In addition to the packaging, the actual protein tasted better. The salmon and shrimp came in nice plastic trays, and the chicken came individually bagged to prevent the juices from getting on everything. The packaging and quality of the protein is significantly better. Most of the sauces come in little plastic dishes instead of HF pouches. The soy sauce comes in little plastic bottles, the seafood comes in plastic trays. They call these 'Knick Knacks' for some reason.Ĭompared to HF, I was surprised how much plastic waste is included. They ship all of the produce loose in the box, and then other items are included grouped in bags depending on the recipe. HF ships everything you need for a meal in a paper bag.

Glad to see BA also uses Veho in our area (Washington DC). We had Veho for HF and had a generally good experience. They did send me a helpful email beforehand saying it was delayed.

Not a huge deal, but something to keep an eye on. This might just be due to the vertical nature of HF. HF definitely has a more user friendly app for managing your menu. HF normally had 15-20 meals, BA has closer to 10-12.īA offers microwavable 'Heat & Eat' style meals that you can add to your box. The first thing you notice is the decrease in choices. I figured writing down the changes I noticed might be helpful to those who are curious. I cancelled HelloFresh last week and switched to BlueApron for the first time.
