Cure The End Of Season Sadness With HelloFresh
After the madness that is the end of the year, I find myself needing to get back into a routine ASAP.
Between holiday parties, work projects, and seeing family and friends, I don’t get to catch my breath until early January – and when I do, I realise just how much I’ve been flying by the seat of my pants.
My meals during the holidays consisted of leftover party food from the weekend prior; more dips than I ever thought existed, an assortment of nuts, and pudding. So much pudding.
After going around talking about New Year’s resolutions at the final holiday party of the season, I heard someone say they were going to get their meals back on track. Good luck, I thought – as if I haven’t heard that every season. But then, they said they were going to use HelloFresh to keep them in line.
I’d heard of HelloFresh before but never really gave it a second thought. When I got home and opened my fridge to find nothing but week-old cranberry sauce, I decided to give it a go.
HelloFresh: UK’s Leading Recipe BoxFresh, Quality Ingredients Meals Start At Just £3.25 Each Try HelloFresh Today!
I jumped on their website and decided I’d do 3 meals per week for two people. Prices are as low as £3.25/pp! Clearly, I’m not on any restrictive diet, so I chose their Everything Plan but did see they have Calorie-Smart and Veggie plans.
Once my box was delivered to my doorstep, I already felt like I was slowly getting back in control and into my routine. I threw out all the old party trays in my fridge and made space for the pre-bagged meals from HelloFresh.
I was shocked at how easy it was to cook the meals! I first went with Chicken in Creamy Peppercorn Sauce and loved how everything was pre-portioned — it made cooking easier and more convenient than it’s ever been for me! Prepping was beyond simple, I didn’t have leftover ingredients that would be left in my fridge, and I couldn’t believe I had cooked something so delicious.
Since I’m not known for my cooking skills, I love that I get to practice three times a week! Following the recipe cards is easy, and since I’m not worried about using the wrong number of ingredients, I feel like I’m really learning more and more about cooking every time and even expanding my palate.
HelloFresh’s menus change every week, so while my routine is getting more and more stable, my recipes are switching it up! Every week it’s like I get to travel the world recipe by recipe. I’ve tried meals like Harissa Chicken on Jewelled Bulgur and Bulgogi Pork and Mushroom Stir-Fry, and can’t wait to see what comes out next week.
I knew my eating habits weren’t great, but after using HelloFresh for a few weeks, I couldn’t believe I used to live like that! My routine was all over the place, and some days I would even skip meals. Now that I have HelloFresh, I am never going back.
HelloFresh was the ultimate unlock to finding my way back after the holidays. I’m getting back into regular eating habits, learning new ways to cook for myself with worldly ingredients and flavours, and I’m finally finding the perfect routine that works for me.
