But the version of Blue Apron you&#8217;ll order from today isn&#8217;t the same one your coworker tried back in 2015. They&#8217;ve leaned hard into flexibility &#8211; no subscription needed, so you can order what you want without committing to weekly deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That alone is a big deal if you&#8217;ve ever been burned by a meal kit you forgot to skip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Three ways to get dinner on the table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever your week looks like, there&#8217;s a format that fits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meal Kits<\/strong> &#8211; the original. Chef-designed recipes with pre-portioned ingredients, designed to help you get creative in the kitchen without spending hours there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Assemble &amp; Bake<\/strong> &#8211; one-pan meals with minimal prep and cleanup, with pre-prepped ingredients and 5 minutes or less of active time. Genuinely great for nights when you want a real meal but can&#8217;t summon the energy to dice an onion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dish by Blue Apron<\/strong> &#8211; their newer ready-to-eat line. Pre-made meals with at least 20 grams of protein, no artificial colors or flavors, ready in as little as 5 minutes. Microwave-and-eat, but actually good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/karmanow.com\/ref\/capture?linked_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.blueapron.com%252F&amp;rule_id=12735&amp;shop=Blue+Apron&amp;source=Newsletter\">EXPLORE OPTIONS ><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quality you can taste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s stayed constant across every format is the standard. Seasonally inspired produce and unique ingredients from suppliers who share their values, with over 100 weekly meals to choose from &#8211; including carb-conscious and vegetarian options. The recipes are designed by chefs but built for real home cooks, with restaurant-quality results as the goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And customers notice. One reviewer summed it up: &#8220;I got home from work, changed, cooked this meal, we ate it and cleaned up all in under 45 minutes.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Claim your $15 off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Two orders, $15 off each  &#8211; that&#8217;s $30 in savings to figure out which Blue Apron format is your Blue Apron format. <a href=\"https:\/\/karmanow.com\/ref\/capture?linked_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.blueapron.com%252F&amp;rule_id=12735&amp;shop=Blue+Apron&amp;source=Newsletter\"><strong>Use code KARMA15<\/strong> at checkout<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you want to actually cook this week or just want something good to land at your door, this is a low-risk way to find out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With no subscription required, three flexible formats from chef-designed kits to 5-minute ready-to-eat meals, and $15 off your first 2 orders with code KARMA15, it&#8217;s the easiest time to give it a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":48048,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Get $15 off your first 2 Blue Apron orders with code KARMA15.
