After trying both recently, I think Hello Fresh is better than Blue Apron

I realize that these services might not be for everyone, but they fit my situation well.
Anyway, after using both I have noticed that HF appears to provide more food than BA. With HF I can usually get 3 meals out of a single recipe vs 2 for BA. The recipes themselves seem comparable between both companies.
The packaging of HF is a little more manageable, and I like the fact that peeled cloves of garlic are sent vs a raw bunch from BA. The recipe sheets for HF are also a better size for sticking in a cookbook. BA has a better app and website though.
Both plans I have tried are $60 / week for 3 recipes. Considering portion size it works out to about $7 / meal for HF vs $10 / meal for BA.
Just my opinion.

Home Chef has been my favorite out of them that I have tried, but I have paused my account and now preparing my own meals for the week and using a sous vide.

That is the exact same reason I prefer hello fresh over blue apron. However I haven't ordered from either in a while.

Hello Fresh loves them some salmon and couscous.

I find HF instructions are a little more clear & simple, and make you dirty less dishes. BA has more "exotic" ingredients which can be cool to try new things. I have both and just choose which one has better recipes that week.

Why is peeling garlic such a deal-breaker? Just smash the cloves and it becomes super easy to peel.

Never said anything was a deal breaker. I said I prefer one over the other.

Thank you for the information. My wife and I want join one of these services. I love to cook but it's a production and the price is pretty darned good considering what I spend if I go to the grocery store. I also like the portioning both for diet and because I hate leftovers and there wouldn't be any.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

This makes peeling garlic even easier. I love this gadget.

Wife and I have been using "Plated" since December. Recipes are kind of Country French in general and have been delicious. We are pretty satisfied so far. It's a bit expensive, but we are trying things we wouldn't normally eat

I find the Hello Fresh meals to be extremely, extremely boring.
The Blue Apron ones are definitely more tasty and have a lot more going on. However as a result, they are slightly more complicated and require a bit more cleanup.

We do Hello Fresh, but we do the Family Plan and its usually better meals as far as easiness to make.

We have one of these for Garlic. It makes life with these meal services much easier.

When I was on Home Chef, I used the Sousvide to prepare the meat depending on the recipe.

You have to peel it before using that unless you like garlic husk.
