On my second week with Greenchef, and I think the thing I love most is the crazy interesting things they do with veg. We had a combo of yellow squash, cabbage, dried figs and almonds last night. It was amazing and I'd never have thought to make that combination. I plan to do this for a few weeks to get some good ideas and get out of my cooking rut. I am really loving the high content of interesting veg and we've liked them all so far. Just wish they weren't so danged expensive! Then too, it's also expensive throwing away that broccoli we never got around to using...

Thank you!
I’m plant based and so happy I found a subscription box. I always wanted to try the others but never found one for my diet. I can’t wait to try..

Does the Nutrition Label show ingredients?

Great video! I am wondering if you can cancel after you've used the voucher for the first box? Or do they just keep charging you for all 4?

Where is Gordon Ramsey to challenge these claims of under 15 minutes total cook time? The food was pretty good and the price point was fair not excessive, and not cheap.
My concern is the inaccurate cooking times.
15 minutes really means 23.
30 minutes means 56.
35 minutes means 82.
I don't expect professional chefs to be the standard and my wife and I both run a startup food catering service. We have chosen to use standard house knives and cookware equal to store bought (Target) and expect that if you are a professional chef you are not ordering these consistently because you already make your own recipes.

Please understand that we did enjoy the food and this excelled with diversity of dishes like most other companies and health wise we chose paleo and keto friendly dishes.

Customer service misinformation was also prevelant. One representative told us the food would NEVER expire during transit shipping, even if it took 5 years to leave from the factory before it arrived at our door. This is simply not true as confirmed by a supervisor.
The claim is food will be good for 7 days after it arrives but little information is given about whether it takes 2 days or 10 to arrive after it leaves their store.

Do they allow me to put in my allergens (sadly, there's a fair few) so I can avoid anaphylactic shock? :)

This is similar to everyplate which one do you recommend better?

[jbonedrake]

So what do you do for the rest of the week?? We eat more than 3 meals a week

[veyriley]

Are you able to pick the meals within each plan?

Why do these meal kits have so much sodium? Consistently I see 800 - 1100mg of sodium. Am I just focusing on the wrong number? Doesn't seem like I have that much when I cook myself.

Those meat packages look like hello fresh.

I just subbed to this, fortunately at a steep discount, and found out Green Chef is owned by Hello Fresh. It's the same exact packaging and food just higher prices. Siiiigh, wasn't happy with Hello Fresh (missing ingredients and rotten veggies) so probably wont be happy with this one either. my own fault for not doing research.

[imhungry]

They also do not offer pescatarian meals

[imhungry]

75% of the time they are missing meals and it is spoiled buyer beware

[haoqinggeng]

how is this ANY differenct from hello fresh?? Even the packaging is exactly the same. lmfao
