Green Chef review

Green Chef is the kit to choose when a specific diet drives the decision. It runs dedicated menus for Keto, Protein Packed, Gluten-Free, Vegan, Veggie, Mediterranean and Calorie Smart, where recipes come in at 650 calories or less, plus a Gut, Brain & Health menu. Green Chef uses organic whole fruits, vegetables and eggs, publishes a prohibited ingredients list, and shows FDA nutrition information for every recipe. Quick & Easy meals take 25 minutes or less, and the Green Market adds 10-minute lunches, snacks and breakfasts. It also offers free nutrition coaching. Green Chef generally costs more than HelloFresh, which owns it, and its plans page needs a ZIP code before it shows prices, so our USD check is pending. If you eat everything, HelloFresh offers more recipes for less.
