Exclusive senior discount makes mealtimes even easier
<p dir="ltr">When it comes to mealtimes, it's easy to fall into the routine of always having the same recipes on rotation. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Relying on the same things for dinner can become boring and repetitive very quickly, and sometimes it's difficult to know where to start to expand your cooking repertoire.</p>
<p dir="ltr">On top of this, getting to the grocery shops is getting harder for many Aussies, with the danger of Covid still rife. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Many Aussie seniors are turning to tech to make mealtimes easier, with 70% of Australians leaning on apps for a simpler kitchen experience. </p>
<p dir="ltr">According to a new study, 58% of Aussies are turning to the internet for new recipes and nearly a third (27%) are getting their cooking inspiration from online videos over traditional cookbooks.</p>
<p dir="ltr">On top of this, 60% of older Australians are wanting to become more adventurous in the kitchen, and want to spice up their meal routines. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Enter: HelloFresh. </p>
<p dir="ltr">HelloFresh is a subscription meal service that delivers fresh ingredients to create healthy, delicious dinners right to your door. </p>
<p dir="ltr">HelloFresh customers can choose between a range of meal plans to include up to five recipes a week for up to four people. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Users can choose their weekly meals online, with a huge range of options available to include vegetarian, family-friendly recipes, calorie smart meals and quick & easy options. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Meals get safely delivered right to your door with ease, with each meal’s ingredients packaged individually, and perfectly pre-portioned to exactly what you need to reduce food waste. </p>
<p dir="ltr">HelloFresh orders also come with a dedicated recipe card, showing how to create your delicious meals in an easy to follow guide. </p>
<p dir="ltr">When HelloFresh started offering <a href="https://www.hellofresh.com.au/meal-kits/senior-discounts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exclusive senior discounts</a> with guaranteed 10% off each box – saving Aussie seniors up to $600 off their yearly grocery bill – we leapt at the chance to try out the full service for a week. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Plus, even better, if you’re a new customer, you’ll also receive 40% off your first box and 30% off your second. </p>
<p dir="ltr">After trialling HelloFresh for one week, I can confidently say it is the quickest answer to mealtimes I have ever experienced.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I received my HelloFresh box in the mail and everything was packaged perfectly: individual meal kits (that were colour coordinated as well) so I knew which ingredients went with each dish, easy to follow recipe cards, pre-portioned ingredients and refrigerated bags to keep everything fresh in transit.</p>

<p dir="ltr">I selected five meals for two people, and was given a selection of delicious dishes that I had never thought to make before and was excited to try.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Monday’s dinner was the <strong>Easy Chorizo & Corn Ciabatta Melt with Pear Salad</strong>: a nice and easy meal to ease into the week. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The Italian-inspired meal was full of flavour, with the pear salad adding so much freshness. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The minimal effort dish has since made its way into our weekly rotation of dinners, with the hands-on time being less than 30 minutes and an instant weeknight favourite. </p>

<p dir="ltr">On Tuesday, I made the mouth-watering <strong>Haloumi & Tomato Relish Burger with Sweet Potato Wedges</strong>. </p>
<p dir="ltr">This irresistible burger was another super quick and easy weeknight dinner guaranteed to beat any takeaway burger cravings. </p>
<p dir="ltr">With minimal ingredients, it's astonishing how this relatively simple dinner could pack such a flavourful punch, but it was an instant winner in my house. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The vegetarian dish showcased a way of making burgers I had never thought of before, and I will definitely be making this dish again. </p>

<p dir="ltr">Wednesday was Mexican night, with <strong>Beef Enchiladas with Corn Salsa & Sour Cream</strong> on the menu. </p>
<p dir="ltr">This dish warranted a little bit of creative liberty, as I accidentally added the corn salsa inside the enchiladas rather than on top (sometimes it pays to stop and read the recipe card properly…)</p>
<p dir="ltr">Nevertheless, we carry on! These enchiladas were a delicious answer to a Mexican fiesta, with the option to add more spice always available with any HelloFresh meal.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This colourful and delicious dinner is a must-try for any lover of Mexican food, along with a recommendation from yours truly to slow down and read the recipe before you start.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Thursday’s dinner was the <strong>Quick Sweet Chilli-Lime Chicken with Sesame Konjac Noodles & Veggies</strong>. </p>
<p dir="ltr">This fresh and zingy meal was so quick and easy to make, with the fresh ingredients making a huge difference. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The Asian-inspired stir fry used delicious spices and flavours that I had never thought of using before, and will definitely be added into my next stir-fry.</p>

<p dir="ltr">We finished out the week strong on Friday with the <strong>Easy Honey Mustard Pork with Roast Pumpkin, Zucchini & Feta</strong>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Anything with the word “easy” in the title is something I want to be making on a Friday.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This flavourful comfort meal was homey and delicious, and you just can’t go wrong with a fresh twist on the classic meat and veggies dinner. </p>
