- There are a million meal kit services to choose from. We whittled it down to three: Blue Apron, EveryPlate and Sunbasket. Lexy Savvides tried each for a week and compared things like taste, portion size, ease of cooking and even how much single-use plastic comes in a box.

7:57 👈Not weird, I applaud you for this important info. 🗑♻️
More awareness & accountability of excessive wasteful packaging is appreciated. 🌎👍
I agree I'm curious if any of the meal prepping services hold accountability for all their waste production from all the packaging especially the plastic. Every company needs to be accountable in all their services, it would be great to find out if any have a partnership with Terracycle or HowToRecycle to effectively manage and spread awareness💚🌎♻️
I LOVE that you saved the plastic to show us! 👏🏻❤
100% agreed. Every week I order 10 meals. 5 lunch meals from everyplate and I rotate 5 dinner from either hellofresh or home chef. I used to ordered blue apron but the amount of plastic was such a turn off. I canceled after two weeks. But overall, you're spot on. I love everyplate because their food are tasty and well priced.
hi, do you still use everyplate as your primary meal kit?? ive never purchased any before and very curious
I don’t comment often , this video was very very very detailed thank you so much . You just helped me choose a meal kit !
Love that you showed the waste. Thanks
Great comparison of meal kits. I really appreciate your focus on the packaging. That is a concern of mine.
Love blue apron , I'll never go back to every plate.
Why?
My #1 reason for trying Hello Fresh / Every Plate was to engage my 6/7 year old with cooking.
It takes the fuss out of planning, most of the measuiring, etc and we can get down to basics like knife skills, using tools, safety, and most importantly, spending time together.
I'll check out Every PLate and see if there's a price difference from Hello Fresh, but I'm guessing they're the same.
I do find that ordering 4 meals 1 week, and then skipping the next saves me about $2.50/serving. I just have to freeze those meats immediately, and plan on eating them the following week.
We've tried all three and prefer Blue Apron. Mainly because it is interesting food and we learned more about cooking good food. We save the recipe cards for future doing it on our own. If we had kids to feed then we might like EveryPlate but it was too simple...all stuff I could make in my sleep and a lot less expensive buying local. Sunbasket is just too exotic for us even and the instructions are very difficult for us old folks with tired eyes.
I just started getting 3 hello fresh dinners each week and most we liked, a couple we would not eat again. The biggest draw is that my teens want to do the cooking and it gets us to sit down and eat together. Something we used to do pre pandemic. Plus I don’t have to meal plan and shop. I will try other kits in the future.
Problem I had with Everyplate is that too much of the meal is potatoes, rice, or pasta. You can see how they can sell it for less than the others. But the sauces make the items quite tasty, and you can get seafood or steak meals at extra cost.
LOL, I just saw a Blue Apron Ad before this.... 😂
Thank you for the video!!
Other YTers who made a vid on same topic came down to Every Plate as their pick as well. Seems a winner!
In India there is no such concept at all! But the pictures you show are really good, making me hungry again😂
Yea I try every plate the first week was fine the second week we started missing some ingredients and almost all the protein receipt were pork and potatoes and we don’t eat pork
Wonderful video! Thank you.
Did any say if they were non-gmo or not?
I extremely like the video, man. Very helpful and informative. Thank you very much. It is presented so well too. Great, positive work.
5:14 kudos for using chopsticks! Thanks for great vid review.
You have to look at not just the portion size, and that some give you only 125g or less in meat and fish. and that many bulk out the meal with cheap items like potatoes, rice or pasta. when you are spending may be up to $5 or £6 for each meal.
You need to look at how much cooking does it take, putting on an expensive oven for a small amount of something makes the meal even more expensive to do.
You also have to look at each meal and what it has in it there may be items you do not like and you are paying for that.
But the Main thing is the total cost of just not being Lazy and going to the supermarket and buying the items yourself cheaper.
All you need to do is follow any recipe in any book or offline .
this is only 1 meal a day I bet you are still going to that supermarket for the rest of the meals you have so you are saving no time.
and if you buy proper amounts of items you will be using over time there will also be less waste in packaging.
whats the katsu sauce recipe?
man, still debating between everyplate and blue apron. she really should have listed the prices for each of them. that would have been extremely helpful.
So delicious.
Nice dish
I love meal kits but I tried Sunbasket once and both meals were equally disgusting. Would not try again. Also, if you want a really good cheaper meal kit I'd go with dinnerly. They have a much bigger variety then Every Plate and better recipes in my opinion for about the same price
Wow
Yo Lexi did you mean to say "capsicum"? lol
Just make sure you recycle plastic resins 1 and 2.
as you waste plastic bags by putting plastic bags in plastic bags lol
CNET
In the past: Tech !
Nowadays: Meal Kits !
Just an opinion here, but I didn't like Sunbasket. Broccolini is not better than broccoli, arugula is not better than lettuce, kale is not better than spinach, black beans are not better than pinto beans, and so forth. Some folks may have diet preferences though. Their seafood is very good, of course expensive for the portions.
Why are people so obsessed with organic? organic means it will discompose. So whats the deal?
@Artist 11and?
I use all of these and the truth is they are all the same. Just subscribe to the one with the best deal each week. They will all offer you giant discounts time and time again.
They are truly a rip off when you do the full analysis.
Least amount of plastic,
Most amount of paper, bye bye planet
I guess this is a good solution for anyone who is too lazy to go to grocery stores or spend 5 minutes looking up recipes on TH-cam.
It’s actually good because you don’t end up with wasted ingredients. And, TH-cam recipes often fail. You have to know in advance which TH-camrs are the good ones. Also, the video is a condensed version of the cooking method, and you have to go to a website to get the actual recipe. It isn’t a five minute process. If you do it right, grocery shopping, menu planning and cooking are complex tasks. And, it can be expensive, too.
These meal kits are cheap and you get a variety of meals sent to you. People would rather spend cash than wasting time running around a grocery store looking for ingredients and also saving time what to fix each day
Always one in the crowd 😑
Lazy? Or u have too much time on ur hands
omg so much plastic
I’m All for “organic” food. And yet you still wear leather shoes and drive coal powered cars.
Have you really thought all of this through?
How about the plates? Appliances? Shades? Soap dispensers? Counter tops? Etc.
Just asking.
It’s ok your still better than “normal” people.
Organic is more for your own health, not the environment.
They all cost way too much! The best meal kit is going to the store and cooking.
Then it isn't for you now is it. This is for people who want to pay for the convenience of not planning a recipe or going to the store
I'm good thanks I would rather save money and go to the grocery store.
Even at the cheapest $50 a week for 4 meals, that's $200 a month for 16 meals with no leftovers. What a scam.
Well it's not a scam if they lay it all out for you.
Iam firdt
First
So the service is basically for lazy people
It’s for people who have a job and are actually busy with their lives 🙃
I thought it is a tech channel or something... unsubscribe!
