Hey Food Box HQ Family! Today we're unboxing, cooking, and taste testing HelloFresh.

We tried them out back in 2017 when they were fairly new and wanted to shoot another review video to show you what's changed since then. Enjoy!
Have a question about HelloFresh we didn't answer? Let us know in the comments below and we'll get back to you asap!

Hi Food Box HQ family 👋🏻 if you found this review helpful, I’d love if you could scroll up and click that like button 👍🏼😊 thank you so much!
Hello I have free food for 170 euro and I can sell it to you for 70 if you want
I’m thinking of trying hello fresh . Is it worth it ? I have questions.
@@cgilley7700 Well worth it and truly real fresh food ...much better that junk from fast food and chain restaurants that buy there food from Trucks like PFG and Sysco...which is just pretty presented GMO CRAP
I did 😉
That’s what I did
Save the recipe cards so that you can use them in the future. You'll have an idea of what to cook.
Hahaaaaa. This was my thought exactly. I just want to try it. I don't want to subscribe so I was thinking the recipe cards keeps me coming back to the delicious food on my own price and terms 😁
Good idea 👍
Exactly what I plan on doing after I try the subscription out for a little while. Then save 70% by shopping for the ingredients myself. lol
Damn just make a recipe book with hello fresh stuff and buy the ingredients yourself lll
No
It seems that Hello Fresh would be a perfect option for ppl that are too stressed/busy from work/studies, or for those who recently moved out on their own and have minimal culinary skills.
So the option is to either keep subscribing or later start buying groceries on your own after feeling comfortable with cooking. Not to mention you can keep all their recipes.
Absolutely 😆 I do cook but it takes me hours to think about recipes and think and plan what groceries to buy. Lately I just became very busy and turn to hello fresh 🧡
Their food is non GMO and No Hormones....Its REAL FOOD....even big restaurants order there food from a Truck and the Quality is Aweful....HELLO FRESH IS SOOO MUCH BETTER THAN OTHER FOOD CHOICES...unless you grow your own food
@@anransun5955 why not make like a Pinterest full of recipes or a list
No, not a perfect option. It's heavily overpriced.
ya seems like its actually for people who do not want to make a grocery list and do grocery shopping.
My wife and I literally licked our plates clean after the pecan crusted chicken. We love hello fresh so much, thanks for the review!
Haha happy to hear! The firecracker meatballs and shepherds pie are our favorites :).
Disgusting
As a mostly stay at home father and soon-to-be husband that is the chef of the house, this meal looked so easy to prepare. When you stated that this is a nice option for dinner plans and only having to get the simpler things at the grocery store made me chuckle; I said the same thing to my wife. Also, this seems like something I could have a date night with her and finally show her how to cook, since you said the step by step was great.
Wonderful review. I'll subscribe and thumbs up. Thanks and cheers 🍻
Spidey is a stay at home husband, teach me your ways
I was skeptical of Hello Fresh for a long time but decided to give it a try - and I absolutely love Hello Fresh! I’m super busy, juggling a full time job and full time doctorate school and Hello Fresh is definitely the best option for me who’s a picky eater.
Hello fresh changed my life. Every night is a culinary adventure. Whereas meals used to be boring and we couldn't come up with good ideas and while we ate healthy the food was kind of bland, hello fresh makes the seasoning and the sauce that makes every meal a restaurant meal. A thousand stars
I work as a Quality control at hello fresh, we try to do our best to keep families happy and safe.
But that box was very unorganized ☹
I think she took everything out the day before and repacked it to do like a “unboxing” cause she said she got it the day before and I doubt she left the food in there overnight.
@Jules G what?
This box was much more organized than mine. I've received three boxes so far. Two of the boxes were missing ingredients and the last one looked like it was literally thrown together and the recipe cards were all ent up from being thrown in the box and not placed on top. The meals are delicious though...
@@Chey12 ugh good to know. I just cancelled HelloFresh and got EveryPlate since they are both owned by HelloFresh. The reason I switched is because EveryPlate is cheaper, it’s just not in individual bags like HelloFresh is
@@Chey12 wow, I was about to order my first box. Nevermind then. I was debate about wether to meal plan and stick to it because my friends ordered hers but still end up spending money at supermarket on food and drinks.
We've had Hello Fresh Meals nearly every night for about a month now. I gotta say, their meals are unbeaten with us. Really good every time
They’re definitely one of the strongest meal kits out there. Good value compared to many others too.
I matched all the ingredients from Publix and HelloFresh actually turned out to be a few dollars cheaper, so not too bad.
Nice! Ya a lot of meal kits are less expensive than people think.
Please add subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing. I like to hear what you have to say about HelloFresh. Thanks!
We'll research how to go about doing this!
@@FoodBoxHQ Google has already converted everything anyone says into text. I turned mine on just last week. Just go to your video in TH-cam studio and turn the closed caption ability on for your video. It’s 99% accurate!
read their mouth
How are deaf people gonna hear what they have to say? 🤔
Ha you can’t hear
We have tried about 12 different meals so far and we are impressed. All have been tasty and portions are enough. An additional bonus is there is no excess food to throw away. Most of the meals could be easily duplicated if you wanted to.
Have tried hello fresh, all ingredients were fresh and delicious. Had my doubts but will be subscribing to them from now on.
Such a well made, well prepared video, and I enjoyed your personality. You thoroughly made clear the experience of Hello Fresh! Thank you!
Thank you! So glad you found it helpful :).
I just wanted to say, thank you for making a professional video and explaining everything nicely without incessantly tapping on every single item lol Just an annoyance of mine when people make videos and point and tap every 2 seconds on whatever they're talking about😂
Oh thank you for the kind words :)
Nobody needed to hear about your pet peeve 😑
I’m 21 and don’t know how to cook so I was thinking about doing this to learn 😭
Great option for learning to cook!
This entire comment is me. Hoping the best for both of us, Love! 💜😂
Literally 21 here and just ordered my first box because I can’t cook to save my life 😔 I’m also kinda picky so it was a little difficult picking the food
@@jenniferattenello2544 no literally me, I’m so picky it’s a struggle. It’s so annoying and I wish I could just like everything that everyone else likes but here we are 😓
@@jenniferattenello2544 how did you not learn to cook in your 21 years of life?
Many food banks can use the boxes, liners and especially ice packs. These are especially useful now, since they're doing more curbside and deliveries than usual.
oh good idea! i'll reach out to our local food bank and shelter today!
Yeah, throw your garbage at the food bank.
@@chrismemphis8062 ho ho
@@chrismemphis8062 Thats not garbage they are still very good and strong stuff and yes it would be perfect to protect food for the food bank!!
I never thought of that next time I get ice packs & sturdy boxes from having something mailed to my home I'll send them to the food pantry with a note "Nice sturdy box & ice packs for you to use for your deliveries."
I’m retired and disabled, so I decided to try HelloFresh and Factor. I like the convenience of Factor because they’re precooked frozen meals, but they don’t heat up in the microwave just right; although they taste great.
I’m hoping that the HelloFresh works out better for me. I may do a bit of both...
Thank you for your reviews!
I have never saw a hello fresh box packed as nice like yours.
Great review! Very informative, really appreciate it!
Thank you so much! 😃
Your review made me get a box to review it as well thanks 👍
Thanks for this review! I plan to try my first meal kit next week and am excited to do a review on my channel! You are so close to 100K! Congrats! One more new subbie here!
Aw thank you so much!!
@@FoodBoxHQ Absolutely!
You shouldn't put the steak in the pan until it's "ripping hot," as ramsay would say
Lol .... u follow Ramsay to learn cooking or learn swearing ?
I dont follow Ramsay but I do put my meat in a hot pan first 🤣😅🤣
No for the steak you need to let it sit out for a bit to let it defrost a bit.
😂😂
@@switchdogdotorg The point is that you need to let the pan get very hot first or you wont't sear your meat.
Their foods are really good. My husband is gone a lot so daily harvest works more for my needs but I really enjoyed their service.
Looking forward to getting my first soon. Thanks for the great video! Gonna check out your Freshly video.
aw thank you!
How was it?
@@louierivera330 We're loving it! Highly recommend. Don't expect to save money, but definitely save mental energy. You still need some cooking skills for HelloFresh. I think a newbie at cooking might have a hard time, depending on the recipe.
Don’t waste your money
I got a promo card from a Best Buy order and decided to give it a shot. I’ve been needing to get back to eating nice, healthy, home made foods, because with the kind of work I do, it’s so easy to just live off of fast food and frozen pizzas. So I’m excited to start my subscription.
Check out the firecracker meatballs, they’re one of my favorites!
That’s why I’m here lol. Came with my Nintendo Switch. But. I still gotta make the food after getting it? I’m out
9 months later. What’s your opinion?
This the best most fulfilling explanation of what needs to be done step by step.
Thank you!
Meal kit delivery are life saving in a food desert.
I've been trying several boxed meals before and it's been interesting knowing how to cook new food items , fresh vegetables and spices and learning techniques, incredibly low cost and having great ingredients quality so far ! People who think it's expensive come to our place and see how expensive food is getting in rural Canada ... 79$ per week ( HelloFresh) is nothing when we usually spend 450$ per week. It's life saving, convenient, amusing & you can keep the recipes to make them later 😄🙌🏼 Very excited to start another journey 🍔
That’s great to hear!
We just got a promotional weeks worth of Hello Fresh. We’re on day 1 and the meal was tasty, albeit pretty simple recipe. My big beef is the packaging. It’s a crazy amount of waste. And yes some of it is recyclable, but only 10-20% of what we put at the curb actually gets recycled. So I look at it as all going to the landfill.
I just ordered a Hello Fresh package. I just had a quick question. How long did the ice pack last for?
love this vid, very straight forward and wholesome
Thank you!
Tremendous food review and I absolutely love Hello Fresh. Reasonably priced and the food is delicious. Easy to prepare for us bachelor types. Great vid!
Thank you! 😃
Helpful video thanks!
Dang you’re really cool! For a second there are zoned out and I was enjoying watching the cooking. And then for some reason watching you eat was satisfying. Well also keep in mind I’ve been on an intermittent fast for 25 hours now lol
haha fasting that long will do it!
for me it’s less about not knowing WHAT to cook but needing the convenience… like not having to find and put things together every single day
This is a great way to make diff meals everyday. You get about 25 dishes a week to choose from. I live alone and got the serving for 2 and it feeds me for two days straight for dinner. It’s only $62 dollars for 6 meals. And you can save the recipes and duplicate them if you like!
Ikr!! Just a question, do you make the whole meal on the same day and reheat your food for the next day (since it’s a serving for two) or do you just make half of it and then the other half the next day?
Love this review... it has info by the jug.
Great cant wait to try this
First week using it. Very nice.
We’ve loved everything we have gotten from Hello Fresh!! Definitely delicious 😋
Nice!
Great video! Loved it.
Thank you!
I didn't know it involves this much cooking. Thanks for the video
This video quality is out of this world!
Thank you!
Very helpful. Thank you.
You're welcome!
I am just getting this , I ordered it today.
Thks for your vid! I ordered my first 3 meals per week for 2 people waa! I am so excited!!! 👏🏼 great video!
What’s that cost?
Hi Emily, Will you be doing a review for Territory Foods? Thanks
Will definitely check them out! Thanks!
I'm enjoying my food!
I've been using them for 3 weeks.
My family has liked everything.
Great to hear!
Their foods are super good and easy to prepare
I don't mind doing more involved cooking on the weekend, but not everyday. I would like to see what it's like on the time-saving plan, particularly in combination with the calorie conscious plan.
apparently they have a 20 min meal plan
Here's the thing. I'm single. When I go to the grocery, I look for vegetables that are not sized for families. Why, because it's a real waste having to throw thing out. But, if I can get small mixes of vegetables that are already preped, I can toss them in a pot with ramen or such. Simple, fast, and not wasteful. Anything that takes more steps than that on a weekday is not happening.
We just got our first box today from Hello Fresh. The stuff was just thrown into the box and the bags were wet for some reason. We cooked our meal as directed and, as you said, it's a bit more involved than we thought. It tasted okay, but we won't be staying with the program, as it's just too much trouble.
I think it's best for people to know that things like your oil and some spices may be items that you require from your own pantry. I haven't tried Hello Fresh but I have noticed that they don't send any oil unless it's special to the recipe for something. Hopefully, the website tells you what you need from your own pantry or maybe the recipe cards do.
Yep! One of the nice things when picking out meals is that they will tell you what is not included (so, what you'll need in your box). 99% of the time it's salt, pepper, and oil.
Thank you for not making a 30min long video. It's short and very informative. Spot on!
I am curious about signing up for a family of 4 but I am only given the 3 meal per week option. It doesn't show any more information to know if this is 3 meals a week per month or just for one week. Despite of looking at their very confusing FAQ couldn't find an answer to this. $99 for 3 meals for a family of 4 is quite pricey. However, if it's $99 for 3 meals a week for a month then it's a good deal.
So happy you enjoyed the video :). I noticed so many other meal kit reviews ramble on for 30+ minutes so we try to make these as short and informative as possible!
Hmm, you're right! For a family of 4 you "should" be able to get up to 6 meals per week. I think what's happening is that so many people are signing up for HelloFresh because no one wants to go to the grocery store right now so Hello Fresh may have reduced the amount of meals that can be ordered right now (it should go up).
Also, the more meals you get, the lower the price per meal goes. I believe that with family of 4 at 6 meals per week comes out to around $8 per serving.
Excellent food very easy to make
Very well shot Sweetheart 🍸⚡
thank you!
I'm trying my first meals, website was a bit of a bully but it's done.. oh well gonna give it a try. I wonder if they have keto friendly meals?
Looks good 😋
Thanks for the video this was very tastefully done! You also should be a model. Your skin is flawless
That is so sweet of you to say, thank you so much! My skin definitely doesn’t always look as good lol
Do they deliver the stuffs to you on the day you order them or you have to wait for a few days for them to reach the destination?
From what I saw, they come on fixed days. For me its every Sunday, but idk if its different elsewhere.
I'll just keep going to the store, seems much more simple, cheaper, and more convenient.
This couldn't be any simpler. It is not to be a complete grocery replacement program.
I could use this due to my severe arthritis.
Convenient is subjective. My wife and I both work, so not having to plan meals, having everything ready to go, and being able to make this is less than 45 minutes is convenient.
If I didn't enjoy cooking and sipping my wine so much (it's a relaxing activity for me) I would probably give HF a try. I get why people would use the HF option.
I was skeptical of Hello Fresh, but my sister was adamant I try it. She sent me a box. I love Hello Fresh. The food is really good and the produce is fresh and they even send fresh herbs. They make a big difference compared to stuff from a shaker. The directions are fairly simple. Only once or twice did I find an issue. It was minor. It told me to use 2 tbs of butter, but never told me what to do with it.
Glad to hear you’re enjoying using them!
Why not just go to the supermarket, buy the same ingredients and just go from there?
When things like butter are needed are they included in the box?
I'm a widow, with a knee problem...infact having surgery soon.
I've had hellofresh before and love the recipes and the food is fresh and delicious. I received my order today of:
Yucatan citrus chicken bowls
One- pan cantina shrimp fajitas
Brown sugar bourbon pork meatloaves &
Creamy dreamy mushroom cavatappi
Really delicious
Happy to hear😃
Is so worth it I love it I started 2 weeks ago and I really like it and enjoy learning to cook 👨🍳
Great to hear!
Nice review! Do you have to try EveryPlate?
Thank you! Yep we have. Here’s that video :) th-cam.com/video/7_B9Z7ZmzxY/w-d-xo.html
Thank you, thank you
You are very welcome!
Nice Video! thank you!
Thank you!
Looks pretty good
I love hello fresh, but the longer I kept the subscription, it seemed the less fresh the produce became. I have had to go buy ingredients to complete the recipe. I do like the meal prep.
I’m not exactly sure what you mean by add on, just little extras you can add onto your order?
I subscribed for the dimples
Me clicks on this vid and gets a hello fresh ad lol
Lol! Really??
Food Box HQ yea
In terms of paying: is the subscription weekly based, bi-weekly, or monthly?
you can suspend but normally you pay for every week , every box (because you always get 1 box every week).
You can cancel at any time the week is over (though only until sunday the week before usually, its on their website more info)
I would be interested in Marley Spoon! I was not very happy with hello fresh. Could you review them please? :)
Definitely! We actually reviewed them a while ago but we're planning on re-reviewing them soon :-) here you go: th-cam.com/video/imBQI6Bi8AU/w-d-xo.html
I got a free gift card for Hellofresh but it's used for discounting purchases. I already know how to cook my own food, so I'm not sure if there's a point in buying their meal kits even if I have discounts.
That meal looked good.
Pros: My daughter gets Hello Fresh and she said its DELICIOUS! Shes a very very picky eater and for her to say its that good, i have to take her word for it.
Cons: Its very expensive. To pay 95.00 for 4 meals that i can buy at the grocery store and make myself for ½ the price is a better way, BUT for those who cant seem to make it to the grocery store and can afford it, this is ideal. My daughters also said a lot of her foods went to waste because the fresh items went bad very FAST and she just didnt have the time to prep and cook after working 12 hr day's, so of youre gonna commit to this, make sure you have time to cook or get meals you can freeze or somehow make them last longer. 👍
Overall my daughters rating of the food is 10/10 and that's enuff for me to try this and ill be ordering my 1st box for me and my husband! 😊 Ill give it a try.
That $95 should be for the 8 serving plan so around $11.90/meal (serving per person).
Love it
Thank you now I am more confident in Ordering from HF
You’re welcome!
Chegg gave me 10 free meals from Hello Fresh, so I am learning about this service.
You still have to pay for a full week's worth of meals but you get 10 free with that too right? If not how do I order just get the 10 free meals to see if I want to subscribe to the service or not?
How much did that box cost?
I actually loved Hello Fresh at first. The meals were delivered on time, were simple and delicious, not to mention priced reasonably and with straight forward recipes. Then, shipments started to roll in 2-3 days late (pre-COVID) aka they were RUINED. I got no explanation though I tried to contact customer service *many* times. After the 4th missed delivery (actually our Thanksgiving Box) which literally DESTROYED my family’s Thanksgiving last year...I CANCELLED after that. I let them know about all of the issues that their service had caused our family, multiple times and received NO RESPONSE whatsoever. Last year’s Thanksgiving ended up being our last Thanksgiving with our mother. I had ordered their Thanksgiving box to prepare for my husband, aunt and parents. We never received it after MANY attempts to find out the status. We ended up eating frozen meals from our freezer. So THANKS Hello Fresh....for the last holiday memories with our Mom. Thank you for answering all of my emails and correspondence about what you did and how you did NOTHING about it. If anyone subscribes to this service, get ready for POOR customer service and BS deliveries. NOTE: They use Fed
Ex and though I filed MULTIPLE complaints, FedEx continued to leave their FOOD DELIVERIES on our VERY SUNNY PORCH with out knocking or ANY notification of delivery. I notified them and FedEx and it continued to happen.
Ironically, that incident has made your last Thanksgiving with your Mom even more memorable. It makes a good story now, and you'll likely never forget it.
Leaving a holiday dinner outcome to chance with a delivery service seems like a bad idea. So many things could go wrong. Did Hello Fresh send it on time and the delivery service had issues? Box has Ice in it, was your food spoiled? It's supposed to be a supplement to your regular cooking so if it's a day or two late it shouldn't be a problem. Sometimes peoples expectations for something new are set so high they cant possibly be met. What? I still have to chop my veggies? I still have to feed myself?
I love hello fresh 😊
I'm a VERY picky eater, so much so my kids put me in check demanding I don't send food back before arriving at a restaurant. These meals are AWESOME!!!! I haven't been disappointed yet! My only adjustment is we cut any packets with sauce in half. We don't use much salt . 😊 it's the same $ as I buy for my homemade meals and just as good with no waste.
I noticed that you used olive oil. Is that included or do you have to buy your own? You seemed to have used your own salt and pepper. Is that not included in with the seasoning packets?
That’s not included
They usually don’t send you common items you’re likely to have like salt, pepper, olive oil. That olive oil is ours.
Gonna get my first box this Saturday so I have enough time to prepare I'm always home from work past 6 and have to go out of bed very early, I barely cook and lose alot of time so I hope I can manage it so I can start having some cooking expierence aswel, a picky eater I don't like the idea of fish but I'm gonna try my best to start eating some fish when it gets in the box.
That meal looks really good
It was!
Girl you remind me of Anna Kendrick! Lol looks, mannerisms, have you ever gotten that before? 😂❤
Thank you! No I haven’t 😂
Glad you liked it. Remember BUTTER is one of the major food groups as if BACON
It's delicious!
Are their ingredients organic/pasture raised??
Thank you
I signed up for 2 different meal kits and got half off deal or more on both. Would I do this every week or 2 no, it'll be crazy expensive and I like to grocery shop so the option to skip weeks is nice until again I come a week with another good deal and equally delicious recipes yes ! Worth it
Check out Dinnerly or EveryPlate. Both are very inexpensive (around $5 per meal).
✓ A fun cooking experience that makes you feel unstoppable
Prices are ok for ready meals
So do you pay monthly for the meals as a subscription or do you pay every week for all the meals you choose each week?
That’s my question!
You pay weekly. It's not worth it. You pay a lot for ingredients you can get for much less and better quality, and then they still charge you $10 for shipping. On top of that, ingredients go missing and meals might arrive late
What is the cost vs buying the ingredients in store and doing it yourself?
Did you get a 4 person or two-person kit? And how many servings for the week? Just trying to get a sense of the scale of all the things you demonstrated. Just curious, I may have missed that part. Great Review!
Hey Brenda! This is their 2 person box with 3 recipes at 2 servings each so 6 meals total. We also added on a pulled chicken sandwich, avocados, and chocolate lava cake from their marketplace :).
Would these be enough protein and calories per serving for any type of fitness goal? I am a bodybuilder and need 2-3k calories a day and at least 30+ grams of protein per meal, my wife also is eating calorie smart to lose weight and get lean.
Could you get just permade meals? I live in a huge household and it gets busy in the kitchen.
Good question! You can't only get pre-made meals with Hello Fresh but you can with other meal delivery services like Freshly, Factor Meals, Snap Kitchen, and others. We have reviews on pre-made meal delivery services here: th-cam.com/play/PLYS9fOVeZ7urkCAojG4b1eHqB2FNtBBEV.html
