Meal Kit Review: Home Chef

When I wasn't happy with Blue Apron, a friend suggested that I try Home Chef.  I've ordered three meal kits with two meals each.

I like that most Home Chef meals come together in about 30 minutes.  And they have lots of flavor.  The price point is very similar to Blue Apron (still high for our family).

Unlike Blue Apron, Home Chef has a limited number of healthy options.  Even some of the low calorie meals are high in fat.  So if you eat healthy, choose your meals carefully (fortunately it's very easy to access nutritional info).

Tip: if you order a $40 meal kit, you'll pay shipping.  But if you add the fruit basket or smoothie kit, you will qualify for free shipping -- and get more food for the same price.

I found a few recipes that I'll make again.  I loved the blue cheese quinoa salad.  And the Parmesan spoon bread (that came with BBQ chicken) was delish.  I liked the egg roll in a bowl but next time I'll make it with chicken.
