Outside of offering its subscription service through online channels, Blue Apron recently announced that it will be launching in-store meal kits—and this summer, foodies will be able to get their hands on Blue Apron x Chrissy meal kits as part of a collaboration with Chrissy Teigen.
The Blue Apron meal kits are set to feature original recipes crafted by Tiegen herself, including one recipe from Cravings 2, the celebrity's upcoming cookbook: Pork Banh Mi Sandwiches with Pickled Cucumbers & Carrots.
As part of the six-week Blue Apron x Chrissy partnership, fans and home cooks will be able to enjoy a range of recipes like Sesame Chicken Noodles with Bok Choy or Garlic & Soy-Glazed Shrimp with Charred Broccoli & Hot Green Pepper Sauce.
