Developed by Blue Apron’s culinary and nutrition experts, along with former White House Senior Nutrition Policy Advisor and Chef Sam Kass, the Blue Apron Pass the Love boxes are inspired by episodes of the popular Netflix show, Waffles + Mochi. Each box includes three, kid-friendly recipes designed to get the whole family cooking together.

“Cooking meals with loved ones is not only a fun way to spend time, research shows it can actually improve your family’s diet,” said former First Lady and PHA Honorary Chair Michelle Obama. “That’s why I’m so thrilled to see Blue Apron stepping up to create meal kits that are both affordable and easy to use—whether you’re a mom, dad, grandparent, or a kid. The private sector plays a critical role in supporting parents and helping children build healthy habits as they relate to food, and it’s encouraging to see everything Blue Apron is doing for our Pass the Love campaign. With their help, we’ll be able to highlight the benefits of a home-cooked, nutritious meal—and get one step closer to building a healthier country for all our kids.”

The recipes featured in the Pass the Love boxes were created with the goal of removing barriers to home cooking, from accessibility to ingredients, to basic cooking techniques. Each box also comes with a kids activity book that helps bring children one step closer to the world of Waffles + Mochi. The book is intended to make the cooking experience more interactive and less intimidating, including games inspired by the show, tips and tricks, ingredient substitutions, and nutrition education.

“Cooking at home can be a sustainable and affordable way to support a healthy lifestyle, however, we know that, at times, creating a meal at home can be overwhelming for busy parents,” said Linda Findley Kozlowski, President and Chief Executive Officer of Blue Apron. “The delicious and easy-to-replicate recipes included in the Blue Apron Pass the Love boxes were created to empower families to come together over a good meal and share lifelong skills in the kitchen.”

Available to order for a limited-time with no subscription starting today, the Pass the Love boxes are Blue Apron’s most affordable meal kits to date. Each box includes three meals that will serve four people per meal, at $6 per serving. The boxes will be delivered the weeks of August 16, August 23, and August 30.

"Blue Apron's willingness to bring amazing food to families at price points that compete with fast food is groundbreaking," said Nancy E. Roman, President and CEO of Partnership for a Healthier America. "If we want to approach food equity, we have to have delicious and convenient good food options that compete with fast food in price. Meal kits offer huge potential and Blue Apron, with the Pass the Love boxes, is just the right company to take this on."
