We’re now two months into 2020 and I’m making progress on my efforts to eat healthy — thanks in large part to Green Chef! You’ve heard me talk about Green Chef a few times now because it’s become such an important part of my lifestyle. Anything that simplifies healthy eating and saves time (and money) is a win in my book, so I’m thrilled to share my latest experience with you — plus an AWESOME discount too!
One of the best surprises of my Green Chef journey so far has been the *confidence* it’s helping me build in the kitchen. I’m now making dishes that I didn’t think I could make, like meatloaf, falafel, and soup! The little victories have encouraged me to make time for cooking even when I don’t have a Green Chef meal around, and to me, that’s a big change.
THE BASICS
Green Chef offers several different healthy options for a variety of diets: Paleo (free of gluten, dairy, grain, and soy), Keto (low-carb, gluten-free), Balanced Living (meat, seafood, and vegetarian), Plant-Powered (vegetarian / vegan), and Family (meat, seafood, and veggie options.)
I got the Vegetarian Plan — designed to feed two people, but in my house there’s enough food for me to share with the two boys and occasionally have enough for lunch the next day. Green Chef also offers Family Plans; more on that later.
There is no long-term commitment with Green Chef. You can freeze your subscription at any time, so if you’re on vacation or have a busy week of dinner plans ahead, just log in and skip a week. While some of the ingredients could be frozen and used later, the intent is for you to have the freshest food possible without running to the grocery store.
Nearly every ingredient that you need to cook the food is included in the box (except kitchen staples like salt, pepper, cooking oil, etc.) and because it arrives in protective packaging, you can trust that your items are arriving to your doorstep safely!
THE MEALS
Green Chef is a USDA certified organic company, so you can expect fresh, healthy ingredients in each box — free of GMOs, toxic pesticides, antibiotics, growth hormones, or steroids. Whew!
This week, my box included three meals: “Green Pea & Feta Falafel”, “Portobello Fajita Bowl”, and “Chard & Artichoke Quesadillas”. Each took about 45 min to cook and were delicious!! I was especially impressed with the falafal, because I’ve never actually made falafel before. I loved the kale salad that came with the pork meal, and that says a lot because I rarely eat kale!
The recipes are very easy to follow (even for beginners like myself) and the cards come with step by step photos for reference too! Here are a few photos we captured while making dinner one night — enjoy!
THE DEAL
Green Chef is extending a special offer to my readers! Get $80 off + free shipping on Green Chef!
This would make a fantastic gift for anyone (yourself included!) or just because — give Green Chef a try and let me know your feedback. Happy eating!
XOXO,
Keli
