I Ate HelloFresh Meal Kits Every Day for a Week-Here's What I Learned

"I'm a big fan of meal kits. Even though I love cooking, living in New York City makes grocery shopping a bit of a slog. Supermarkets can be far from my apartment, and hauling a week's worth of groceries home often leaves me with sore shoulders. That's where meal kits come in clutch: everything you need, pre-portioned and ready to go, delivered straight to your door."

"Normally, I stick to three meals per week-any more feels overwhelming, and I worry I won't have time to cook. But this December, I decided to see what it would be like to cook HelloFresh every night for a full week. With travel coming up and a busy schedule to manage, I figured it would be a helpful way to stay home, catch up on work, and save money by cooking instead of eating out."

Cooking HelloFresh every night for a week was undertaken to save money, stay home before travel, and manage a busy schedule. Meal kits removed grocery hassles in New York City by delivering pre-portioned ingredients, reducing trips and heavy carrying. HelloFresh offers multiple plans — meat & veggie, veggie, family-friendly, fit & wholesome, under 20 minutes, and pescatarian — and claims over 50% market share. Meal selection was simple using filters for dietary preferences, with at least a dozen nightly options and easy identification of high-protein dishes. Nightly cooking became enjoyable and an anticipated evening ritual.
