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.

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.

A recipe with this badge features non-starchy, fibrous vegetables with a limit on calories, total carbohydrates, saturated fat, added sugar and sodium.

From the Test Kitchen

For this vibrant stovetop dish, we’re nestling rich eggs between a mix of chayote squash, shishito peppers, and onion—all simmered in our robust tomato sauce spiced with fiery chipotle paste. It’s perfectly balanced by toppings of crispy tortilla strips and cooling fromage blanc.

Prepare the ingredients:
1 Prepare the ingredients:

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the squash lengthwise. If present, remove the pit, then medium dice the squash. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Evenly stack the tortillas; cut in half, then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers, then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Thoroughly wash your hands immediately after handling.

Start the skillet:
2 Start the skillet:

In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the pepper pieces in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the diced squash, sliced onion, and chopped garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes, or until softened. Add up to half the chile paste, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be (you will have extra). Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until thoroughly combined. Add the tomatoes (carefully, as the liquid may splatter) and 1/2 cup of water; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. 

Make the crispy tortilla strips:
3 Make the crispy tortilla strips:

Meanwhile, place the tortilla strips on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Toast 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly browned and crispy. Remove from the oven.

Finish the skillet & serve your dish:
4 Finish the skillet & serve your dish:

Using a spoon, create 2 shallow wells in the center of the skillet. Carefully crack an egg into each well; season with salt and pepper. Loosely cover the pan with foil and cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired degree of doneness. Turn off the heat. Serve the finished skillet topped with the fromage blanc and crispy tortilla strips. Enjoy!
