The new-ish Blue Apron 15 minute meals have been game changers for us! Here’s a featured recipe of a Harissa Chickpea Grain Bowl and the latest info on Blue Apron’s offerings. This post is sponsored by Blue Apron.
Why we love Blue Apron
We’ve been Blue Apron subscribers for several years now – going back to the pandemic days when we had a toddler and needed the convenience of recipes and ingredients delivered to our doorstep. I can vouch that Blue Apron has gotten better and better with time! What started more as a learn-to-cook / date-night-in concept has morphed into a “help me get a freshly cooked meal on the table as fast as possible!” While Blue Apron does have their Prepared & Ready line for people who truly need to heat and eat, we love that the majority of the recipes offered each week still let us do the cooking. We can tweak and customize, and maximize the taste when cooking from scratch.

Blue Apron 15 Minute Meals
The new-ish Blue Apron 15 Minute Meals they have added are truly game changers for our meal plan. Ingredients come partially or all-the-way cooked so that you just prep the fresh portion of the recipe and dinner is ready SO FAST. I’ve been planning on one or two 15 minute meals into our meal plans and adding a third longer recipe (usually salmon!) that we cook on a weekend night. Here is a recent recipe we made:
Harissa Chickpea Grain Bowls
Spotlight ingredient: Pre-Cooked Farro
In this recipe, the farro was pre-cooked, so all we had to do was heat it in the microwave and season it with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Harissa Chickpeas
The chickpeas got a harissa paste and lemon juice coat and were lightly fried in a sauté pan.
Garlic-Tahini-Maple Dressing
Meanwhile, I prepped the salad dressing which was made with a garlic-tahini sauce, maple syrup, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.
Fresh ingredients
Finally I assembled the bowls with fresh arugula, sliced apple, goat cheese, and pre-roasted sunflower seeds.
Leftovers!
Whatever you don’t eat today, save for tomorrow! These bowls were perfect for a light Monday night dinner, and we had the leftovers for lunch the next day. Heartier appetites could also add chicken or fish as an extra topper.
