I’ve tried Hungryroot’s online grocery service a couple of times now. Each time I expect it to be a game changer, and each time it’s…just okay. Here’s what I’ve liked and disliked about it:
The great
- Remembers my food preferences and suggests recipes that match!
- Gives me access to healthy products I wouldn’t otherwise find locally.
- Most recipes take 15-20 minutes to cook, and are fairly easy and flexible.
- I don’t have to think about what’s for dinner.
The not-so-great
- The way things are packed. Reddit is full of complaints about this, and it’s happened to me too. Getting a box of food delivered should be relaxing, but instead it adds the stress of: what’s broken and oozing all over everything this time?
- While convenient, the recipes and ingredients are just eh. Nothing has wowed me so far.
- Some of the recipes are missing carbs.
- Browsing Hungryroot can sometimes feel like an AI is suggesting random food combinations to humans.
So, the search for the best way to grocery shop and meal prep continues. I just want simplified but delicious choices, allergy sensitivity, convenience, recipe suggestions, and leakproof packaging. Is that so much to ask?
