Green Chef has become one of my all-time favorite meal kit subscriptions. It's one of the few brands I can count on to always supply me with thoughtfully crafted, delicious recipes and they offer something for everyone in my household. While there are endless reasons to love Green Chef, there are 5 reasons, in particular, I've chosen this meal kit subscription time and time again.
1. Organic Meals are the Norm, Not the Exception
When searching for a meal kit subscription service, I searched far and wide for one that uses organic ingredients as much as possible. I noticed that many of today's most popular brands completely miss the mark when it comes to offering a good selection of organic meals - but not Green Chef.
Green Chef is the first CCOF-Certified Organic Meal Kit Company which means organic food is their priority. I can always count on having access to produce, eggs, and protein sources that are extremely clean and ethically sourced.
In the rare instance that Green Chef can't source a specific ingredient according to its strict quality standards, they clearly let you know through labeling and in-box communications.
2. There's Something for Everyone
Another problem I've run into with other meal kit subscriptions is their selection of meals is too generalized. Sure, most brands have family-friendly meals and calorie-smart options, but what about meal plans for people with more specific dietary needs?
For instance, some subscribers don't just need carb-conscious meals or plant-based meals - they need meals that are strictly keto or vegan. This is an area that Green Chef crushes its competition in. They go the extra mile to ensure there's something on their menu for everyone and offer meal plans that are tailored to keto, vegan, vegetarian, Mediterranean, and gluten-free diets.
3. Meal Kits are Available for Every Schedule
I like to have a bit of flexibility with the meal kit subscription service I use. Sure, some nights I love taking the time to whip up a meal from scratch. But other days, I can't get more than a few minutes to myself which means I need meals that are extremely easy to make.
Green Chef offers meal kits for all sorts of schedules. In fact, many of their meal kits take 30 minutes or less to make. So, if I find myself wanting to cook still, but have a bit of a time crunch, there are several meals I can prepare in 10 minutes or less.
4. Ready-to-Heat Meals are Super Convenient
Like I said above, some days are busier than others. But, what about the days when there's practically no time available to cook?
On the days when I just can't pull a meal together, Green Chef has me covered. Sometimes, I need meals that I can pull out of the fridge and eat as is, or zap in the microwave for a minute or two. Green Chef comes to the rescue with add-on options for even the busiest days like banana nut muffins and smoky bacon & cheddar egg bites.
5. Packaging Materials are Eco-Friendly
One of the biggest drawbacks to using a meal kit subscription is the amount of waste some services create. While it's impossible to completely avoid creating waste of some kind, it is possible to have a more sustainable approach to the process.
Green Chef does all it can to be eco-friendly in this regard by having all of its meal kit packaging be made from recyclable, reusable, and/or compostable materials. Examples of its materials include cardboard boxes, proprietary plant-based insulators, 100% post-consumer recycled paper, and wood pulp egg cartons.
