Historically built around rigid subscriptions and fixed meal plans, the meal kit space has long treated customers as two or four-person households with set, predictable needs. Blue Apron is breaking the mold – introducing a modern, à la carte approach that lets customers shop what they want, when they want, with no commitment required.</p>             <p>&#34;The new Blue Apron is all about meeting customers where they are – with more flexibility, more convenience, and fewer barriers,&#34; said <span>Whitney Pegden</span>, Senior Vice President &amp; General Manager of Blue Apron at Wonder. &#34;We know families are juggling a lot, especially during the dinnertime rush <span>between 5 and 8 p.m.</span> They need options that are fast, nutritious, and still feel special. That's exactly what we've built – meals ready in as little as five minutes, no subscription required.&#34;</p>             <p>Blue Apron now offers more than 100 meals each week – more than double its previous assortment – with 75% of the menu featuring options for customization. Customers can mix and match across three product categories:</p><ul type="disc">   <li><b>Dish by Blue Apron (NEW): </b>Pre-made meals made with high-quality ingredients and designed to meet clear nutrition standards – including at least 20g of protein, a good source of fiber, and no artificial flavors or colors. With 40 rotating options, Dish meals are ready in as little as five minutes with zero prep or cleanup.</li>   <li><b>Assemble &amp; Bake (NEW): </b>One-pan, family-friendly meals featuring pre-chopped and prepared ingredients that require just five minutes or less of hands-on time. Designed for busy nights, these flavorful dishes deliver variety and comfort with minimal effort – including 15 rotating weekly options and 10 always-available favorites.</li>   <li><b>Meal Kits: </b>Blue Apron's signature offering, now faster and more flexible than ever. Recipes range from quick weeknight dinners to elevated culinary experiences, crafted with premium ingredients and designed for all skill levels.</li>  </ul><p>&#34;With this relaunch, we're introducing two new product lines focused on convenience,&#34; said <span>John Adler</span>, Senior Vice President of Product Innovation at Blue Apron. &#34;With Dish by Blue Apron, we developed a new standard for pre-made meals – ready in five minutes, full of flavor, and made with ingredients you can feel good about. And with Assemble &amp; Bake, we're giving busy households something they've never had before: a five-minute prep, hands-off dinner that still delivers a home-cooked feel. These aren't tweaks, they're entirely new ways to help people get a great meal on the table, no matter what their day looks like.&#34;</p><p>For the first time, Blue Apron is also introducing a permanent menu of its most-loved, top-rated meals, giving customers the ability to rely on favorites week after week.</p><p>With this relaunch, Blue Apron now delivers in as little as three days for most ZIP codes nationwide, making it easier to plan last-minute meals or adjust based on the week's schedule.
