How are Blue Apron and Hello Fresh Changing the Way We Cook?

How can you cook a home-cooked meal without going to the grocery store?

For a long time, this was impossible.

But now there is a solution…

Blue Apron and Hello Fresh.

These companies recently developed a way for average people to order pre-packaged, pre-measured, ready to cook meals online and have them delivered to their front door. For a family with two working parents, these companies offer a healthy alternative to take-out and provide an easy way for anyone to cook a meal, even on weeknights.

Hello Fresh and Blue Apron were founded in 2011 and 2012, respectively, and aim to make cooking “easy as eating” and help people maintain a healthy lifestyle. Since then, these companies have become very popular, especially with working families, Millenials and young adults.

Here’s how it works…

Both Blue Apron and Hello Fresh have an online platform that allows people to browse the vast variety of meal options and choose which recipes they like best. This can range from Chipotle Black Bean Quesadillas to a Japanese Inspired Chicken Bowl. The recipes also allow you to filter results based on cooking time and the number of people you would like to cook for. Then, you can order as many meals as you would like and when you would like them delivered to your door. Overall, this is a simple process that can result in a quick, easy and tasty home-cooked meal.

This has many advantages for anyone with very little time to cook…

 

Increasingly, home-cooked meals are becoming less prominent in homes around the country. Many people do not always have the time to cook a meal every night. These companies are having a positive effect on nutrition and health.

If you have not tried Blue Apron or Hello Fresh before, I highly encourage giving them a shot.
