600 Calories Or Less
All of these delicious recipes come in at 600 calories or less per serving, ideal for those who choose to monitor their caloric intake, without sacrificing flavor. The US Food & Drug Administration recommends a 2000 calorie daily intake for the general population. The 600 calorie cap equates to 30% of total 2000 calories per day based on 3 meals per day with 200 calories remaining for snack or beverage.
Carb Conscious
Our Carb Conscious recipes provide a balanced approach to carbohydrate consumption by replacing refined carbohydrates from sources like white flour, rice, and cane sugar with high-fiber foods like fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Our Carb Conscious recipes have 42g or less of net carbohydrates (total carbohydrates minus dietary fiber) per serving, a 25% reduction in net carbs compared to the average Blue Apron recipe served in 2019. Due to the natural variation in size of and contribution of produce in our recipes, some recipes can be badged as Carb Conscious at 45g or less net carbs per serving.
Mediterranean Diet
Our Mediterranean recipes are inspired by the Mediterranean Diet, a healthy eating plan recommended in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans published jointly every five years by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS). This eating plan highlights the flavors and cooking styles from countries along the Mediterranean Sea, including those in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. These recipes showcase a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, as well as lean proteins and moderate portions of dairy.
Plant-Forward
Our Plant-Forward recipes are designed by our chefs to help support a flexible diet that emphasizes plant-based foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and other legumes like lentils and soy foods, and includes occasional, moderate portions of meat, poultry, fish, and seafood.

In this comforting dish, pork chops are seared with a coating of Southern-style spices (like paprika and cayenne), then topped with a drizzle of rich mayo mixed with hot sauce and honey. We’re pairing it with two classic sides: a quick-braised duo of sweet apple and hearty kale, and homemade, pan-fried cornbread cakes.

instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce
Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Grate the apple on the large side of a box grater, discarding the core. Separate the kale leaves from the stems; discard the stems, then roughly chop the leaves. Combine the grated apple and chopped kale. In a bowl, whisk together the hot sauce, mayonnaise, honey (kneading the packet before opening), and a pinch of the spice blend. Season with salt and pepper.
2
Braise the apple & kale
In a medium pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the prepared apple and kale; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the kale is slightly wilted. Add the vinegar and 1/2 cup of water. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 7 to 9 minutes, or until the kale is wilted and the water has cooked off. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover to keep warm.
3
Make the batter
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the cornbread mix, eggs, and buttermilk. Season with pepper. Whisk to thoroughly combine.
4
Cook the pork
Pat the pork dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt, pepper, and the remaining spice blend. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned pork. Cook 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.* Transfer to a cutting board; loosely cover with foil and let rest at least 5 minutes. Rinse and wipe out the pan.
*An instant-read thermometer should register 145°F.
5
Cook the corn cakes & serve your dish
In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Working in two batches, scoop or pour the batter into the pan to make 4 equal-sized pancakes, keeping them separate. Cook 1 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (if the pan seems dry, add a drizzle of olive oil between batches). Transfer to a plate. Slice the rested pork crosswise. Serve the sliced pork with the cooked corn cakes and braised apple and kale. Top the pork with the sauce. Enjoy!
