What is recipe customization?
Blue Apron Customized makes it easier to tailor meals to your tastes. With Blue Apron Customized, you can swap, add, or upgrade the ingredients in your box on both our Signature for 2 and Signature for 4 plans.
Swapping would allow you to exchange one ingredient for another, like changing out chicken for tofu or a starch for extra veggies. Adding would increase the portion of an ingredient. Upgrading would allow you to select a more premium ingredient, like exchanging bistro steaks for NY strips.
How many recipes can I customize?
Each week, our 2-serving Signature menu will feature six customizable recipes and our 4-serving Signature menu will feature three.
How do I customize a recipe?
For recipes with customizations available, select the ‘Choose Options’ button or click on the drop down menu for recipes that are already in your box. A popup will appear showing you your available options for the recipe and any associated costs. Please note that the first option presented will always be the default recipe. Once you make your selections, click ‘Add To My Box’ to save the changes.
How much will recipe customizations cost?
These changes to your recipes may add an additional cost per serving to your recipe, currently ranging from $0.95 per serving to $5.95 per serving.
How will I know how to adapt my recipe to the customization? / Why does my recipe card say “Customized Steps”?
The ‘Customized Step’ section of your recipe card will include the instructions for the customized ingredient. If you didn’t select a customization, you can skip this step and cook your recipe like normal.
Where can I find the correct NFP for my version of the recipe?
To find the correct NFP for your recipe, head to your Upcoming page or Delivery history to locate the recipe’s page. From there, click ‘More Info’ next to the calorie information to get the full Nutritional Facts Panel.
