Meal Delivery Services

Do any of the meal delivery services like Blue Apron and Hello Fresh send you with the ingredients already prepped?

I don't have time when I get home to chop a million things. I would like to find a company that provides everything all chopped and pre-measured. Otherwise, it's not useful to me.

We did blue apron. It's mostly pre chopped etc but meals still took about 30 minutes to prepare.

I can tell you as a customer that Blue Apron does NOT send food chopped, minced, etc. You have to do a lot of the prep yourself.

Hello Fresh doesn't cut it for you. The meals only really take 30-40 mins, though.

Home Chef & Green Chef were the quickest and more likely to have some stuff chopped. The recipe selection was good too

Re: Meal Delivery Services

We get the prepped meals from fresh direct. They are all prepped and you just have to dump the ingredients in a special order into a hot skillet, We love their stir fries. The downside is that they serve 2. It's not a big deal for us because dd1 eats nothing, but at some point this will no longer work for,our family.

We've done Blue Apron and Hello Fresh and although the meals only take 30 minutes - I find it to be a very labor intensive 30 minutes (and with interuptions which are inevitable - it seems to take forever).

I only have experience with Blue Apron but I agree. And I feel like you wind up using a million dishes/utensils to do it!

I LOVE home chef. Tried blue apron and the other one that's popular. By far the best ingredients selection and quality.

Although I have not researched it you probably won't find any service that sends things pre chopped. It hurts the integrity of the produce.

Home chef can be labor intensive. But I love to cook and have no kids.
