Blue Apron Review

Blue Apron Review - 

Blue Apron is an American ingredient-and-recipe meal kit service that exclusively operates in the United States. The weekly boxes contain ingredients and also include suggested recipes that must be cooked by hand by the customer using the ordered ingredients. 

  Cost -  $9.99 per serving  The best way to compare meal kit prices by meal and serving. Blue Apron costs $9.99 per serving and $7.99 in shipping if you opt for two recipes that feed two people a week.   

Value- $211 million  It’s worth far less. Indeed, blue apron is worth just $211 million today including its day’s gains, according to google finance. Blue Apron was worth about $1.9 billion when it went public, for reference.  Blue Apron says its meals typically range from 500-700 calories per serving. My meals were 555 calories per serving for “Chile-Blackened Cod” and 690 calories per serving for “Pan-seared Chicken Verjus”.   

Is Blue Apron Healthy?  Blue Apron is the O.G. healthy meal delivery service, and it continues to be one of the best for a reason- the recipe curators are good at what they do. Every ingredient is measured, portioned, and packaged, and the step-by-step instructions are easy to follow.   

How does Blue Apron work? Blue Apron is a service that sends you all of the ingredients and instructions to cook a meal (that their chef plans for you) at home. You choose from their meals for the week, and you get the ingredients(ALL of the ingredients) needed for that meal delivered in a box on your doorstep.   

Is Blue Apron is really cheaper than grocery shopping?   Blue Apron claims the grocery store is “70 percent more expensive” than its service. They send out a box with three totally different meals, and to make a fair comparison the experimental grocery shopper buys the exact same ingredients for the exact same menu.   

What Comes in Each Delivery?  Basically, The Blue Apron meals deliver contain all the seasonal produce and special ingredients you need to create unique, flavourful meals for the week. In each box, we’ll send detailed recipe cards with step-by-step instructions to make dinner easy and delicious. Just bring salt, pepper, olive oil, and an appetite.   

What are The Blue Apron Meals? Blue Apron is a nationwide delivery service that sends you a box of preportioned meal ingredients, with recipes.  Services like Freshly, daily harvest, and Sakara Life offer pre-made meals that can be delivered. They’re perfect for those who don’t want to think about what’s for dinner, are short on time, and want to eat something healthier than what’s available in their seamless delivery zone.   

What are the plans of Blue Apron?    Blue Apron lets you choose from the above plans, choose which day of the week your box will arrive, and choose your recipes for each week. For the family plan (for which you choose to receive either two or four meals), you have only four meals to choose from. This is a subscription service, meaning a box is set to come every week. However, you can skip a week or cancel at any time.   

Positive Impact -   

1- All the food is pretty good. 

2- The recipes were detailed and easy to follow.   

Negative Impact - 

1- All of the ingredients were thrown in the box together, not separated by meal like they were with every other service. 

2- Only calories information was listed on the recipe card, while other services list full nutrition facts.   

Overall, Blue Apron’s food is the best delivery service startup. Every menu contains one chicken dish, one seafood dish, one salad dish, one soup|stew|chili dish, and another that is either pork or beef.
