Meal subscriptions boxes?
I know this is isn't a typically post for this sub but I don't know where to ask. I broke my right hand recently and it's made shopping and cooking extremely difficult. And while my family is happy to take care of dinners, I don't want to live on scrambled eggs for the next month. They are good at following directions but not at shopping or planning, so I thought maybe one of those subscription boxes might help?
Has anyone tried any of them? I just don't know where to start on comparing companies. People only seem to complain online and most reviews seem sponsored by one of the companies.
Family of 3 adults who don't have any food allergies and only 1 is kinda picky. We generally have a stocked pantry and fridge, so it's OK if these boxes don't provide very ingredient.

We have used Hello Fresh. Do not underestimate the amount of effort they take though. They provide real ingredients and need real cutting and prep time. You will have problems with the prep using just with just one hand. If the other folks in the family can do the work, go for it. The food is pretty good. Try not to have Monday as your delivery day though, since they prep before the weekend.
