HelloFresh: healthy food and recipes delivered at your door

As a clean eater, I am always experimenting with healthy recipes. But even I, as a kitchen princess, sometimes need some new inspiration. This is when I decided to give HelloFresh a try. 

HelloFresh brings a twist to home cooked meals. They do it all. From creating the recipes, to planning the meals, to grocery shopping, and even delivering all of the ingredients right to your door! The only thing you have to do is follow the recipe and cook.

Each week the team creates recipes that feature seasonal ingredients to create a sophisticated mix of both exotic and comforting dishes. You can order your box online and choose between the original box or a vegetarian box. The box full of fresh ingredients and exciting recipes will be delivered right at your door.

The first box

As soon as the delivery guy rang the doorbell, I got super excited. There it was, a box filled with fresh veggies, proteins, spices and a recipe book for 3 meals. The first recipe I made from the box was a potato salad with smoked forel, radish and yoghurt dressing. To be honest, I'm not the salad-kind of girl so a salad with these ingredients (and that for dinner...) was something really new for me. I just followed the recipe, went with it and it turned out really well. A super delicious salad that I will definitely make again soon.

The second meal was something I make more often : chicken with sweet potato out of the oven, only this time I served it with naan-bread and some fresh yoghurt. Something simple with a little twist.

The thing I like about HelloFresh is that they're introducing healthy eating in a fun way. Even in the original box one of the three dishes was a vegetarian dish. Most people think that eating a vegetarian meal is boring, but this is not true. We should all become more aware of what we are fuelling our bodies with and try to eat more unprocessed foods.

The third meal that I tried was at my friends house. I just grabbed my bag and filled it with all the ingredients that were left and biked over to her place. The dish was orzo with green beens, fennel, oregano and grana padano. And to be honest... these two caribbean girls never cooked with fennel before, so we were really curious about the flavours and started cooking right away. This vegetarian dish turned out super delicious and we both were really surprised. It was so good that I even had it for dinner last night.

The second box 

My first experience with HelloFresh was so good that I immediately wanted to try another box. On their website you can find lots of HelloFresh healthy recipes and see what will be in the boxes next week. You can easily pause your account and order whenever you want.

The first dish from the second box was simple (salmon with oven grilled veggies) but yet again with a twist. The potatoes were covered in a almond-dukkah rub that gave them a crunchy texture (crunchy potatoes are the best!).

The second dish consisted of Thai- burgers, salad and noodles, so a complete Thai inspired meal. Different and easy to make. The third and final dish is a vegetable soup, made with vegetables that I never cooked before so that's going to be fun again!

My experience with HelloFresh

I really enjoyed the two boxes and had a good experience with HelloFresh. I'm always willing to try out something new and this is exactly what HelloFresh gave me. I can recommend it to everyone. Its great for students, healthy foodies and even experienced cooks like me. Just give it a try and bring a little fun and variety into your kitchen!

Let me know if you want to give it a try and feel free to ask me anything.
