You can make your meal choice after you go through the sign up process! This way you know what you'll be cooking and can plan ahead for your other meals! You can now also select our Family Box, which includes family-friendly recipes for four people. Unfortunately, we cannot yet offer choice for our Family and Vegetarian subscription. But we are working on it! You choose the meals you get by logging on to your account page page and clicking on the "Meal Choice" tab and you will see the 5 options for this upcoming week. If you like the 3 highlighted, nothing more needs to be done. If you'd like to switch one meal for another, uncheck the meal, and then select whichever you'd prefer. The changes will save automatically.

We deliver across the continental USA! Check out our delivery areas page here delivery area map.

We deliver Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for all customers, as well as Saturdays, Mondays, Tuesdays and Sundays in specific areas. Deliveries typically arrive between 8am-8pm.

Not to worry! If you are not home during delivery, our courier will drop the box off at your front door (or wherever you specify in your Delivery Instructions).

If you live in an area where a box could not easily be left, we suggest one of the following solutions:

• Provide the address of a helpful neighbor that will be home during the delivery window and can accept your package for you.
• Have the box delivered to your work place.
• Have the box delivered to a nearby business or restaurant that won't mind you picking up the box at a later time that day.

We have specially designed boxes that we pack with a nice, thick liner and ice packs to ensure that everything arrives to you perfectly cold!

It’s free! You subscribe and delivery is on us!

Your groceries will stay fresh for the duration of the week. Our recipes are created using ingredients that stay fresh long enough for you to enjoy them in the week you have received them. If we include ingredients that need to be used sooner rather than later (such as fish) we suggest that you prepare them at the beginning of the week.

HelloFresh works closely on recipe development with a team of in-house chefs who've graduated from the Institute of Culinary Education and other esteemed Culinary Schools. Our in-house dietitian Rebecca reviews each recipe, ensuring you get a balanced meal on the table!

Level 1 recipes are all about simplicity and familiarity. They involve little multi-tasking and may require only 1-2 pots and pans.
Example: Honey-and-Ginger-Glazed Chicken with Snap Peas and Jasmine Rice
Level 2 recipes involve a bit more multi-tasking and concentration. They encourage you to experiment with different ingredients and cooking techniques.
Example: Vietnamese-Marinated Steak with Herb Salad, Quick Pickled Veggies, and Jasmine Rice
Level 3 recipes take it up a notch with the most amount of multitasking and a wide variety of adventurous ingredients and cooking techniques that are still totally doable.
Example: Spring Asparagus and Shrimp Risotto with Meyer Lemon

Cooking with fresh ingredients helps you stay healthy and beats any type of convenience food, frozen food or fast food. By preparing your meals with fresh ingredients you ensure that important nutrients aren't lost. In addition, we curate our recipes to ensure a healthy diet. Since our chefs and nutritionists create and select recipes on a weekly basis, they are able to ensure that your diet is balanced and provides all the nutrients you need for a healthy lifestyle.

Roughly speaking our meals contain anywhere from 500-800 calories each.

All you need to have available at home is salt, pepper, sugar, a good cooking oil, and butter. We'll give you the rest!
