As mentioned before, Woop offers 5 different plans, with frequencies of 3 or 4 times per week and suitable to feed 1, 2 or 4 people. Not all plans are available for all these combinations, below we have listed the plans available, for how many people and on which frequency.
The plans offered by Woop are:

• Classic Box - family friendly recipes to suit most tastes
• Foodie Box - vibrant recipes inspired from around the world. This is the only plan that allows you to select recipes (from six possibilities)
• Balance Box - healthy balanced recipes
• Vegetarian Box - vegetarian recipes
• Gluten-Free Box - combination of recipes from the above plans, adjusted to use gluten-free ingredients.

​The Foodie, Balance and Vegetarian Plans are available in all combinations:

​The Classic plan is not available for fewer than 4 people, as shown below:

​The gluten-free box is available for 1, 2 and 4 people but only with 3 recipes per box:

Woop is available in the following areas: Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, Tauranga, Palmerston North, Napier & Hastings and Rotorua.
Check out Woop’s upcoming menus here.

​Inside the box you will find the ingredients for the week’s meals, all items (except the vegetables) are colour-coded so you can easily identify what ingredients belong in each recipe. There are ice-packs mixed in with the various ingredients, meaning that the items that need to be kept refrigerated are not in a separate section like in other meal kits. You will also receive the recipe cards for the week, these contain:

• A bit of insight behind the recipe’s inspiration
  
• Nutritional details (energy in kilojoules, protein, carbohydrates and fat content)
  
• The list of ingredients necessary for the recipe
  
• Step by step instructions for cooking each meal
  
• An indication of whether you should cook the meal earlier than others
  

We carried out an investigation of the various plans on offered by Woop, choosing a different plan to feed 4 people each week. Our aim was to evaluate the recipes based on the estimated cooking time, the number of utensils/ equipment required, and whether or not it would be easy to repeat the meal if you were to source all the ingredients yourself (expecting that if you were to repeat them, they wouldn’t necessarily be on the same level of quality as the Woop sauces are especially made instead of mass-produced). Since taste is subjective, we didn’t aim to rate the recipes based on this criterion.
​
In this section you will find photos summarising the cooking process from start to finish, starting with the ingredients as provided by Woop, the oven trays and frying pans required to cook the meal, and the finished meal served in individual plates so you can have an idea of the portion sizes. 

​We first evaluated 3 recipes from the vegetarian plan. Averaging the information from the recipe cards, the expected cooking time was 25 minutes and 725 calories per meal and we considered 33% of them would be easy to replicate by sourcing the ingredients independently. Full details can be found below.   

We then evaluated the Balance plan. According to the recipe cards, the average cooking time is 22 minutes and 565 calories per meal, and we considered 66% of them would be easy to replicate by sourcing the ingredients independently.  Full details can be found below.  

​From the three meals we evaluated for the classic plan, as per the recipe cards they averaged 614 calories per meal and 25 minutes to cook, and in our opinion all of them would be easy to replicate by sourcing the ingredients independently.  Full details can be found below. 

Finally we tried the “foodie” plan, the meals we tried averaged 713 calories per meal and  an estimated 20 minutes to cook, we considered 66% of them would be easy to replicate by sourcing the ingredients independently.  Full details can be found below.
