Starting the New Year with healthier eating habits is easier when dinner doesn’t feel like a chore, and meal kits can make it much easier to stick with. HelloFresh is our favorite family-friendly option with a variety of recipes and affordable pricing.
Right now, new subscribers can score 10 free meals plus a free Zwilling chef’s knife worth $145, with the code CNETZWILLING. You pay per serving, which usually works out to about $9 per serving for two people. The free meals are spread across your boxes, and the chef’s knife is unlocked after your third paid box, delivered via a redeemable link.
This offer is limited and available only to new customers with an auto-renewing subscription, and quantities of the Zwilling knife are finite, so timing matters if you want the full perks. And higher-priced plans unlock more than 10 free meals, while the smaller plans receive fewer, making it easy to scale for your household.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
We like HelloFresh for its variety and flexibility. Weekly menus offer dozens of options including low-calorie, keto and vegetarian means, with easy-to-follow recipes and generous portions that even beginner cooks can handle confidently.
