As many as 76% of parents admit to being in a daily dinner rut, relying on the same meals, week in, week out - with 35% regularly struggling to think of new things to cook.
Over half (51%) of the parents polled are dreading getting back to the weekly routine of cooking dinner every night, now children are back at school.
Mimi Morley, senior recipe development manager at HelloFresh, said: “We know parents are juggling a lot, especially during the Back-to-School period. Family mealtimes are an important moment for connection, but that can be even more challenging at this busy period. Our brand new Back-to-School recipe range takes the ‘mental load’ out meal planning and prep for parents.”
