How it Works
-
Yes! Feel free to explore our upcoming menus here before you begin signing up. On this page you’ll see the next few weeks of menus broken down by plan, including our add on options, which can be added to any plan.

The name Blue Apron is an homage to chefs around the world who wear blue aprons while learning to cook. Today, the blue apron is a symbol of lifelong learning within the culinary field, so our hope is that our name inspires others to discover new elements of preparing and cooking food!
-
Blue Apron is a fresh ingredient and recipe delivery service that helps customers of all cooking levels prepare incredible meals at home. We take care of the menu planning and shopping, so all you have to do is cook and enjoy.
You can manage each delivery to suit your needs by selecting recipes you’re interested in across all of our menus, skipping weeks you don’t need, or even ordering an extra box for when you want an additional delivery or would like to send an order to a friend or loved one.
Each week, our Culinary team creates new, seasonally inspired menus for you to browse and select from. Our 2-Serving menu includes recipes perfectly portioned for two people, while our 4-Serving menu has recipes designed for four people. Our Prepared & Ready menu features 20+ weekly options of never frozen, microwave-ready meals in your choice of 1, 2, 3, or 4 serving sizes. And lastly, our Add-Ons menu features appetizers, breakfasts, sides, desserts, and extra proteins that are available to enhance our recipes or create something all your own.
While your order will default to the number of recipes and servings in your Plan Settings, feel free to choose options from any of our menus to fill your order. Want a box of Add-Ons only? You got it. Want a mixture of 2 and 4-Serving recipes? Add to cart! The only requirement is a $45 order minimum. Otherwise, you can choose as many available options as you’d like!

Microwave Oven Instructions:
Remove the container’s outer packaging. Using a fork or knife, pierce the film 3 to 5 times with spacing in between to allow even ventilation. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes. Remove the tray from the microwave, remove the film, stir, and let stand 1 minute before enjoying.
Conventional Oven Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Remove the container’s outer packaging. Using a fork or knife, pierce the film 3 to 5 times with spacing in between to allow even ventilation. Place ventilated meal on a sheet pan. Bake 15 to 18 minutes, or until heated through. Remove the tray from the oven (carefully, as the tray will be hot), remove the film, stir, and let stand 1 minute before serving.
You can always refer to the outer packaging for specific instructions.

Prepared & Ready is our fresh take on pre-made meals, giving you ultimate convenience as well as chef-crafted quality and variety. These non-frozen meals let you enjoy signature Blue Apron flavors and ingredients without the prep, in addition to providing more seasonally inspired produce. Meats are prepared sous vide, a classic French culinary technique that locks in flavor and freshness by cooking meat under pressure at a low temperature for a tender and juicy result.
Prepared & Ready also offers more weekly choices and a wider variety, making it easier to find delicious and convenient meals that fit your lifestyle. Choose from 20+ meals each week, with more to come! Options include dietician-approved meals such as Carb Conscious, 30g of Protein, Mediterranean, Wheat Free, Breakfast, Vegan, and 600 Calories or Less.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Blue Apron is committed to the humane treatment of animals raised for consumption and providing our customers with quality ingredients that they can feel good about. We are proud of our industry-leading animal welfare policy. You can learn more about it by visiting our blog.
-
To ensure optimal freshness, we advise you unpack your ingredients into your fridge as soon as possible once they arrive. For information on how to store and handle ingredients, follow this link to learn more.
We’re committed to our Freshness Guarantee. We recommend making any Meal Kit recipes within 7 days of receiving your delivery and any Prepared & Ready by the ‘use-by’ date printed on the packaging. If you’re unsatisfied with the quality of one or more of your ingredients within these time frames, please let us know and we’ll be happy to make it right.
-
The farmers and ranchers whose products we use in our meal kits raise animals with care and respect and never use any sub-therapeutic antibiotics. Blue Apron requires that all of the meat, poultry and egg suppliers promptly treat animals in the rare event that they become sick and their welfare requires it.
Additionally, none of the suppliers use any growth promoters, such as added hormones*, sub-therapeutic antibiotics, or beta-agonists.
*Federal law prohibits the use of added hormones in poultry and pork.
-
Most of the dairy products used in each of our recipes are made with pasteurized milk or cream.
However, cheese may be made with raw or pasteurized milk. All of our cheeses are 100% rBST free (no significant difference has been shown between milk from rBST-treated and untreated cows), and most are made with pasteurized milk or cream. Certain specialty cheese, like Grana Padano, is subject to specific requirements under EU law and must be made with raw milk and aged for a minimum of 60 days in accordance with US regulations. All of the cheeses meet FDA guidelines for food safety.
The eggs included in our boxes are not pasteurized. These eggs are from pasture-raised hens cared for by Vital Farms. Vital Farms eggs meet the Certified Humane® standards defined by Humane Farm Animal Care, a non-profit organization for animal welfare.
As required by the USDA, all eggs are washed prior to shipment. We always recommend following the provided recipe instructions for preparing your eggs to maintain the highest levels of food safety.
The eggs included in our mayonnaise, however, are pasteurized to ensure that the ingredient is safe to consume raw. As always, we recommend refrigerating your ingredients immediately after unpacking your box.
-
Some of our ingredients are USDA-certified organic. We’re committed to sending quality ingredients in every delivery and supporting farmers who use sustainable farming practices.
-
We take pride in strict sourcing standards for all ingredients and work with a trusted network of farmers, ranchers, fisheries, and specialty suppliers both domestically and internationally so that our customers can prepare our globally-inspired, chef-curated recipes each week.
We prioritize sending you sustainably sourced seafood as best we can, meaning it’s either wild-caught or farmed in ways that support the long-term health and abundance of the ocean.
We also believe in transparency and giving our customers the opportunity to learn more about where their food comes from, and have joined The Ocean Disclosure Project, where anyone can view the country of origin, catch or production method, and sustainability rating of our seafood. Please visit Blue Apron’s Ocean Disclosure Project page to learn more.
