  • First of all, welcome to my channel and thank you for clicking on my face!
    I have been quite vocal with my negative opinions on meal kit subscriptions, so I thought I would put them to the test and see if my opinions are valid or if getting a meal kit subscription box (we decided to go for green chef as it has the most vegan/vegetarian options from what I could see) would actually change my mind.
    I had a BUYAGIFT voucher about to run out and saw that I could get an 8 meal box for just £2.99 rather than the over £60 it was meant to be! I put the meals to the test and share with you all my thoughts on meal kits and whether I now think they are actually worth the huge price tag they come along with!

    It would be great to see you recreate and cost out the meals that were in the box.

    Would love to see you recreate the meals and see what you could get away with spending and how much more you’d get.

    Great to finally see a review of a meal subscription that seems realistic as opposed to sponsored and glowing. I'd be very interested in you seeing remake the recipes yourself with own bought ingredients

      Yes! It might take me a little while to get it made but do hope to make this video! ☺️

    Those do look good! I guess it helps reduce food waste too. I do t try new recipes because of having to buy all the little oils and stuff that you need because it's a waste on buying it if it's not gonna get used again 🙃 I think k I'm going to give the kits a go. Thanks for doing this video.

    Hi Amelia that was great, I have never used them as you say they are so expensive for what you get. i love that you used the voucher to get it to try though, one of my friends had something like that for a while and let me borrow me the cards and I made meals from them on my budget.☺You are looking well. x

    Interesting - I had the Hello Fresh vegetarian meals for a while some years ago - they were very expensive, and sometimes they got the ingredients wrong - one time I got a kidney bean chilli recipe, and they forgot to include the kidney beans! They did refund my money for that, but yes, these chefs do not seem to realise that veggie/vegan people do require far more vegetables than a meat-eater. I also found that the meals were very repetitive and were just variations on their themes, just with different spices added! I would not go back to having these meal kits!!!
