HelloFresh has set off to fight the blues on Blue Monday — "a day that is dubbed as the saddest day of the year" — by offering free wellness meals to GO Transit riders at select GO stations across the Greater Toronto Area. The initiative also works to showcase HelloFresh's high-quality and convenience-focused meals to a greater audience.
HelloFresh's free wellness meals draw inspiration from science, which tells us that there is a connection between brain chemistry and nutrition. Following this correlation, HelloFresh curates meals that include omega-3-rich fatty fish, antioxidant-packed vegetables, and more.
The full line up boasts Salmon and Gremolata Butter with Broccoli Puttanesca, Mediterranean Spiced Sweet Potato Wraps with Cilantro and Yogurt Sauce, and Rigatoni in Turkey Tomato Sauce with Roasted Peppers and Spinach.
