Blue Apron has long been a pioneer in the meal kit world, and their foray into organic and sustainably sourced ingredients shows they’re just getting started. With a weekly-changing menu and options for both meal kits and ready-to-heat meals, Blue Apron strikes a balance between variety, quality, and user-friendly cooking.
What Makes Blue Apron Unique:
- Certified Ingredients: While not everything on the menu is USDA-certified organic, Blue Apron prioritizes organic options and enforces a strict non-GMO policy. Suppliers must certify that their ingredients are free from genetic engineering.
- Support for Sustainable Farming: Blue Apron partners with farmers who use responsible and regenerative practices, ensuring your dinner supports broader environmental goals.
- Flexible Formats: You can choose between traditional meal kits—perfect for those who like to cook—or premade meals for quick, heat-and-eat convenience. Both are available in two- or four-serving options, making it easy to cook for yourself or your family.
- Menu Transparency: Curious about what’s coming next week? Blue Apron lets you preview menus in advance, so you can build a plan that fits your preferences and pantry.
Tasty Menu Ideas:
- Roasted Broccoli with Fregola Sarda: A warm, comforting dish that puts veggies at the center
- Cheesy Truffle Steak Tip Sandwiches: Decadent yet balanced, with a gourmet twist
Sustainability in Packaging: While Blue Apron uses some hard plastic for freshness, many of their packaging materials—like boxes and liners—are recyclable at curbside. They also encourage customers to recycle specialty plastics at designated drop-off centers.
