Recipes
-
Blue Apron meals deliveries contain all the seasonal produce and specialty ingredients you need to create unique, flavorful meals for the week. In each box, we’ll send detailed recipe cards with step-by-step instructions to make meals easy and delicious. Just bring salt, pepper, olive oil and an appetite!
Each ingredient in your delivery is carefully packaged, ensuring that your delivery arrives ready to enjoy.
-
All of our ingredients are packaged in a facility that also processes milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, wheat, and soy. Because of this, we don’t recommend ordering Blue Apron if you have a severe food allergy.
We also provide allergen information on our nutrition labels for each recipe, which are available online up to 1.5 weeks in advance. We also recommend checking the ingredient labels in your box for the most up-to-date allergen information, as ingredients may occasionally need to be replaced with an alternative to ensure quality and on-time delivery.
-
We always want to help our chefs make informed decisions when cooking with us, so we provide nutrition information for each recipe up to 1.5 weeks in advance. The labels include the recipe’s ingredient list, nutrient breakdown, daily values, and allergen information.
Because every chef’s style of cooking differs, the caloric values of prepared meals may vary slightly depending on any added ingredients (such as olive oil) used in the process.
-
We’re happy to offer at least 3 vegetarian recipes every week on our Signature for 2 meal plan, and 2 vegetarian recipes on our Signature for 4 meal plan.
If you currently have a Blue Apron account, you can head over to the ‘Dietary Selections’ section of your Account Settings and check the ‘We’re Vegetarian’ box. We’ll automatically default you to a selection of vegetarian recipes each week, but you’ll still be able to customize your menu. Please note, we’re unable to accommodate individual food allergies.
-
We always want our chefs to have a variety of choices each week regardless of dietary preferences, so we provide at least three vegetarian recipe options on our weekly Signature Plan for 2 menu. Blue Apron vegetarian recipes are made with fruits and vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds and are created with or without dairy products,* honey, and/or eggs for you to enjoy as part of your vegetarian preference.
*Select artisanal cheeses may contain animal-derived rennet.
-
Blue Apron Premium Recipes are recipes that introduce home cooks to specialty protein combinations, advanced culinary techniques, and unique flavor twists. These recipes deliver the experience customers know and love from Blue Apron, with an added emphasis on teaching home cooks how to create more elaborate meals.
Each week, one Premium recipe will be featured on both our Signature for 2 and Signature for 4 menus. Pricing for Blue Apron Premium meals will vary between $14.99 and $19.99 per serving on our Two-Serving menu and between $13.99 and $19.99 per serving on our Four-Serving menu, depending on the recipe.

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 it uses 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 the cheese we source meets FDA guidelines for food safety.
-
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 seek to source fish and seafood rated either ‘Best Choice’ or ‘Good Alternative’ by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch at the time of its onboarding or that have recognized sustainability certifications (e.g. Marine Stewardship Council, Aquaculture Stewardship Council, Best Aquaculture Practices). In some instances, we will consider smaller fisheries that are involved in fishery improvement projects (FIPs).
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.
