Blue Apron ready-to-make meal kits are claimed to be specially designed for those who are tired of cooking themselves every day. The company promises to provide you with new recipes every day. At first glance, the service seems to be a wonderful solution for people who don't find an answer to the question: "What's for dinner?" The service requires subscription and promises to y delivering all of your restaurant-quality meals directly to your home. According to the company you won't need to go shopping at your local grocery store every day. Signing up for Blue Apron, you will be provided with a few options to customize your deliveries. You will be able to decide how many people will be fed by each delivery; two, four, or six. You will be able to choose what kind of meal it will be like; fish/ poultry/ meat or vegetarian. You will also be able to specify when you would like to get your delivery; on which days of the week, and choose a delivery time between 8 am and 8 pm.

The company has an official website, according to which the members will be informed when additional delivery slots are available in their area. This might be a concern for people who have a strict schedule. It is mentioned on the site that deliveries of spices and raw ingredients come three times a week. A step-by-step recipe guide is also included and comes with pictures. Blue Apron promises that ingredients are well portioned and premeasured, which will be handy for users who struggle in the kitchen not to exceed an average caloric intake each day. Each serving of a Blue Apron meal is supposed to be within 500-700 calories. The company claims that the ingredients stay fresh until they are delivered. They source ingredients from local suppliers and farms, to keep them maximally fresh.

Ingredients of Blue Apron - Does It Really Work? Is It a Scam?

The official website of the company offers a variety of different meals for you to choose from. Some of them come with the full ingredient list, while others do not.

Customer Reviews - Does It Have Any Side Effects?

The manufacturer keeps silent when it comes to possible adverse reactions associated with the use of Blue Apron's service. Potential dangers exist everywhere, especially for people allergic to some foods. The service is associated with a great number of customer reviews. Unfortunately, the majority of them carry a negative character. The most common complaints refer to the low quality of products used for cooking Blue Apron meals, unpleasant taste of foods and dishonest company's policy. The final product fails to look like that on the photo that comes with it. The food is far from that served at a restaurant. The portion size is usually exact, even though sometime they deviate significantly. The majority of people gave the service three stars, saying that portion sizes were smaller than claimed.

The positive moment is that usually food arrives fresh. However, the recipes are often not tasty and banal. Some reviews demonstrate that some members were left hungry. Cecelia from San Jose was left without her $60 when her delivery did not arrive. An attempt to cancel the service took her a week, and an email to the company's service was unanswered. The service looks like scam, according to many customers. One man writes that he bought a gift card, set up an account, and made an order. He was rather satisfied with the food and delivery, but he was harassed by the necessity to add a credit card to an account. He could not even "re-activate his account" without adding a credit card to see what they are going to send him next week. Let's take a look at the real customers' reviews left online.

"Blue Apron is a total scam! It is impossible to cancel my account. They continue sending me food and charging my credit card. I have sent an email with a request to cancel my membership, but they simply ignored it. The meals are very expensive, even though the food itself is cheap (spaghetti, chicken breasts, etc.) The meals are too spicy for me, an unknown powder tastes unnatural. Their food is disgusting and obviously not healthy"

"I am going to contact my Legal Shield lawyers tomorrow to help me with BlueApron. It turns out to be a scam because they will not allow me to cancel the membership. In order to do it, I had to email them. They sent me the email saying that I have canceled, but the next week I was again sent their food. I am sick and tired of this nightmare"

"I have been trying to cancel Blue Apron membership for a whole week. It is not as simple as claimed. I googled "how to cancel Blue Apron", received an email link and sent them a cancellation email. I got a response back, went to the cancellation link but failed to find any magical button on their website. This is the most stupid waste of time and money"

Where To Buy Blue Apron?

Each Blue Apron kit costs $10 per person, per meal. You will be sent three meals each week for at least two people, thus, you are expected to spend at least $60 a week. Shipping fees are included in the price. You will need to reactivate your credit card on a weekly basis, which is a real concern for many users, I must say. The company claims that you can cancel your membership anytime but it appears to be not that easy in reality. You will need to cancel no later than a week before your next delivery date. The deadline to cancel is at 12:00 PM EST. The product isn't available on Walmart, Amazon or GNC.

My Final Summary

I don't think that Blue Apron service is worth your attention, especially taking into consideration all of the negative customers' reviews. They faced real problems trying to cancel their membership. The company does not take care for people who have any dietary restrictions. The food is very expensive and nasty. It takes too much time to cook it. It is better to go to the supermarket and cook a meal on your own with no problems. I cannot recommend Blue Apron service to anyone.
