What makes Blue Apron stand out from the crowd?
Truly, what sets Blue Apron apart from the competition is that it strives to eliminate wholesalers, grocery warehouses, and even grocery stores. They accomplish this by working directly with farmers so that they can deliver fresh produce and ingredients to your door while helping local producers.
You will also be able to learn a lot through their well-thought out instructions on the recipe cards that they provide. Additionally, you can keep track of this and your order information on a mobile app if you use iOS. This allows you to:
- • Keep Track on the MoveCheck account information
- • Look at unique hand-picked seasonal recipes
- • Watch how-to videos and tutorials
- • Get cooking tips
- • Understand more about where and how your food arrives at your door
- • Update and modify your subscription information, including deliveries
What kinds of meals are there?
You will have access to Blue Apron’s back catalogue of recipes to choose from, which gives you a lot of variety right at the start. On top of this, you will get 6 new choices every week if you are in the 2-person plan, and 4 choices if you are in the family plan.
This does mean that family plan users will have a more limited selection, but thanks to the recipe bank, which is the back catalogue, you can mitigate this. There are a lot of different types of cuisine, including Asian, Indian, Italian, Mediterranean, and Mexican, so there is something for everyone.
You will be able to look through the recipes by season or by main ingredient, or even by Vegetarian meal plans. Unfortunately, specialty diets such as gluten-free, low-carb or diabetic are a little trickier to search for, but you can exclude items to make this a little easier.
How much does Blue Apron cost?
Blue Apron has two different meal plans, one for couples or 2 people, and the other that is for a family of 4. The family plan is flexible and can range from 2-4 people. All meal plans can be modified so that customers receive either 2, 3 or 4 meals per week, depending on what they prefer.
Shipping is free with most of the plans that Blue Apron offer. The lowest you can expect to pay is around $7.49 if you purchase the 2-person plan with 2 recipes per week. Keep in mind that you can also skip weeks or cancel your subscription at any point.
How to get started
Simply provide a valid email address, your location, and then choose between the couple or family plan. From there you will need to select the meals you want from the weekly menu. Finally, just provide your payment information and when you would like your deliveries to come. It’s that easy!
