Factor Meals: “Four Reasons Why I’m Ditching My Food Delivery App”

Four Reasons Why I'm Ditching My Food Delivery App

Let’s face it—some days, an hour in the kitchen just isn’t in the cards. As much as I try to home-chef it up, there are evenings when I just don’t have the time, or the ingredients, or the willpower. Every so often, I’ve been using food delivery apps to make an easy meal happen. But all the eating out adds up (even if I’m eating it at home). Plus, if we’re being honest, a lot of the places I can order from on the apps aren't exactly the healthiest. I’ve been trying to cut down on the delivery dinner, but the convenience was pretty tough to beat… until I tried HelloFresh. It’s a meal kit delivered to your door, and it’s my new go-to on those days where I just want something easy. Here’s how HelloFresh has transformed my breakfasts, lunches, and dinners:

Meals ready in minutes: no hour-long wait

A lot of the time, the biggest obstacle between me and a good meal is just that: time. HelloFresh made me realize just how much time I was spending on dinner, whether I cooked or not: it was either an hour in the kitchen putting something together, or an hour waiting for my food to come (if I got delivery). Either way, that’s sixty minutes I’m never getting back! But HelloFresh has given me back my time: easy prep, straightforward instructions, and efficient methods make it so their meals are ready in a fraction of the time. Never before have I been able to have the kind of feel-good dinners I love, but without all the hassle.

Healthy food without the calorie tracker

For me, it can be tough to eat healthy when I order delivery; it tastes good, but who knows what nutrients my takeout contains? Luckily, HelloFresh has it under control: Each of HelloFresh’s offerings (30+ to choose from each week) is designed by professional chefs and meticulously analyzed for nutritional content. This makes it a breeze to pick breakfasts, lunches, and dinners that align with your lifestyle. Whether you're aiming to stay in shape with Fit & Wholesome meals or feed the troops with Quick & Easy options, HelloFresh has you covered. Personally, I find the Pescatarian section perfect for those times when I want a complete meal without the icky feeling of takeout. With HelloFresh meals, achieving my nutrient goals is practically automatic, regardless of the day's demands.

Affordable, cost-conscious eats with all the ease of a cheat meal

Delicious, high-quality meals delivered directly to your doorstep should cost a lot; but with HelloFresh, they don't. Customizing your meal plan to meet your specific needs is incredibly straightforward: flexible pricing and easy plan adjustments make it simple to adjust your HelloFresh order according to household, meals-per-week, and serving size. Starting at just $8.99 per serving (plus shipping), HelloFresh meals are so much more cost-effective than the usual delivery options. I've been pleasantly surprised by the money I've saved using HelloFresh, and with the available deals (which I’ve been able to take advantage of), the cost can be even more budget-friendly. Currently, if you’re a new customer with an active subscription, you’ll receive one free Breakfast item in every box… forever. All in all, the price to incorporate HelloFresh into my weekly meal plan hasn’t been prohibitive; it’s actually saved me money.

Tailor your meals to your lifestyle, not your lifestyle to your meals

Now, having used HelloFresh for a little while, it’s become my new routine—and I can’t imagine going back to my old one. Before, I would have to make sacrifices in my daily agenda in order to find time to cook meals that fit my health goals; now, with the time I save by choosing quick-to-prepare HelloFresh meals, it’s so much easier to take care of my other responsibilities. After all, if there’s a way for me to save both time and money while maintaining the same level of satisfaction from my food, why wouldn’t I do it? With HelloFresh, it’s never been easier to incorporate healthy breakfast, lunches, and dinners (that taste great) into my life, and I’m so glad I did.
