Green Chef Meal Kit: A Cut Above with Wild-Caught Fish and Verified Gluten-Free Options

Green Chef, HelloFresh's organic meal kit, impressed a reviewer with its wild-caught salmon and steelhead trout, which were the best fish he'd had from a meal kit. The service also offers independently validated gluten-free meals prepared in separate facilities. However, prep times ran longer than advertised and the kit generated more dirty dishes, while being among the pricier options.

The reviewer tested three meals and three market items during August, the most demanding month for shipping perishables, and found herbs and vegetables arrived without wilting. Green Chef's weekly menu offers more than 40 options, with roughly a third of dishes vegetarian, a third dairy-free, and five to ten keto selections.
