Is my smoothie box packaging recyclable?

Yes, our packaging is fully curbside recyclable including our insulated liners!
As for dry ice, just place it in a well-ventilated area at room temperature, and the remainder of the ice will evaporate away. Please do not leave it in a place accessible to children or pets. Never dispose of dry ice in a trash can, chemical waste container, garbage can, sink, or toilet. Always use protective gloves to protect your skin: prolonged contact can cause an injury similar to a burn.

For more information regarding recyclables, you can click here

My Bundle Box contains dry ice. How do I safely handle dry ice?

Dry ice is solidified carbon dioxide and is much colder than regular ice. It can burn skin similar to frostbite. As dry ice melts, it turns into carbon dioxide gas and can be a very serious hazard in a small space that isn't well-ventilated. You should wear thick, insulated gloves when handling it and avoid inhaling carbon dioxide gas.

Keep dry ice out of the reach of children and pets. Never eat or swallow dry ice. For safe disposal, allow leftover dry ice to melt and turn into gas in a well-ventilated area. Dry ice can cause carbon dioxide gas to accumulate and build up pressure, do not dispose of dry ice in a sewer, garbage disposal, garbage chute, etc.

My smoothies arrived in a different box than my other items. Is this normal?
Yes! Your Ready To Blend Smoothies will always arrive in a completely separate box than your other meals and add ons. This box could arrive up to 5 business days after your HelloFresh meals box so be on the look out for tracking info .This is in order for us to ensure they arrive in optimal condition for you to enjoy!
