If you cancel your whole-wheat bread, as an example, a few other bread options will pop up but you're not beholden to them in any way. Hungryroot makes suggestions for replacement items too. If you want something that exceeds your credit value, you can cancel other items to give yourself enough credits or go over and Hungryroot will charge your card on file for the amount.

Each food is assigned a credit value and once you delete an item from the cart, you'll be given those credits to spend on anything else including produce, snacks, meat, fish, dairy products and tons more. Questions are centered around your tastes and food preferences, but also to figure out your meal frequency and schedule.īefore you submit your week's order, you can easily swap items that don't appeal to you. Almost everything can also be used outside of the recipe if you decide you're not feeling that particular meal, so you won't be stuck with various packets of seasoning or small portions of a random sauce or other ingredient.

Hungryroot wants to get to know you first so it can tailor your box of suggested recipes and food items. It'll also find out which meals you're interested in receiving ingredients for - breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks or all four. The quiz asks about foods you like and don't like, along with any dietary restrictions (Hungryroot has a robust offering for plant-based eaters). To start, Hungryroot gathers a bunch of information on your eating habits and preferences to get the best food to your door. While services like Blue Apron and Sunbasket lock you into recipes with rather specific ingredients portioned for that particular meal, Hungryroot sends packaged goods often in the way you'd find them at a supermarket. Unlike traditional meal kits, Hungryroot tailors a delivery of groceries with simple recipe suggestions that can be created from them. Here's everything you need to know about Hungryroot.

If you're wondering how much more (or less) Hungryroot is versus shopping at the supermarket, don't worry because we've done the math for this one too.
