I wanted a range of meal types, so I selected the vegetarian Three Cheese Calzone with kale and golden raisins, which was dubbed a “customer favorite” the Harissa-Glazed Chicken Drumsticks with potato wedges and chard, a Whole 30 compliant meal and the Ginger Pork Meatballs with bok choy and jasmine rice, which was marked as a 30-minute meal as well as another customer favorite. Each entree has an ingredient list, a calorie count, and a wine pairing idea (Blue Apron also has a wine service). If you don’t like any of the offerings, you can push or skip a week they show the menus for three weeks at a time. If I had been paying (Blue Apron sent me the box in exchange for providing an honest review for Grok Nation), it would have been $10.99 per serving, which is just over $65 for the week.

I was cooking for myself and my sister, so I chose the two-person plan for three meals. The eight recipe options are a pretty even mix of vegetarian and meat options. Once you’ve made your pick and entered billing info, you select your delivery date and your meals.

The two-person box is available for two or three meals a week and the family box is available for two, three, or four meals a week. Signing up for Blue Apron is pretty simple: You select whether you want a two-person box or a family box, which serves four. We’re kicking off this review series with Blue Apron, which in my mind is the OG meal kit box. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be reviewing various meal delivery services and seeing if they make dinner time easier, better, or cheaper. We’re all for things that make life better at Grok Nation, so we wanted to put these boxes to the test. Now, if we could find one that does all three-we’d have a winner! Some claim to make dinner prep faster others profess to save you money and many will apparently teach you to cook like a pro. If you spend any amount of time on social media networks, you’ve probably seen countless ads for various meal delivery services.
