In my quest to go lower carb, I decided that while Blue Apron was great during the pandemic since it greatly minimized my need to go to the grocery store, most of their meals were carb intensive. I decided to check out Green Chef after getting a coupon from my monthly wine delivery through Winc. They offer Keto and Carb Conscious options, along with Vegetarian and Balanced meals that are similar to Blue Apron.
I was impressed with the quality of the meat, fish and produce and how fresh it stays in the paper bags each meal comes in. Their packaging is also more eco friendly than Blue Apron since it’s all recyclable. But it does come with a higher price of $80 for 3 meals for 2 people (regular price but there is a $40 off promo for first timers on their website), compared to Blue Apron which is $60 for the same meal plan. They don’t have an app either so you have to log into their site each time you want to make a change, but you can skip or cancel at anytime.
I have enjoyed quite a few delicious Green Chef meals over the last few weeks, which came in quite handy with moving, but once the promo runs out I will cancel until I get another one. It has given me a lot of great ideas for kale and collard greens though, which I normally wouldn’t buy but will be making these leafy greens a weekly staple going forward. They are a great source of fiber and antioxidants. Here are a few of my favorites:
