Over the past few months Hello Fresh started popping up in the feeds and posts of\u00a0many of my favorite bloggers and Instagram mama’s\u00a0who were all raving about the simplicity of the meals that were not only quick but also healthy! \u00a0So obviously I was intrigued….I mean…quick, healthy, and delivered to your door….sign me up!! So when HelloFresh<\/a><\/strong><\/span> reached out to partner I jumped at the chance! \u00a0Let’s be real what busy mama couldn’t use someone else to do the meal planning, shopping, and delivery right to their door….and did I mention that start to finish\u00a0the meals take 30 minutes!! \u00a0I mean, what dreams are made of, am I right?!!<\/p>\n

Outside of the convenience, one of the things I have loved most is that it has pushed us to try new recipes\u00a0for meals that we might not of made on our own. \u00a0I also love that everything is farm fresh\u00a0ingredients\u00a0and that the\u00a0meals are well balanced, filling, and while they feed 4 we have had plenty of leftovers for at least 1 to 2 lunches making it a really great value as well.<\/p>\n

Last week Hello Fresh sent us three meals to try from their Classic Meal Plan, which we selected since our kids are pretty adventurous eaters, however they do offer a Family Meal Plan that has more family friendly ingredients, and also a Veggie Plan. \u00a0We had the Siracha Turkey Burgers, the Soy Marinated Steak, and the Spanish Style Cod with Chickpeas.<\/p>\n

I let these two decide which meal we made each night. \u00a0I have found with my kids the more you let them be involved with the decision making and cooking process them more excited they are about the food.<\/p>\n

Everything comes super organized with recipe cards and step by step instructions making it super easy to follow and get the kids involved since there are only 6 steps to each recipe.<\/p>\n

Also, anything that allows these three to take over the kitchen….how could I not love it!<\/p>\n

The Siracha Turkey Burgers made for the perfect outdoor dinner. \u00a0For the kids I just swapped out the Siracha Mayo for ketchup and cut back slightly on the amount we mixed into the actual burger and they loved it!\"Charlie_Rowan_designs_Hello_Fresh\"<\/p>\n

This kid will literally try anything once…including lemons, handfuls of garlic (true story), and pretty much anything he can get his hands on!\"Charlie_Rowan_designs_Hello_Fresh\" \"Charlie_Rowan_designs_Hello_Fresh\" \"Charlie_Rowan_designs_Hello_Fresh\"<\/p>\n

Ian and I also really liked the\u00a0Spanish Style Cod with Chickpeas, and while we eat a lot of fish we don’t typically make Cod so this was a great change. \u00a0The kids loved the fish, both asked for seconds but were a little weary of the chickpeas….but I’ll still call that a win!\"Charlie_Rowan_designs_Hello_Fresh\"<\/p>\n

All in all,\u00a0we loved the entire experience and I would absolutely recommend it to any family who is looking for a healthy, well balanced meal plan that also introduces your kids to a variety of flavors and foods. \u00a0I wholeheartedly believe in investing in the food we eat and if you don’t have the time to plan, prep, and make well-balanced whole foods for your family this offers a great solution that is really affordable when you compare it to buying whole foods and organic and non-hormone produce and meats.<\/p>\n
