I Ate Nothing But Blue Apron For A Week
This video is a fail...First meal, she gets stressed out about boiling water...it only goes downhill from there.
She is acting like a idiot, I'm being honest with you, I'm 11 and I'm not even that whinny
Well. Blue Apron target group are people who can not cook. If Blue Apron doesn't work for such people, then there's something wrong with that service.
@@IamAlmostRealWitch plenty of people who use it do cook, if not the majority. I actually really like cooking but get burnt out so I get meal kit deliveries as a luxury to keep me interested in cooking.
She did say that she doesn't know how to cook very early in the video
@@IamAlmostRealWitch Nah it's for people who like to cook but are super busy so they have a tough time finding time to go shopping for all the ingredients for recipes. Most people who don't like to cook won't keep paying for a service that requires you to cook lol.
Why are you having leftover when you go out to buy extra dinner because you still hungry?
Because the ACTUAL truth is, she is addicted to and spoiled on fast food/take out. When you eat take out constantly, fresh food and planned meals become less desirable and vice versa. If you eat fresh foods constantly, then fast food becomes undesirable. So, while the quesadillas were good, she really just wanted what she's used to. So, she made her usual trip out, instead of eating what she made until full. Same goes with the "Spoiled" left overs. There's no way the left overs went bad that fast. It was just an excuse to not have to eat the same thing again. People who eat take-out also become spoiled by the fact that they DON'T HAVE TO eat the same thing over again, and they can have exactly what they are craving every single day/meal, so just the thought of having to eat the same thing again, made her kinda sick in a way and made her either "think" the left overs were spoiled, or just flat out lie, just so she could have what she really wanted/was craving.
Edit: Plus, cooking and clean up is an added hassle to a take out addict. Further spoiling the whole experience.
P.S. This is coming from an ex-take out addict, so I know how she feels. I'm not judging her in any way. We all have our preferences. Our minds and bodies get used to things we do constantly. And while one way is best for one person, another way is best for the next. Don't get mad at her or judge people based on what they like. I do think this should have been titled, "I Ate Nothing But Blue Apron For A Week, from a take out addicts point of view"
YAAAAAAS!
@@hypno_bunny disregard what I said. The reason why she's struggling because she had no EXPERIENCE in the kitchen. Blue Apron takes you through the instructions step-by-step and it's very simple
Whats the logic if she can't cook?
well blue apron is targeted towards people who can't cook good and after a year of using it, Jacksfilms everytime he gets a blue apron sponsored video you just see him handle things in the kitchen like a pro

@@0x00Fyou “Cook well,” not “cook good.”
Ate nothing but Blue Apron for a week, buys roast pork on DAY 3.
*Buys wanton noodle soup on day 6*
Not only buys roast pork on day 3, but complained that she was still hungry after eating the quesadilla only to have leftovers the next day.
well, its expected from INSIDER channels

2 years later but 3:53 I'm not a quitter you failed the day before!
How are you an adult and never handled raw meat before?
I killed my first chicken last week :)
😏
Oh she's handled raw meat, just not for cooking.

Title: I ate nothing but Blue Apron for a week
Video: Only used blue apron for dinner
Somebody Knows 🤔
How do people afford takeout all the time???
Kamm Snow Takeout for one person isn’t that expensive
I eat nothing but fast food and only spend $300/mo total
Plenty of inexpensive takeout for $5 a meal. I would just eat two dollar menu cheeseburgers or two slices of pizza.
also depending on how much you can eat in a single sitting, you could split a $10-15 meal into 2 meals
By working harder than others
Are you serious?
Did you heat in a pan the leftover quesadilla and the meatloaf instead of throwing it right away? P.s. If you put warm stuff in a tupperware it's logic that the day after you'll see water drops in.
Logic and commonsense is not strong part of Insider 😂
6 minutes of whining and complaining. There you can click off now
She lied she ate food i didnt see any blue aprons being eaten in this vid i hate it
Mr Teepawt i know right?
Sameeeee thoooo
im a monstern't
We've Been Tricked, We've Been Backstabbed and We've Been Quite Possibly, Bamboozled.
I usually don’t like to diss millennials but here’s a classic example of one - She eats and takes out everyday, too lazy to cook, and whiny about everything. Blue Apron wasn’t designed to have leftovers, so no wonder why they didn’t taste good. The title of the video lies because she gets take out on day 3 and every other day was leftovers, so it wasn’t always new.
I'm gen z and I do roofing too tired to cook so last night I destroyed 4 big Macs and past out on my bed
Didn't get home till 10:30 pm
I solo roof in new construction almost done with a 47 square nightmare with flashing everywhere.
I live off gas station food and restaurants.
@@bryanmartinez6600 diabetes you have dibates
@@bryanmartinez6600 and your toilet was destroyed too
@@anonymoushuman8443 no longer do construction but eh now I hardly sleep sometimes, this Monday got 2 hours of sleep and barely made it with 3 Redbulls
She looks like she doesn't know how to cook
expectation : follow instructions
reality : let ur belly instruct you
I think blue apron is a stupid waste of money but you could have put some more effort into this video. Also, the fact that you had leftovers but went out for extra food is just absurd... just eat the rest of the quesadilla. I hope they don't work on the food videos when they don't even know what garlic looks like.
Of course blue apron isn't a good fit for you. You don't have any skills. What is so hard. Stop complaining like it's torture. Many people go to sleep hungry. Geez
Blue Apron target group are people who can not cook. If Blue Apron doesn't work for such people, then there's something wrong with that service.
Still hungry. I'm going to get a take away but I still have leftovers. Next day the leftovers are not as tasteful. There are people who are starving in the States.
Except for Lasagna leftovers. They taste so much better overnight
Given the fact that even people who are living at the poverty line in the US are at least 30 lbs. overweight, I doubt anyone here is starving.
you never cooked?... what a SHOCK!
Why are people proud to be mediocre? Cooking real food isn't hard and let's say you didn't want to go that route. Adding boiling water and other ingredients to prepackaged meals isn't hard either.
I fry rice and it’s so easy
Take cold pre cooked rice
Take my onion and garlic chop it or blend it slightly and put into a pan or wok with hot oil and fry, then add rice a few spoons of soy sauce and crack an egg in and mix then also add veggies and meat before the rice if I have them then too with spring onions
I learnt to do that when I was 9
She's over exaggerating, cooking is not even that hard. People eating out too much nowadays, I eat out like once a month.
Ate nothing but Blue Apron for a week, buys won ton noodle soup on DAY 5.
The funny thing is that making wonton noodle soup yourself is very easy if you live near an Asian supermarket
Wait she said the quesadillas didn't fill her up but she didn't eat all of them?????
This video was a complete waste of my time lol. This person was being paid to do this and still complained every step of the way. Her criticisms didn't even make sense.
I've been doing blue apron and I keep all the recipes and it's helping me learn to cook. Super fun to do with a partner too ❤️
Still sub to blue apron??
Failed challenge and don’t know how a garlic looks like...
How have millennials made an art out of not being able to cook?
Like damn, how does it take almost an hour for a quesadilla?
Why is cooking so hard for everyone now? Like, WHY!!!
Some people weren't taught
Laziness & fear of criticism!
Yea.. i also concerned about the plastics and boxes that blue apron left after cooking...
Recycle!
This person ate leftovers twice and ate roast pork takeout LOL. False title.
I feel sad for people who dont know how to cook.
I've tried 6 different meal delivery services. Blue apron isn't the easiest, but it's definitely not hard...if you know what you're doing, you don't need to follow step by step. sometimes to save time, I'd cook two kits at once and eat leftovers the next day... They always tasted fine... but I stopped using all services because of all the packaging waste... you can't recycle all those individual bags/ containers
Thanks for your review. I can see where not knowing how to cook, plus having all those options readily available would turn you off to meal services like blue apron. I recently started with Hello Fresh, same concept. I find it easy, and most recipes are good as leftovers. Obviously you don’t want to eat a burger you cooked the night before, but many of the pasta dishes are delicious. Your video, is great for anyone who never learned to cook growing up. Thank you again for making the video. I personally appreciated it.
What a disappointing video 😞
You’re in your twenties and it was your first time handling raw meat? That’s pretty pampered of you
How to make a failed blue apron video in under 7 minutes.
60$??? Just look up recipes online
Whatever Vids they also send you the ingredients... it’s a good deal especially since they are giving you fresh things
@@ashlynm7986 you can just go to your local farmers market and get fresh ingredients there😂
@@ashlynm7986 she just showed the rotten potato in the videi
@@taitemarshall that's what exactly Blue Apron is. You're to lazy to go to the store but want to cook the meal and you have no idea how to pick the best ingredients. Then this the solution for you.
@@madridistasejati5358 An example why some lazy people can't afford stuff😑
Oh Michelle if you see this and decide you still want to continue cooking, maybe these tips would help you.
1. Try much simpler recipes. There are numerous one pot recipes with very little ingredients. Cut everything up, throw it into the pot, add salt, pepper and water. Boil for 30 mins and voila.
2. Avoid recipes that requires you to spend a lot of time on the meat, such as patties. You should just spend time seasoning the meat with salt and pepper that's about it. Oh.. also work with recipes that has smaller pieces of meat to cut down on cooking time
3. Use a wok (or deep pan instead of the shallow ones) . You can substitute raw garlic or onions with store bought paste if you're not comfortable with peeling and cutting them in the beginning. Get a bottle of good quality soy sauce and that should do it for simple Asian dishes. This is for those who think Asian dishes are hard to cook.
4. You can use soda to make sauces. Pour a can into the pan and stir till it thickens (low to medium heat). This is great if you have left over deep fried meat from the day before. Chuck them into the boiling soda and dish out after stirring for a couple of minutes.
5. Don't get upset by the recommended preparation/cooking time. Everyone has their own pace and you'll get quicker with experience.
6. Start by cooking once a week.. until you're comfortable with gradually moving to twice, and so on. Going all out for the whole week when you don't even have the basics probably made you dislike cooking. Don't aim too high.. cooking 3 - 4 times a week is a great achievement for someone with a day job.
It's not that hard once you get the hang of it.
This consteuctive criticism is really appreciated ans this is coming from someone who's also learning how to cook
Textbook definition of entitlement LOL
Such a lie :/ you did eat other thing , the Chinese rice
I love Blue Apron. It taught me how to cook and I’ve made beautiful meals that taste good.
Unlike many of the posters here, I felt sorry for you cooking without any experience - it can be quite dangerous! Cooking is a great art form that takes practice. I've never used any delivery food services but I'm starting to look into what's available as I am very weary of doing all the grocery shopping and all the prepping and all the cooking. In your situation, it's good that you have wonderful restaurants in your neighborhood to rely on. As you found out, once foods have been refrigerated, they lose some or all of their flavor which is why I'm not so interested in paying for a delivery service of prepared meals in microwave trays (seems like eating expensive leftovers!). Your experience looked like a lot of work and clean-up especially after a long day at your job, but some of your efforts turned out well, all things considered. My best to you!
I went through two companies before i started with blue apron. I had hello fresh and I liked all the meal plans I got and their recipes were on point. Everyplate is almost the same as hello fresh, my favorite dish from every plate was sweet potato quesadillas they were the most delicious quesadilla I have ever eaten. Blue apron is more fancy I think lol. I have cooked fish, fresh pizza like all sorts of stuff and I'm a beginner as well I'm still learning how to cook a meal without the food boxes. Now I'm learning grocery shopping.
In her defense, even level one Blue Apron recipes are a bit sophisticated for people who have never cooked. It's not reasonable to expect to finish preparation in the time they claim it takes unless you have two items cooking at the same time, usually along with a third process. While instructions are usually clear, that's not always true. In Blue Apron's defense, the meals are for two and not really intended to be "shelf stable", so they're not meant to have as leftovers. I've tried Blue Apron for about 6 weeks+ and as a non-cook, I'm not sure how I feel. It's definitely healthier than fast food, not much more expensive, but it's more work than they claim, for certain. As far as taste? Not bad at all, but only a few recipes have made me want to try them again.
Pesto Mac & Cheese was out of this world.
I don't know who this girl is. (I'm new to the channel) but I love her lol. She reminds me of my daughter 💜😂
Someone should do a review of this video review... it's so awful on so many points.
This heffa burnt the broccoli... Katt Williams, get Wanda on the line.😂
Elizabeth Walker LMAO 😂😂🤣
Who buys roast pork cause they are still hungry but eats there left over quesadilla the next night. 🤦♂️
Exactly
"Have you ever seen whole foods in your life?" LMAO girl, you are spoooiled.
I’d agree on the portion sizes. I tried blue apron and even though I payed for the 2 serving sizes some recipes was just not enough food for two people while others was more than enough. Ex. The olive and fontina pizza feed my family of four perfectly. On the other hand the ozro pesto pasta barely made two it was more like 1 and a half
I mean.....blue apron......can taste ok.....
I did it with no cooking experience and loved it. Too expensive tho
How do you have left overs but still manage to still be hungry?
this is pretty sad.
I would recommend that you save the recipes. After you get enough recipes, stop buying meal kits from Blue Apron. Go to a grocery store and buy the food that those recipes require. Use those recipes to cook.
Learn how to make something that is easy such as the following: bacon, eggs, pancakes or waffles, and fruit for breakfast, homemade burger and homemade fries for lunch, and steamed rice, roasted vegetables, and seared steak for dinner. It's not fancy, but you if make those things frequently, you'll spend less money ordering takeout.
I thought u meant eating a blue apron
Seeing blue apron for the first time, it looks good. Maybe you can you just follow the instructions better next time, and study cooking more 😉
Blue Apron target group are people who can not cook. If Blue Apron doesn't work for such people, then there's something wrong with that service.
@@IamAlmostRealWitch even if they don’t know how to cook they should put more effort into it than that
Send her to grandma in Jamaica in the country part. She will be better than Gordon Ramsey within 3 week.
Yeah...same with Hello Fresh. I actually ate an entire meal for 2 people by myself. I ate half of it at 7:30 and then, feeling absolutely famished, ate the other half 3-4 hours later. Those meals are tiny. I wonder if these companies are assuming that you are going to also have a starter on hand or something. Sometimes they are filling though. It just depends. One thing is clear though - I think I eat way more veg when i make something myself rather than blue apron or hello fresh
with 3.68 million subs and 1.4k thumbs up and 2k thumbs down, I'm guessing this must not be your best liked video.
I’ve had that quesadilla issue. Warming them in the oven is better than the microwave
Any food warmed is microwave oven is disgusting. I did side-by-side test with same meal heated in microwave and oven. The oven-heated food is way tastier. When my microwave broke shortly after that, i didn't replace it.
I was going to get one of these to save time and thought. This video helped. Even if i get it done in half her time, thats too long and I'll have to continue getting hamburger helper and hungry man type meals 😭
how do you mess up pasta? like how?
The title is misleading she went to Chinese market every night.
Lol that's okay the first time I started cooking I had a lot of hiccups too!!
Why youtubers like to create drama over simple daily tasks? Will I see people ranting over laundry or mopping floor soon?
This is me when I have to do my homework or hit the gym.
I know how to cook, but I'm not quite chef-level yet. This might be a good option for me. Thanks for your honest review! Thumbs-up!!!
"Blue Apron does not eliminate the need of cooking, need to chop food up, need to clean up the dishes."
Mom who goes to the market with shopping list everyday to get all the ingredients, prepare, cook and also wash the dishes:
Excuse me????
Grab Food Driver: Don't worry honey, I got your back!!
This is for people who do know how to cook...
It was good.. she was still hungry so she bought something else..
BUT this whole time she had extra??.. Kay?
I Ate Nothing But Blue Apron For A Week except I bought roast pork on day 3 and wonton noodle soup on day 6 and i only did it for 6 days
Wow what a good way to sponsor someone
This is literally the food version of The Verge building a pc lol.
"That does not look like a good potato.. "
>Insert clown music here
that roast pork with rice and wong tong nuddles thing looked amazing thou...
Why did you say that you finished bought more food then ate the “rest” for leftovers
Millennials. good god.
This video gave me what I came for: to see what how blue apron works. Thanks!
I’m a picky eater so I’d probably toss more than I ate from Blue Apron. Props to you for trying. All of your takeout looked yummy.
The portion sizes do not run small if you have a whole bunch of leftovers
"the last thing you want to do when you get home from work is ikea your dinner together "
“I ate nothing but blue apron for a week”
What a amazing lie that was
Awesome video about Blue Apron!
if i was blue apron i would sue her for deformation
Thank you for giving an honest opinion. Give me complete understanding of using this type of service. Someone who love to cook will like it. Cooking still difficult for me as well.
I sweat to God this is more than tasty Asian judge on buffalo Wings
Blue Apron sounds like my kind of Challenge. Cooking your own food, that's invaluable and incomparable. You cannot imagine how useful cooking skills are until you're away from parents.
What blue appron is:deathbattles biggest sponsor
Lol "challenge"? Bless your heart.
Pls redo this video with another host - someone with a semblance of maturity and intelligence
Is Blue Apron Fresh Or Is It Just Like Preserved Stuff
Her ancestors are shaking their heads in disappointment 😞
Tbh she just complain about cooking at all like unless it came completely cooked or food that just needed to be microwaved she is hardly a good person to review a meal service. I am glad I am not the only one that is not annoyed or disappointed in this video. A serious waste of what could of been a very good informative video.
I think this would be better with a home cook or a novice cook, not a person who cannot literally handle raw meat
True 😩
Can someone be really this incompetent in the kitchen? You just need common sense
Yo....if it costs that much....JUST DO IT ALL YOURSELF. People that use stuff like Blue Apron seem like they are lazy AF when it comes to shopping. They complain about not having extra cash but still use meal prep for a month lol. Doing it yourself can easily save you at least 50% GUARANTEED. And you can look up recipes online for FREE lol. Think people smh
I live in Los Angeles blue apron is actually cheaper than my groceries for a week. I spend like 120 a week, or like 15$ a meal blue apron saves me like 200 a month on groceries
Yes, obviously. Blue Apron is about convenience. Why walk to work when you can take a car?
I WANNA BE A hater .. BIG THUMBS DOWN 👎👎👎👎
Damn- were you watching so much Death Battle?
Blue Apron is a great resort if you're inviting someone over for dinner.
Blue Apron is so good
How much did you spend on take-out and eat-out food? I didn't realize you live in NYC till the very end. Blue Apron is definitely too expensive for its portion.
Gosh this comment section is extra spicy
(Though i would consider it normal for an amateur to take longer to complete a recipe, timing depends on alot of things)
Couldn't even put the potatoes in the pot. Get someone competent to do this challenge next time. "I ate nothing but blue apron for a week" should literally mean all meals and a full week. Not for only dinner and getting take out on day 3. Thumbs down!
