Cooking for One
If you want fresh meals for one person sent straight to your door, HelloFresh offers the ultimate single person meal delivery alternative. While our smallest food delivery box serves two people, this setup is absolutely perfect if you’re a single-person household.
You can cook a fantastic dinner tonight and pack the second portion away for tomorrow's lunch.
Our menu features an incredible variety of global cuisines and accommodates diets from vegetarian to pescatarian, making this the smartest meal box for one available in Ireland.
What does a meal plan for one look like?
With a HelloFresh meal delivery, you’ll be able to choose meals for three to five nights of the week. And because each meal comes with a two person serving, you’ll be able to have a serving for lunch too! Here is what a meal plan for one could look like on your table:
| Day of Week | Lunch Recipe | Dinner Recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Lunch of your choice | Middle Eastern Beef Stew |
| Tuesday | Leftover Beef Stew | Bacon Wrapped Chicken |
| Wednesday | Leftover Bacon Wrapped Chicken | Chorizo and Mushroom Pasta |
| Thursday | Leftover Creamy Pasta | Spiced Beef Tortillas |
| Friday | Leftover Beef Tortillas | Ultimate Fish and Chips |

Meal delivery for singles FAQs
Can you order HelloFresh for one person?
The minimum serving for our meals is two, but leftovers can be easily wrapped and refrigerated for a delicious lunch the next day. You can also have supplies to hand should you invite friends and family to dinner.
Can you see HelloFresh meals for one before buying?
Yes! The meals you choose are completely up to you and you’ll have full visibility of the recipe before you buy.
Do I need to be an expert to use a single person meal kit?
If you’re only just finding your way around the kitchen, then the HelloFresh single person meal kit is for you. We’ve included detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to cook your favorite meals, and almost everything you need is included in the box. You only need to stock up on a little oil and seasonings to go with a few basic pieces of kitchen equipment.
Is HelloFresh a healthy option when cooking for one?
Every recipe on our menu is designed by professional chefs to form part of a balanced, nutritious diet. We clearly label our calorie-smart, protein-packed, and veggie-focused options, allowing you to easily choose meals that align with your personal health goals.
How does the weekly subscription work for singles?
Our service operates on a highly flexible weekly subscription. Your payment is processed a week before your scheduled delivery. If you are heading out of town, planning dinner dates, or simply want a break, you can pause or skip a week through your account page without any hassle.
Do the fresh ingredients need to be refrigerated immediately?
Your delivery will arrive in insulated packaging equipped with frozen gel packs to keep your meats, dairy, and vegetables perfectly chilled. While you should transfer your fresh items to the fridge as soon as you unpack the box, they will stay cool and fresh on your doorstep if you are out when the delivery driver arrives.
