Sourcing: Nutritionist-designed, diet-specific menus.
Green Chef is HelloFresh's healthy, diet-focused sister brand. Its menus are built around eight dietary preferences - including keto and lower-carb, which most rivals do not offer - and every recipe is designed with nutrition and clear macros in mind.
That focus comes at a price: at a four-recipe box for four people it is the most expensive of the mainstream kits per portion, it only offers two- or four-person boxes, and delivery is charged with no free threshold.
It earns its place for anyone following a specific way of eating - keto, low-carb, high-protein or calorie-conscious - who wants the menu planning done for them. For straightforward value, HelloFresh or Gousto are cheaper.

Frequently asked questions
Does Green Chef do keto boxes?
Yes. Green Chef is one of the few mainstream UK kits with a dedicated keto and lower-carb preference, alongside vegan, vegetarian, high-protein and calorie-conscious options.
Is Green Chef the same as HelloFresh?
It is owned by the same group but runs as a separate, more health- and diet-focused brand with its own menus and (higher) pricing.
