Thinking about trying Blue Apron, but don’t want to commit? I tested their new no-subscription meals and I'm giving you my honest review. I cooked three different dinners in one week. Two Assemble & Bake meals and one Meal Kit to find out how easy they really are, how they taste, and whether they’re actually family-friendly.
In this video, I unbox the delivery and show you everything that came in the box, how long each meal took, what I swapped (hello, no chorizo), and what genuinely surprised me by the end of the week. If you’re looking for a meal kit service without a subscription, or just want to eat better with less stress, this one’s for you.
