I’m 2 boxes into @blueapron x @ww and I wanted to write up my thoughts so far. Keep in mind I did previously subscribe to @blueapron for 6 months in 2016 so I knew the gist of things.
So much kale and radishes! Half the meals have included these two ingredients, perhaps they are seasonal. They aren’t in my top 50 vegetables, but I have thoroughly enjoyed them in each meal. Marinating the kale with 1 tsp of olive oil and lemon juice has really made a big difference. I’m also surprised how much salad is produced from just a handful of kale leaves.
I’m not sure if it’s new to @blueapron in general or not, but the chicken they sent has been precut! I hate touching raw meat, especially chicken, so just drying the chicken with a paper towel and throwing it in the pan has been amazing!
After the first two half price boxes back to back I’m easing into every other week and see how it goes. I like the idea of having @ww friendly meals in the fridge to make in a pinch (AKA 30-50 minutes which is a downside). Since we have a good larger scale meal prep routine going I think we’re just going to use the box to augment what we eat when we have the time to make a nice single meal.
I should also note we aren’t fish/seafood people so we stick to the chicken/pork/beef/veg options. I’ve seen recipes for between 3-14 points so far. I’ve loaded my boxes generally with 2 lower point meal and 1 higher point meal because I rather eat the food I would like for higher points than pick something I wouldn’t really enjoy for less points.
If you are interested in trying @blueapron they always send subscribers vouchers for free boxes to send to friends so let me know!
