Get 2 Weeks of Free Meals When You Sign Up for HelloFresh This Black Friday

Originally published at realsimple.com

HelloFresh has already provided shoppers a delicious feast for Thanksgiving with its signature Thanksgiving box, but now the company is celebrating the holidays with another special gift. In honor of Black Friday, customers can get 14 free meals across five boxes when you sign up for HelloFresh using the promo code HFBF2021. Essentially, this covers dinner for two weeks, meaning you won't have to meal-prep on top of planning your Thanksgiving holiday. This Black Friday code will also cover shipping for the first box, so you don't have to sweat delivery costs (which are skyrocketing during the holidays this year).

So what are you getting when you sign up for this meal delivery service? In short, these are cost-effective meal kits that explore classic and unique flavors without much prep time. Examples of menu items include spaghetti with Brussels sprouts and parmesan cheese, blackened chicken and cauliflower grits, and a zucchini mozzarella and sun-dried tomato panini.

With prices starting at $57 per week, HelloFresh lets you customize your plan by choosing the number of servings and recipes you'd like to receive and noting any dietary preferences. For instance, vegetarians can enjoy delicious meals like black bean tacos and a chickpea Caesar salad, while pescatarians can feast on dishes like lobster ravioli and salmon with roasted potato wedges.

An added benefit of meal kit delivery is the reduction of food waste because these recipes are pre-portioned to fit your exact needs—whether you're feeding your family, your partner, or just yourself. HelloFresh also uses eco-conscious packaging with minimal and recyclable materials. All ingredients are sourced from partners with a focus on sustainability, and the distribution process has a 25 percent lower carbon footprint than traditional groceries bought at the store.

With almost 39,000 reviews, HelloFresh is rated 4.3 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot. Customers praise this service for its menu variety, delicious flavors, and customer service team. For convenience, HelloFresh offers flexible plans where you can skip a week or cancel at any time. One customer wrote, "HelloFresh has been AMAZING! The produce is always fresh, and the portions are generous. It has also greatly expanded our usual menu. Anyone who might feel they are in a food rut should give this a try! We have less food waste and are thoroughly enjoying the cooking experience."
