(In our experience, ingredients stay recipe-ready for at least a week after they’re unpacked.) And because everything is pre-portioned, you’ll only get as much of an ingredient as you need to make the recipes you picked that week.īlue Apron does expect you to have a few staples on hand-usually salt, pepper, olive oil, and water-as these common ingredients get used recipe after recipe. Just pop everything in your fridge within a few hours of your box being delivered. (The Blue Apron app makes this process easier.) You can also switch up your plan (the number or pre-set type of meals you signed up for) from inside your account.Ī Blue Apron meal kit comes chilled and insulated, so that the meats and produce inside stay fresh in transit. You can schedule deliveries in a way that’s convenient for you, and you can skip deliveries if you’re busy or out of town. We appreciate how flexible Blue Apron’s meal delivery service is-you can set preferences for what you get or handpick your recipes week to week. Unlike the other meal kit delivery boxes, we find that Blue Apron recipes have a slightly more “foodie” feel, with globally inspired touches and clever combinations. Like other meal kits, Blue Apron’s meal delivery service sends members the pre-portioned ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions they need to cook up to four restaurant-quality recipes each week. Blue Apron (starting at $47.95 per month) is one of the best meal kit subscription boxes, according to our readers.
