello Fresh recently sent me a Classic package to review.  My opinions are my own though.

I ordered Hello Fresh through their easy site.  I had to make a decision of the Classic (meat) or Vegetable box.   I made the decision, to order the Classic box.   Hello Fresh sent me a box that was insulated and had freezer packs.  There was three meals and enough food for two portions.   You do have the option of ordering for a family of 4. 

If you notice in the picture below, all of the food is labeled.  What I like is even the younger kids can help by grabbing all the stickers that are blue, green, or orange.

The first meal I made was the PureWow: Shrimp and Pasta Stew.   I had to purchase additional ingredients to make this for my family.     As you can see from the ingredient list below, everything bit the Vegetable stock concentrate is whole (you can make your own though).

Shrimp
Celery
Garlic
Paprika
Cayenne Pepper
Lemon
Crushed Tomatoes
Veggie Stock Concentrate
Rigatoni

What I like about Hello Fresh, is that all the ingredients are simple.   My son LOVED the shrimp.   It had just enough heat for him.   I thought it was incredibly easy to make and prepare.   I also love on the recipe card it shows the nutritional values.   All of the food is high in protein!  

The next night I made the Garlic Skillet Meatballs with Baby New Potatoes.  My girls were all over this one.  Their favorite meal is spaghetti and meatballs.

I never made meatballs without eggs before.  But they came out amazing.  My daughter’s only complaint was the green beans.  The meatballs got the two thumbs up to make again.   I prefer to bake meatballs in the oven, so that is the only thing I will do differently next time.
   

The last meal I made was the Apricot Glazed Chicken with Couscous and Lemony Green Beans

Again, it was easy to make.  I will tell you honestly that Hello Fresh forgot to send me the chicken.  So I contacted them and they sent it out the following week.  At the time of me writing this review, I had not received it yet.  This was my husband's favorite by far. 

All of the recipes took 30 minutes or less to cook.  Plus all of the recipes were easy.   I also like how most of the dinners were made in one pot.   Less dishes to clean up!!    I liked how as a Mom, I was feeding my kids good wholesome dinners.  At my home, every dinner has a protein, carbohydrate, and finally a vegetable.    Hello Fresh also follows my philosophy as well.
