Green Chef is the meal kit for diet-specific and organic cooking. It says it is the only meal kit that delivers fresh organic produce and proteins at no extra cost, and its recipes avoid 100+ banned ingredients. Menus cover Mediterranean, Plant Based, Gluten-Free, High Protein, Calorie Smart at 650 calories or less, Carb Smart, Functional Nutrition and Quick & Easy. Green Chef lists 15+ new weekly recipes, many ready in under 25 minutes, and a 100% customizable menu where you can swap or double proteins, carbs and vegetables. A free one-on-one nutrition coaching service with a registered dietitian is included. You can pause or cancel anytime. The weekly menu is smaller than HelloFresh's, and Green Chef only shows prices after you enter a US ZIP code. We could not load a US price from our location, so the price is pending.
