Green Chef FAQ
How much does Green Chef cost?
The meal plans vary depending on the types of meals you choose. The Balanced Living and Plant-Powered plans are both $11.99 per serving while the Keto + Paleo plan pricing is $12.99 per serving.
How do I select my meals?
Once subscribers are logged in, go to Edit Subscription and you can select your upcoming meals from a range of meals offered. If you don’t see any meals you like, you always have the option to skip that week’s delivery. You can also make changes to the serving size and your meal plan preferences, your delivery date, or change the number of boxes you’d like to receive.
How long do I have to select my meals and make changes?
To make any changes to your order, whether skipping a delivery or changing your meals, you have a one-week deadline; 7 days before your delivery day at 11:59 pm ET. You can view this cutoff date in the Your Plan section of your account and select Edit Order to make changes.
How skilled of a cook do I need to be?
This depends on the meals that you choose, but basic cooking skills and knowledge should be sufficient. The meals are organized into separate bags making it easy to locate everything you need for each meal and you will also receive a recipe cards with step-by-step instructions that break it down for you along with relevant information such as the cook time. They will list materials and ingredients that you need to gather from home and then start with the prep section so you know exactly what to do. There are also photos to accompany the directions along the way.
How much prep work is involved?
These meal kits come with most ingredients such as spices and sauces already prepared for you to use, but there will be some peeling, chopping, and grating involved depending on the recipe.
How long will the food stay fresh?
Since they use organic ingredients when they can, the shelf life of some of these foods may be shorter, but with the insulation, use of ice packs and quick transit, Green Chef says ingredients should stay fresh for about five days after arrival. Some recipes (such as those containing seafood) may need to be eaten more quickly and this is usually indicated on the individual protein package.
How do I cancel Green Chef?
You can cancel or skip up to 5 weeks of orders at a time under the Your Plan section of your account, as long as it is before your cutoff date for the current week. The cancellation process can be done online by signing in, click your name and then Account Info from the drop-down menu. There will be a Cancel Subscription button to click and a few prompts to follow to confirm your cancellation.

"Very pricey, not totally organic - but delicious"
Aug 25, 2022
I subscribed to Green Chef for about six months since I suck at meal planning and needed something keto I could prepare at home. Their meals are absolutely delicious. Totally create recipes. Ingredients I'd never think of combining. Whoever designs their menu is genius. However, its extremely pricey, especially considering its not completely organic. I'd get notifications saying they couldn't fulfill certain items as organic - with no compensation price wise. I recently went back in to my account, thinking to sign up again, and now I see that you can pay extra to get organic meat. Bummer since its billed as an organic meal delivery service - and priced accordingly.

I have subscriptions to Green Chef, Home Chef, Blue Apron, Hello Fresh, Territory Foods, and Daily Harvest. Green Chef is consistently the MOST DELICIOUS foods of all the services!!! Unfortunately, it is also the most expensive and is the hardest to customize.
I have the Omnivore option as my default, and if it has salmon one week, and I don't happen to like any of the 3 pre-chosen meal combinations for other diet types, I need to skip the week.
I love that it's always 100% organic and the efforts they put into smart packaging. I have never made a meal that didn't taste good.
