Frequently Asked Questions
How can I meal prep with HelloFresh?
With HelloFresh, you can plan and pick your meals ahead of time. All the pre-portioned ingredients you need will then be delivered straight to your door, so you can cook them as quickly as possible with easy step-by-step instructions.
Are HelloFresh meals freezable?
Many HelloFresh meals are freezable, particularly our one-pot dishes like stews, curries and potato-topped pies. You can choose your recipes each week, giving you the option to choose dishes that are freezer-friendly.
What does a HelloFresh food box come with?
Your HelloFresh food box will come with the ingredients and recipe cards you need to make the meals you’ve chosen. All of the ingredients will be pre-portioned and assigned to each recipe card, so all you need to do is prepare and cook.
Can HelloFresh meals be reheated?
Many HelloFresh meals can be reheated, making them perfect for pre-cooking. If you’re choosing meals with the intention of re-heating, however, it’s best to avoid recipes with non-microwave-friendly ingredients such as eggs, fish and chicken.
What are the best foods for meal prep for beginners?
Start simple! Great foods for a beginner's weekly meal prep include batch-cooked grains (rice, quinoa), roasted vegetables (broccoli, sweet potatoes), grilled chicken, and one-pot dishes like stews or curries that taste even better the next day.
How do you keep healthy meal prep from getting boring?
Variety is key! Use "Component Cooking" (see our tips above) so you can mix and match. Prepare 2-3 different healthy sauces or dressings to change the flavour of your base ingredients each day.
