3rd Gobble Meal Kit Subscription Box Review

Croque Madame

Ingredients

Gobble is one of my least favorite meal kit services, but they offered me a discount to come back so I decided to give it another try. It wasn't a good idea, we weren't pleased with the recipes. Opening the box and seeing a copy of a recipe printed on regular paper instead of cardstock was the first annoyance. The other three recipes were on cardstock. 

The above recipe has 830 calories and it took 25 minutes to prepare. Because the Bechamel Sauce was stored at the top of the box far from the ice packs it arrived spoiled. Since the sauce is such an important part of this recipe it didn't taste anything like it was supposed to. I only ate a couple of bites it was that bad. We gave it one out of five stars. On to the next recipe, check it out below.

Miso Baked Salmon with Asian Stir-Fry Vegetables

Ingredients

The above recipe was ok though not very exciting. It has 880 calories and it took 35 minutes to prepare. I wasn't crazy about the vegetables though the salmon and its sauce were tasty. I was shocked that the rice was pre-cooked and I found it unappetizing. I don't care for precooked rice! I didn't like that the scallions, garlic, and ginger were precut and mixed together. While it saves time, I prefer fresher ingredients. I'm willing to put in a few more minutes of prep time for tastier results. We gave this recipe three out of five stars.

Crispy Coconut Hawaiian Fish Tacos

Ingredients

The above recipe has 910 calories and it took 45 minutes to prepare. I didn't care for the flavor of pineapple with the fish. I wish they had sent us eggs in their shells rather than in a bottle. The panko on the Barramundi was tasty. We gave this recipe three out of five stars.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

No preparation is required for the above recipe since they sent the cookie dough premade. Simply place them in the oven set to 325 degrees for 12-14 minutes. Though I found it took several minutes longer. The card says to not thaw prior to cooking, but it was already thawed when it arrived. These were so bland I ate a few bites and threw away the rest.

I complained to Gobble about the sauce and they didn't give me a refund or store credit so I canceled the subscription. This was their last chance, I won't be giving them another try. My current favorite meal kit service is Hello Fresh. I highly recommend you give them a try. The ingredients arrive fresh, nothing is missing and the recipes lately have been four & five out of five stars. Snag a coupon below and give them a try today.
