When it comes to cooking I absolutely adore it, but sometimes during the week when work is tough, I'd rather have a bowl of cereal or hit the ready meals. I know this is a massive slap wrists but cooking a good meal can take time, effort and drive.
I'd seen many companies that do a gift box subscription service and even some with ready done meals, but none of these particularly appealed until I came across Hello Fresh. This is a meal service with fresh and local food so you're eating healthy and reducing your food footprint too. Basically how it works is you can select from a 3 or 5 day meal plans that come to your doorstep but unlike others this is all the fresh ingredients uncooked.
Now I know many will be wondering what's the point if it isn't ready to go? But I assure you it is still an easy process. The wonderful team at Hello Fresh have recipe cards inside the boxes with the correctly measured out ingredients inside, meaning you create your meal with their fresh produce - added bonus its all weighed out so you know your calories!
Day1: Cod with truffle mash and roasted leeks
Day 2: Thick cut pork chop with sage butter and new potatoes
Day 3: Chicken yakitori with crispy red onion and sweet and sour noodles
There you have my three meals made with fresh ingredients; around 400 calories and took 40 minutes to create. I honestly would seriously consider doing this again as its like a cheats way to be healthy - you're getting great food they're just telling you how to do it!
As I mentioned before, you can get a 3 day or 5 day meal plans and you get this for 2, 4 or 6 people. There isn't any subscription, it's very flexible and they offer a veggie box too. One thing I love about their website is that it shows you what you will be getting the next week, so you can get excited about what you're cooking!
If you fancy giving Hello Fresh a go you won't regret it... it's such a genius idea!
