I Tried HelloFresh And It Spiced Up My Mealtimes! (+ Glossy Discount To Try Yourself!)

hellofresh-glossybox-review

In a time when weā€™re all juggling multiple plates at the same time,Ā anything we can do to simplify everyday tasks is a huge help.Ā Weā€™veĀ manageĀ our money onlineĀ to not have to visit the bank,Ā buy clothes fromĀ the web toĀ avoidĀ visitingĀ busy shopping centresĀ so why wouldnā€™t we makeĀ foodĀ shopping and meal prepĀ a breeze too?Ā So, in a bid toĀ make mealtimes less hassle and a lot tastier, I decided to turn toĀ HelloFresh.

No one really wants to head to the supermarket right now unless they desperately have to – thatā€™s a given.Ā But when I do, if I donā€™t go with a plan, I end up buying loads of ingredientsĀ for all the meals I want to cook, then end up seeing most of it go to waste.Ā One of the biggest appeals of HelloFresh, to me, is that waste is non-existent.Ā AllĀ ingredients comeĀ pre-portioned. Not only does this meanĀ less time weighingĀ out ingredientsĀ to prep, it also means thatĀ every little bit gets used.Ā 

Another huge appeal to me was the chance toĀ try making, and tasting, meals that I likely wouldnā€™t normally get to.Ā 1. Because I wouldnā€™tĀ even think to put these specific foods or ingredients together to make a meal, but also 2. even if I did, I wouldnā€™t know how to do it successfully!Ā 

Plus, seeingĀ neighbours gettingĀ HelloFreshĀ deliveries throughout lockdownĀ made me want to get involved with all the foodie fun too!Ā Because food is prettyĀ much the mainĀ thingĀ we can get excited about right now!

What Did I OrderĀ FromĀ HelloFresh?Ā 

Wanting to try optionsĀ I wouldnā€™t normally go for, IĀ ordered threeĀ HelloFresh mealsĀ –Ā two veggie options (aĀ Korean-style rice bowl with tofuĀ and aĀ goat’sĀ cheese risotto)Ā that I’d never had before, as well as a meaty dishĀ (chipotle chicken tacos) that I knew Iā€™d love.Ā 

Despite their differences,Ā all three were incredibly easy to make!Ā TheĀ printed-out instructions includedĀ how long each dish would takeĀ from start to finishĀ andĀ all the equipment I’d needĀ (as well as how many of my five a day it would include!)Ā andĀ perfectly explained each step of the methodĀ withĀ handy picturesĀ too.Ā 

So,Ā How Does HelloFresh Work?Ā 

Getting started with HelloFresh couldnā€™t be any simpler if it tried. All you have to do is…Ā 

  1. PickĀ yourĀ planĀ –Ā Cooking for one or the whole family? Got all the time in the world to make your meal or need options that are super quick? Whatever your lifestyle, thereā€™s aĀ HelloFreshĀ planĀ to match.Ā 
  2. Get your deliveryĀ – Each week, youā€™llĀ receive your order ofĀ simple step-by-step recipes, eachĀ complete with nutritional information and fresh, pre-portionedĀ ingredients!Ā 
  3. Cook, eat, enjoy!Ā –Ā NoĀ more ā€˜what should we have for dinner tonight?ā€™ discussions.Ā Instead, inĀ a world where dinner is always planned, simple and delicious,Ā things are seriously straightforward!

What KindĀ OfĀ Meals AreĀ OnĀ TheĀ HelloFresh Menu?Ā 

HelloFresh offers a whole host of meals, that change every week.Ā There areĀ vegetarian meals, quick and easy recipes, low calorieĀ andĀ protein packed options,Ā as well asĀ world flavours and street food inspired dishesĀ thatĀ will enrich your taste buds.Ā 

This means that really, youā€™re going to beĀ spoilt for choice. And that every member of your family will be able to find something they love.Ā You can easily seeĀ whatā€™s on the menuĀ for the next four weeks too, so planning in advance is incredibly simple!Ā 

How Much DoesĀ HelloFreshĀ Cost?Ā 

How much your HelloFresh delivery costs allĀ depends onĀ how many people youā€™re cooking for, and how many meals you would like delivered each week. The more you order, the more you save. But you can get startedĀ fromĀ as little as Ā£3.25Ā per servingĀ ā€“ which in my opinion is a steal!Ā 

Obviously,Ā because being aĀ GlossyĀ means weā€™re always bringing you the best offersĀ on brands we know youā€™ll love, weā€™ve of course gotĀ a Glossy discount especially for you!

I'm someone who loves getting glammed up, but I feel like I never have enough time. Frequently running between work, the gym and seeing friends means my makeup routine is quick and often touched up on the go. Therefore, beauty products that serve as multi-purpose are perfect for me - a blush that works for cheeks and lips is a must in my makeup bag!
