What types of meals does Blue Apron offer?

Blue Apron offers a wide variety of meal options to fit different lifestyles and preferences. You can choose from:

• Meal Kits: The classic Blue Apron experience, these kits provide the ingredients and recipes for you to cook from scratch.
• Oven-Ready Meals: These require minimal prep and cleanup, often just assembling the ingredients on a baking sheet and putting them in the oven.
• Prepared & Ready Meals (Dish): These are pre-made, ready-to-eat meals that can be heated up in minutes, perfect for busy days.
• Market Offerings: You can also add on other items like wine bundles, heat-and-eat meals and individual items like burritos or smoothies.

What exactly do I get in a meal kit Blue Apron box?

Each Blue Apron meal kit box contains all the pre-portioned, fresh ingredients you need to cook the meals you've selected. It also includes large, full-color recipe cards with step-by-step instructions and photos to guide you through the cooking process. You will be responsible for providing common pantry staples like salt, pepper and olive oil. The ingredients are carefully packed in an insulated box with ice packs to ensure freshness upon arrival.

How do I choose my meals at Blue Apron?

Every week, Blue Apron's culinary team creates a new rotating menu of 100+ meals, including quick-prep kits, pre-made options and one-pan dishes designed for busy lifestyles. You can view the menu on the website or app and select the meals that appeal to you. The options often include choices for two or four servings and cater to different dietary patterns like vegetarian, carb-conscious and more.

Do I have to sign up for a subscription at Blue Apron?

No, Blue Apron has changed its model and no longer requires a subscription. You can now purchase meal kits and other items a la carte. However, they do offer an Autoship & Save service for recurring deliveries, which provides an additional savings of 5% off on every order.

How do my Blue Apron orders stay fresh in transit?

Blue Apron takes great care to ensure your food arrives fresh and safe. Each box is packed with insulated liners and ice packs to keep ingredients at the right temperature while they're on their way to you. Blue Apron’s food safety team regularly checks and updates its packaging methods to ensure your food stays fresh no matter the conditions.

What to do when your Blue Apron box arrives?

As soon as you receive your box, it's crucial to put all perishable items—like meats, dairy and fresh produce—in the refrigerator right away. During warmer months or if you live in a hot climate, a little planning can help. Be ready to bring the box inside and get the ingredients stored quickly to maintain their freshness.

How does the Blue Apron Autoship & Save plan work?

The Blue Apron Autoship & Save plan automatically sends you a box with the meals you've selected on a regular schedule. You can customize your delivery frequency and skip deliveries up to five weeks in advance. If you don't select your meals for a given week by the cutoff date, Blue Apron will choose for you based on your stated preferences.

How do I manage my upcoming deliveries from Blue Apron?

You can easily skip a delivery from Blue Apron by managing your upcoming deliveries in your account settings and skipping a specific week as long as you do so before the order's cutoff date. You can also cancel an Autoship plan online through your account settings or by emailing their customer service team. There is no cancellation fee. You just need to make sure you cancel before your next order has been processed to avoid being charged for a box you don't want.

What is the Blue Apron+ Membership?

With Blue Apron+, you get free shipping on all orders, free membership to Tastemade+ where you can stream unlimited food, travel and home shows and exclusive access to member-only items, experiences and perks. Blue Apron+ is $9.99 per month, meaning it pays for itself in just one order.

Do you offer a free trial of the Blue Apron+ membership?
