Me and my boyfriend have been getting these every week for over a year and all I can say is wow! Amazing meals. They are consistantly good, even the ones I thought I wouldn't like I always enjoy! They premium meals are worth the money. Who ever comes up with this stuff is a genius. Even if they forget an ingredient (which is rare) they always make up for it with credits for our next order. Great service! Keep it up!
I have used Blue Apron for about 5 years or so. Quality is great. I have had maybe 5 times in five years where I had an issue that they fixed to my satisfaction. We also have sent free boxes to our friends where they actually end up subscribing. I wont say they are perfect, and never had issues but definitely out of the meal delivery services I have tried they are the most consistent.
I tried out Blue Apron, Hellofresh and Everyplate.
Blue Apron had huge problems with the delivery, I have the feeling they are not able to handle the massive customer increase. Items missing, no customer support etc. Would not recommend this
Hellofresh was fine, everything arrived as scheduled and it tastes delicious. Really enjoyed it.
Everyplate is good for people with smaller budget, but is not as fancy as Hellofresh. But still, it is a good service.
Skimped on portions and sometimes were missing items. The recipes were decent, sometimes more involved than I wanted to get.
Blue Apron was the first home delivery service I used and I found it pretty convenient and make our daily cooking more exciting. They have creative recipes and it was fun to learn new things. I took one star off as I wish they had fresh raw veggie options sometimes, like side salad. Also they used to deliver earlier on the day but it started delaying to late evening, around 7-8pm. It’s caused of the carriers and maybe depending on the area you live but I found it inconvenient. I ended up switching to the other home delivery service but Blue Apron was a good option too.
I'm a huge fan of Blue Apron. I have been using this service off and on for several years and have been consistently delighted with the quality, flavor, variety, and ease of making the meals they send.
I had gotten in the habit of taking my small family and eating out a lot, because I felt too busy to meal plan, or when I did, something came up and one of the things I'd purchased went to waste. It also seemed like I never had exactly the right consumable items (things like yogurt, ricotta, or lemon juice), or I had to buy produce in quantities that didn't work (like whole heads of cabbage when I only needed one quarter).
I did occasionally end up not making a Blue Apron meal because something came up, but a friend had suggested as a best practice to think ahead and throw the meat in the freezer (and even the "knick-knacks" depending on what was included) so nothing went to waste. Later, I could still make it after buying just a few dollars worth of produce.
Sometimes I choose not to get deliveries so I can buy ingredients myself and make meals that they've sent before, since I have the recipe cards and they even helpfully explain what is in things like seasoning mix or dressings they send.
I recommend Blue Apron for anyone who's interested in becoming a better cook, trying new menu items, feels like they don't have time to menu plan or shop, or wants ideas for how to change up what they already eat. It's also great for helping to get kids involved in cooking, in my experience. My daughter was a selective eater but from our first Blue Apron meal that we made together, she has been excited about their foods and open to trying almost everything they send.
My boyfriend and I have gone back and forth between Blue Apron and another home delivery service and they both seem to have the same problems. Missing ingredients and the quality of the produce or other product. We have had frozen produce, moldy rolls, open containers and mushy product a day of getting the box. The customer service is top notch and as always quick with a response, but the inconvenience becomes an annoyance, which almost cancels the customer service out. Oh and I am getting really tired of Kale and freaking green beans.
Don't ever sign-up for this service......They will do anything they can to prevent you from quickly and easily cancelling. If you doubt this check your account online and you will see the only way to cancel is emailing customer service. If you try this path they suddenly don't know who you are (although they seem to know exactly where to send the charges). Multiple emails and two months of credit card charges later I am still trying to cancel, and still getting charged.
I love Blue Apron...just wish they had more low calorie meals!
We have tried several food services, and Blue Apron has been the worst. They are disorganized and their food is mediocre in comparison to others like HelloFresh.
I am an adventurous eater, but more often than not, I would give up on the food and let my husband eat the rest. We were always left hungry one way or another. We were in the process of moving, so I "skipped" many weeks. I was charged during these skipped weeks, and I was familar with doing this process since I still use my HelloFresh account.
After deactivating my account and recieving the confirmation, they still sent me a box with items I would never eat and that I have no access to...and you bet they charged me!
Wish I never signed up. Save your money and spend it on something yummy that will fill you up!
Convenient but few selections. We ate a lot of Kale! Repetitive meal choices. Some of the meals were outstanding and you can order beef dishes without an upcharge unlike competitors. This one includes a steak dinner without an upcharge. Not enough food for 4 people.
I LOVE the convenience of the service. It is nice to have fresh meals that don't require any planning on my part. The meals feel a bit repetitive over time, and I find that many of the ingredients go bad before I get to use them (green beans and cherry tomatoes are frequently problematic), forcing me to improvise a bit. I wonder if getting delivery on a different day of the week would help make sure the food stays fresh.
I enjoy my Blue Apron experience. I wish you offered more specific options like low carb.
Great!
Before Blue Apron, I barely ever cooked! I didn't enjoy having to search for recipes and then go to the store to try and find all of the ingredients only to get frustrated with not knowing what I am even doing! Blue Apron allows me to take each step and really see the meal come together. Every dish I have made has been delicious. My fiance and I have created a binder for the recipes with two tabs: Make Again and Eh. There are a handful of recipes that even though they were delicious, we personally wouldn't think to remake them only because the other meals totally stood out above them! The only downfall on my side is that my fiance doesn't help with the prepping or cooking and I definitely take my time to prep, chop, peel and get everything flowing which means a 25-35 minute meal, takes me about an hour! I have sent a few boxes out to family and friends to partake in Blue Apron and they love it as well! Keep up the good work! I look forward to all my future boxes!!!
I lovvvvveeee blue apron! Best food service out there in my opinion. They always have a great selection of meals for week without feeling like they repeat. They offer more of a variety than other food box’s. Definitely get excited every Saturday for my box to arrive ❤️❤️
I love the recipes, the food is always fresh, and I love that it’s all planned out for me and comes to my house.
Blue apron has taken the guess work of the most dreaded question .... so what’s for dinner? My husband and I work opposite schedules and that’s meals are easy enough for me to make on my own. However we really enjoy making meals together. We have more time for each other. Not to mention the food is delicious!!
I have no complaints. Serving size is filling. Easy directions to follow and the food is great tasting. My husband and I have enjoyed the variety of taste and find it fun to have something new and different to eat.
Other than a few delivery hiccups, blue apron is an awesome service. The meals are unique and delicious! Definitely great for people looking to try new things in terms of eating and cooking! The ingredients are always fresh with excellent quality meats. The instructions are thorough and easy to follow. The service itself is very very affordable as well! Although, I do wish that portions were just a bit larger. It’s also a great bonding experience for those using the service. My husband and I make sure we make the time to cook and eat together as our schedules are very hectic between working and taking care of our son. I look forward to each meal that comes!
Fresh food, yummy recipes with calorie counts. A big time saver too and delightful.
