Yes. The answer is yes.
Let’s get something out of the way before we start; as much as I’d love to be one of those bloggers who get sent free things to review and come home to find packages waiting for them, filled with make up and clothes; I am unfortunately not. My goal in life is for people to feed, clothe and entertain me for free and I’m working towards #keepingthedreamalive
So for the record, I was not paid/asked/bribed/blackmailed to write this review, I am just super passionate about food and the many things you can do with it: buy it, cook it, eat it etc; now that’s out of the way, let’s get to the fun stuff!
The fiancé and I struggle massively when it comes to food wastage, especially when a recipe calls for a teaspoon of parsley and the store is only selling a hectares worth. We are forever throwing out food whilst wondering why we didn’t factor spring onions into every dish we made that week.
During a catch up with friends over breakfast (breakfast>dinner) they shared their experience with Hello Fresh. To be honest, I’ve always been pretty sceptical of this type of thing, I really don’t want to eat veggies that have been frozen for months or packaged three weeks ago.
They assured me that the ingredients are always fresh (it’s not just a gimmick in their name!) and you only get sent the quantity you need per meal so goodbye wastage, hello… umm fresh!
A great little perk, if you refer a friend with your discount code, not only do they get $50 off, so do you! So I signed up that afternoon and away we went (keep reading for your exclusive discount code)
Essentially you make an account, add in your details and voilà, your box of deliciousness will be delivered right to your door during your chosen time window.
So what exactly comes in your treasure chest?
- Your ingredients which are all fresh and smell delish.
- Everything included in the box is made of biodegradable and recyclable materials. We noticed the food wasn’t wrapped in plastic as supermarkets do #banthebag!
I think it’s important to translate the professionally shot images into I’ve-been-at-work-for-nine-hours-and-am-starving representations. The left is the recipe card image and the right is mine; you know, in case you couldn’t tell the difference (I always forget to take pictures of my food as I’m more excited to start eating than adjust the lighting so excuse the poor quality.)
