I am a new widow, having lost my husband of 45 years. Initially I found it hard to put any energy into eating but I am a health professional and knew I could not continue down that path. Blue Apron offers me the opportunity to eat a healthy meal at least once a day. I appreciate that the boxes come with exactly what is needed to prepare the menu, there is no waste. Additionally, meal preparation is a time when my mind is occupied by simple productive tasks with a positive endpoint, a delicious dinner.
