A focused and adaptable meal kit subscription service, Blue Apron provides upscale-casual versions of DIY cuisine with global influences. The service is intended for aspiring chefs, or at the very least those who are seeking relief from the difficulties of food preparation for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Nutritional flexibility is somewhat constrained. With a selection of more than a dozen two-serving meal kits that vary every week, Blue Apron still offers a wide range of possibilities.
Meal services typically aim to fulfill a specific market, a core clientele that will gain the most from what they have to offer. Finding a service that will satisfy your demands depends on understanding what is important to you, whether it is your health, dietary preferences, spending limit, convenience, sustainability, or anything else. It’s simple to sign up for Blue Apron. As auto-delivery is the default, you must first configure your weekly box’s fundamental elementsâthe number of meal kits per week, the number of servings, and your favorite proteinsâand Blue Apron will handle the rest. The minimum and maximum recurring orders are two two-serving meal kits and four four-serving meal kits, respectively, however, there is a great deal of flexibility above and beyond this fundamental arrangement. You shouldn’t worry too much about your early decisions because they can change. Their preferences are always changeable.
You can let your subscription run automatically or take control by choosing the contents of each week’s box yourself. Two-serving, four-serving, Meal Prep Bundles (eight-serving lunch prep kits), Butcher Bundles (12-serving boxes of mixed proteins), and Add-ons like dessert, wine, and appetizers make up Blue Apron’s menu. Strangely, only the meal kits may be ordered regularly; as a result, if you want weekly Butcher Bundles, for instance, you must manually place an order every week. It just depends on how involved you want to be and how difficult this is to execute.
You can only order a maximum of two boxes per week if you choose the hands-on approach. Up to 16 servings (four, four-serving meal kits) and two add-ons can fit in a single package. A family of four could enjoy Blue Apron seven evenings a week with at least four servings left over for lunch if they placed the maximum order. Delivery times are planned by Blue Apron, and there is plenty of room for modifications as needed. You can ship to a different address, add a second box, modify your delivery day, or skip any number of deliveries. You can check the deadline for adjustments to your order by going to your Account Settings.
You can choose your meals using Blue Apron if you don’t want to. To let your weekly package surprise you, just indicate your general preferences. With a well-considered combination of flavors, styles, and ingredients, the menu is well-curated. You might find yourself preparing dishes like pan-seared duck, Thai-style glazed tilapia, gooey pork chorizo enchiladas, and mushroom tempura bowls.
It’s simple to assume control if that’s what you choose. Choose the week you want to change by clicking Change Recipes under the Upcoming menu, then carry on from there. Nevertheless, Blue Apron does not excel at personalization. Less than half of the kits provide adjustments, and those usually just entail switching out a protein or carbohydrate. For instance, you might use cauliflower instead of white rice to accompany your miso ginger chicken instead of chicken in Spanish chicken with zucchini and romesco rice. Breakfast dishes that may be prepared in under 15 minutes are also available from Blue Apron. Breakfast dishes can be found for sourdough French toast with cherry-maple syrup and almonds as well as creamy spinach and egg sandwiches with Parmesan cheese.
The largest category on Blue Apron’s menu is two-serving meal kits, which have 16 options each week. Four-serving kits have half the options, and bundles and add-ons have even fewer options. Couples who are omnivores will therefore likely benefit the most from Blue Apron’s service.
The French “brigade” kitchen hierarchical system gave the apprentice’s traditional costume, Blue Apron, its name. The company does offer a lot of training. Each meal kit includes an easy-to-follow recipe card. Further instructions can be found on the Blue Apron website and mobile app, which also offers tutorial videos for basic skills like handling a chef’s knife and zesting citrus. Even a cookbook is included in the app, which is conveniently arranged by main component, season, or culinary approach.
The weekly box from Blue Apron is around the size of a case of wine. The interior is lined with a silver insulating bubble bag. The bottom has two sizable cold packs that keep the contents chilled. The cold packs in one of the boxes are filled with a drainable gel produced by Enviro Ice. The gel also serves as a source of nitrogen for plants. Plastic bags were used to package the majority of the ingredients. Only very hardy vegetables, including peppers, radishes, onions, and heads of garlic, were delivered outside. Proteins were packaged similarly to how they would be in a conventional supermarket, albeit occasionally with an additional plastic covering. For example, a box of ground beef was placed inside another little plastic bag, ostensibly as further protection against leakage.
Ingredients for sauces, nuts, seeds, spices, and other ingredients were packaged separately and organized by recipe into bags marked “Knick Knacks.” For instance, the Cashew Chicken Korma Knick Knack bag included a little plastic bottle of soy sauce, a pouch of peanut butter, a baggie of cashews, a foil-sealed plastic ramekin of korma sauce, a small packet of honey, a lime, and a tiny plastic bag of rice. Although the outer Knick Knack bag almost feels overkill, having the little components gathered together is useful.
Blue Apron makes a point of emphasizing how recyclable its packaging is. The “How to Recycle” section of the website and app outlines the options for each category of packaging material. This will offer you a relatively clear idea of the waste management scenario, so it is advised to read it before signing up. On the website, the instruction is accessible via the account menu in the top right corner. It may be found under the “More” area of the app’s lower right side.
