Life is busy as we know it. No matter how busy we may be, one thing is for certain – we have to eat. The food would be preferably a healthy fresh-cooked meal at home. HelloFresh recently reached out to me to see if I would be interested in reviewing one of their fresh dinner boxes. Of course, I jumped on the opportunity.
The box shows up on your front-door step with all the ingredients to cook three meals. SCORE! No time wasted to try and find a meal nor to go buy the ingredients. As soon as I got home from work, I was so giddy to open up my box. The meal box I received was for two adult servings but it actually fed our entire family of four. All the ingredients are individually wrapped and the exact amount you need for the dinner meal. A recipe card is included that walks you through the easy steps to cook the meal. My three meals were as follows:
Turkey and Spinach Burgers
Lomo Saltado
Yellow Squash and Black Bean Tostada
What did I love about this dinner box?
1. I was able to cook each meal and place on the table in under 30 minutes.
2. All fresh vegetables and meat was used for the ingredients. No worrying about added preservatives or GMO’s.
3. The simplicity of dinner time and knowing that we had more time to spend as our family of four.
Just last week, HelloFresh released big news about this dinner box service. They are now delivering to the entire contiguous United States, which is the first ever recipe kit delivery service to do so. n conjunction with this news, HelloFresh launches its “You’re Better Than Takeout” campaign to allow families across the country to trade in their receipts from dinner purchased at major U.S. fast food franchises and cash them in towards HelloFresh meals.
“Takeout isn’t the only option for a convenient meal at home, you can still enjoy convenient and healthy, self-cooked meals alone, with a partner or with your entire family,” says Dominik Richter, Founder & CEO of HelloFresh. “We’re excited that an additional 100 million people across the country now have access to high-quality and farm-fresh ingredients from HelloFresh.”
The six week campaign encourages families across the country to re-think their choices for dinner, and consider a different option for a convenient and quick meal. To participate, users who have purchased dinner at any of the major fast food franchises can submit their receipts through http://www.hellofresh.com/BetterThanTakeout and they will be eligible to receive credit for up to $50 towards a HelloFresh delivery.
In my opinion, the price for the boxes are very affordable for families. The classic box which includes three meals is only $69 and that includes the delivery charge. The price point and knowing it is all fresh foods really makes dinner time less stressful for a busy mom and dad.
WIN!! One lucky reader will win a month’s worth of HelloFresh boxes (which is worth $280 value).
The box would be great when I haven’t had time to go grocery shopping.
It would save time in several ways, no more trying to figure out what to cook, no grocery shopping, and it would mean no more unhealthy dinners on nights when my kids have extracurricular activities.
With a different child practicing sports multiple times a week, I would love to not have to think about what to fix for dinner when we finally get home!
this would save me time by not having to measure out and purchase ingredients
This would be great to have busy as we have become here latley. 🙂
I’m not much of a cook, so a Hello Fresh box would save time meal planning, shopping and preparing dinner.
What a neat service… Never heard of this!
I’d have a lot more time for QT with my family!
Talk about a time saver! No shopping for ingredients or waiting for things to thaw. I love the idea and love the fresh ingredients
It would save time because I would not have to figure out what to make and I would not have to shop for these things. It would save time and nerves not having to think about all this!
I spend so much time grocery shopping and trying to decide what to make for dinner that this would save me tons of time and aggravation.
A dinner box would save us time because I could put together a quick meal for my family without a lot of planning.
It would be great when I don’t have to cook
The box would save time because I wouldn’t have to figure out what to make and shop for it.
It would give my parents and I more time to spend together.
I could spend less time shopping and more time at home with the kids 🙂
This would save time, a lot less planning out meals
It would be amazing to not have to think too much about what to make, not have to make the unavoidable trip to the grocery store, and just a cool experience!
It would save us time as we are always rushed in the evenings.
We spend a massive amount of time discussing what is for supper. This would take that discussion out. Thank you
It would same me time as I could spend more time with my family and less time waiting in line at the grocery store.
It would save me time figuring out my meal plan for the evening!
We would save time because it makes cooking easier.
On nights were we have sports practices, games etc we usually don’t get to eat dinner till late. Hello Fresh would allow us to eat dinner much earlier and more healthy.

It would save time because I wouldnt have to go around shopping for dinners and the family and I would have time for other things we like to do.
I’m a graduate student and also work full-time. A dinner box would be amazing to help me spend more time with my family since my time is already so limited.
It would be great to not have to shop and just know you had all the ingredients and could get right to cooking!
This would save us so much time because we wouldn’t have to come up with a meal plan and shop for all of the ingredients!

Not having to run out to the store to buy ingredients for dinner would save me quite a bit of time.
I’d spend less time preparing and thinking of meals.
I would have more time to spend with my family instead of being rushed
I am a single mom so it would be awesome not to have to take my boys to the store after I get off work!
I wouldnt have to spend hours finding good recipes and shopping! And it would save us a good amount of money!
It would save time so I wouldnt have to prep the food before dinner.
It would help save me time on grocery shopping and meals planning.
I love the idea and love the fresh ingredients
Save a lot of time and keep us eating something healthy and fresh instead of fast out of a box
It would save shopping time.
It would save me time by everything already being mise en place (in it’s place) right from the box, instead of me having to purchase and then measure what I need.

It would let us eat a healthy meal after we get back from the gym after work. It’s hard to get it all together after working out!
This would be great for times when I’m to tired or busy to go to the grocery store.
It would save time everywhere! Planning, shopping, preparing, and cooking!
It would save time by having the ingredients on hand and ready to cook.
It would help me decide what to cook.
This wouldn’t just help us safe time, it would also help us save money. There are so many days when we’re pressed for time by dinner time and to have dinner done quick, we often opt to eat out or well pick up yucky fast food! This would be a welcome change!
It would save a lot of wondering and thinking time in what to fix for the upcoming meal
We hate having to stop at the grocery on the way home, we’re tired, grumpy and hungry. Not a good combination! This would make one less stop and would be so much easier…
It would save me time from having to meal plan and go to the store, it would also save me some money.
Not only would I save time by not having to go the grocery store to find ingredients but I would save prep time in cooking as well.
This would save me driving to the grocery stores, putting food away, & making a menu.
