Flexible Plans, Less Hassle

The choice is yours with HelloFresh's family plan. Apart from having your weekly meal kits for kids delivered, you can also add extra meals to any week’s order, change your delivery day or menu preferences, skip a week, or cancel anytime.

Family meal planning is a convenient and efficient meal-time solution for many, but meal planning for kids tends to be more tedious than solo meal prep. Kids have varying preferences, and it’s easy to exhaust the same rotation of recipes. With meal delivery kits for kids, your kids can look forward to new, exciting recipes that they’ve selected themselves.

Meal delivery kits for kids allow family members to choose their meal plan of choice whether they are vegetarian, pescatarian or gluten-free. With family food delivery, you can choose from a wide variety of meal plans and recipes that suit various dietary needs. These plans accommodate families of all sizes, whether you are looking for a meal plan for a family of 4, 3 or even 2.

Get your kids excited about dinner with a HelloFresh kid food subscription box. Get them involved in the ordering process so they can discover new recipes and look forward to weekly deliveries. You can even get your children to try new foods, using our Veggie Superheroes activity sheets to open up the conversation and encourage them to eat more vegetables. Our food boxes come with family meal recipe cards that offer easy step-by-step instructions for the kids to follow along with if they want to join in the fun.

When you are tasked with feeding a family, it is hard enough to find the time to put together meals everyone can agree on.

Sourcing healthy recipes for kids, including even the pickiest of eaters, is another obstacle entirely.

Leftovers

HelloFresh have made it their mission to reduce food waste. That’s why their ingredients are preportioned and packed to reduce waste: they'll only ever send you exactly what you need to cook your chosen recipes.

When it comes to food waste in the home, making the most of every last morsel will have a huge impact on the amount you ultimately go to throw away. If you notice your scraps and leftovers are in need of a little TLC, the HelloFresh chefs have shared some unique tricks to make the most of your odds and ends and make your fresh produce go that little bit further.

Sometimes, no matter how carefully we plan, there are leftovers after a meal. To prevent waste, make a point of using them up. Perhaps you could have last night’s dinner for lunch the following day (but if you leave the house for work and don’t have access to a microwave this might not be appropriate for you.)

If you can’t use leftovers immediately, store them properly for later use. Keep a handy stash of plastic containers for this purpose. If you freeze leftovers, make sure they are labelled. When you need to keep them in the fridge, a clear plastic box is useful. Don’t let them get shoved to the back and forgotten about though – plan to use them within a few days.

It’s helpful to have a ‘use me first’ shelf in your fridge where leftovers can live, alongside short date items. Train your household to eat them first!

Be flexible with your meal plan to incorporate leftover food. You could also have a leftovers night each week or fortnight on your meal plan to make sure they aren’t forgotten about.

Before your next grocery shop, get creative with the odds and ends still in your fridge. Can you make soup or stew? Can those wrinkled peppers or carrots be chopped up and frozen to use later? How about making a bread pudding with that half a stale loaf?

If you do find yourself with some leftovers, here are some more tips on what to do with some of them:

Cheese Rind

Cut your rind into chunks and add to soups and tomato sauces during cooking for a richer, creamier flavour. Delicious!

Rosemary

Whizz up leftover rosemary with salt in a food processor and leave to dry out for an easy and quick flavoured seasoning.

Coriander Stalks

Finely chop and add to soup and stews for flavour, using the leaves as a garnish.

Lemon Zest

Add lemon zest, garlic and herbs to softened butter, roll into a sausage shape in some greaseproof paper, chill and slice as needed for use as garnish to cooked potatoes or fish.

Herbs

Whizz with a bit of oil in a blender and freeze as a paste in ice cube trays.

Honey

Crystallised honey can be revitalised by microwaving it for a few seconds.

Vegetable odds and ends

Use vegetable peelings to flavour a homemade stock during the simmering stage before straining.

Broccoli Stalks

Don’t chuck the tough stalks from your greens, instead, slowly braise them in stock for a tasty side.

Ginger

Dry in a low oven and store in an airtight container for ginger tea.defrost to use as toppings for pies or fish bakes.

Root Veggies

Slice very thinly and deep-fry in 190°C oil until golden. Season with salt for homemade crisps.
