Home Chef vs Green Chef 2023

Home Chef offers two plans: Home Chef and Fresh & Easy. The second plan is designed for people who don’t have time to cook and want meals they can simply heat and eat. Home Chef focuses on classic dishes and adds some interesting twists to these well-known recipes. You can customize your meal plan and order for 2, 4, or 6 people. The minimum order is 2 dishes per week. There is no maximum order. The price per meal depends on the recipe. The starting price for both plans is $6.99 per serving. Home Chef’s price per meal doesn’t vary depending on the number of meals you order but on the complexity of each recipe. Most meals cost around $9.95 while 5-minute lunch dishes only cost $7.99. 

Green Chef divides its plans according to specific diets. There is a Keto + Paleo plan, a vegetarian plan, and a plan that’s called Balanced Living and includes different well-portioned and nutrient-rich meals that cater to regular diets. There are 4 weekly menus for each one of these options. Each plan includes around 10 recipes. The price for 2 people and 3 meals per week is $12.99 per serving if you order meals from the Keto and Paleo plan. The other plans cost less – a meal is $11.99 and if you choose the 4-person plan, you only pay $10.99 per serving. 

In this first Home Chef vs Green Chef battle, we crown Home Chef as the winner as its meals are more affordable.
