HelloFresh Brightens Blue Monday with Free Wellness Meals

On January 20th, HelloFresh will be handing out free meals to GO Transit riders on their commute home

TORONTO, Jan. 20, 2025 /CNW/ – HelloFresh is on a mission to rewrite the narrative of Blue Monday, a day that is dubbed as the saddest day of the year. On January 20th, GO Transit riders at select GO stations across the GTA will be greeted on their commute home by HelloFresh representatives who will be sharing a selection of balanced meals showcasing how fresh, high-quality ingredients can impact overall wellness. Say goodbye to the winter blues and hello to brighter days with HelloFresh’s inspiring wellness recipes packed with fresh ingredients.

“We know January can be a daunting month, but at HelloFresh, we’re more than a meal kit, we’re your partner in winter wellness. Whether you’re cooking to feel great, stay balanced, or simply enjoy a wholesome dinner, HelloFresh has you covered,” says James Griesser, Senior Manager of Recipe Development at HelloFresh.

Science tells us that what we eat can profoundly impact how we feel, thanks to the connection between brain chemistry and nutrition. From omega-3-rich fatty fish to antioxidant-packed vegetables, certain foods can help banish the winter blues and support overall well-being.

“With the winter blues knocking on our door, it’s more important than ever to pay attention to what you’re eating,” says Canadian nutritionist, Miranda Galati. “Studies show that high-quality diets are linked to feel-good hormones that support energy and mood.”

Commuters will get to bring home one of the select HelloFresh meals from our Wellness menu including:
