If you are not familiar with subscription boxes, or meals delivered to your door, let me be the first to introduce you. Green Chef is a wholesome meal planning delivery service. They will deliver three complete meals, once a week, and it is practically the best thing ever.
I know I am a busy person, and by the time I get home at night, the last thing I want to do is think about what I am cooking for dinner. Most of the time, Johnny and I end up ordering a pizza, or going to Jason's Deli, or something of that nature.
The best part about Green Chef, is that they have several meal plans to choose from. Everything is certified organic, no hormones, etc. Additionally you can choose from vegetarian, omnivore, carnivore, even paleo plans. It really does fit all lifestyles.
We chose to go with a the omnivore plan, as Johnny is a meat eater, so it would satisfy both of our eating habits.
You will get three meals in your order and they each come color coded, packed and with a step by step cooking instruction page. Not one of the meals I received took over 45 minutes from start to finish.
The first meal we prepared was Vegetable Tartine with roasted sweet potatoes and a walnut arugula salad.. This was quite possibly one of the best things I have eaten in awhile. It was a little adventurous (pickled beet hummus) but so completely delicious.
Everything is perfectly portioned, so you get so full, but don't feel like you are going to go into food coma. The instructions are super easy to follow, so even if you are not a chef extraordinaire you are going to be able to do this!
The second meal I have prepared so far was Spring Roasted Chicken with vegetables. I obviously didn't eat it, as I am a vegetarian, but boy did it smell good. Johnny was a pleased man after this meal.
Another great part of this company is they show all the suppliers their food is sourced from, and you can see your menu that is being planned. If you want to opt out of a week or so, you just opt out, no pressure. You can also change your menu items if there is something that isn't your favorite.
I can't wait to get my next shipment. In fact, Green Chef has offer my readers a special discount code for 4 free meals with your first order! Follow any of the links in this post to get your discount code!
If you do decide to try this company out, even if it is only once a month, I would love to know your experience.
