  • Today I am sharing my honest review of Green Chef. I ordered the Keto Meal Plan which includes 3 meals for 2 people. I cooked these recipes for my husband and I for lunches. This video is not sponsored. I paid my own money to receive a box.
    My total for the meals was $34.93.

    Thanks for the great honest review. It definitely turns me off that you have to pay before you can even look at the available meals. 😊❤️👍🏼

    Hi! I know this video was filmed a while ago. I was searching for Green Chef reviews and yours was the first one that came up, so I watched it! I enjoyed your honest opinion about the taste of the food. I am desperately searching for a meal plan that has low carb friendly meals. The few meal kits I have looked into and tried so far, all have so many recipes that include potatoes or rice :(
    Anyway, odd question, I am really curious how you liked the Flow alkaline water that you got as a sample?

    Before we get to the food: Is your necklace a little lemon slice? :o) Thank you for sharing your experiences with these meal delivery kits. I tried Blue Apron once and could see the value in it for some people. In the end, I found that I really do love grocery shopping and trying out recipes that I find online or hear about from friends. :o)

    Thanks for the video! I was thinking about it but than thought, well I can look up keto recepies and just order food through walmart pack them in my fridge individually and there you go! My own little greenchef order lol honestly the only reason I wanted to order from here is because of the keto products that I was scared to mess up. Seeing the price (which is fine for who eats out almost everyday) is not great for me because I do cook cuban home made food every day except Sundays, that's when my husband cooks from his country so... yah thanks a lot.

    I tried Hello Fresh which is the owner of Green Chef and I found that it was extremely expensive and was left not full after eating.
    I order pre-cooked keto meals from Factor and it fills me up and the meals don't go over 10 net carbs.

    What bothers me is that most of the meals have so much unnecessary sugar in the sauces! I find myself having to substitute with my own sugar free sauces in order to keep under my daily net carb intake.

    They looked great finished, but flavor is where it's at, and if the flavor isn't there for me I'm more temped to cheat. Thank you for your honest opinion, it means a lot. You might be able to make your own Keto meals that will suit your tastes more, maybe Nicole will have some great recipes for you. I know you are not trying to go all Keto, just making those lifestyle changes is hard enough, so for me you have to love it. :-)

    It's confusing that you said it's a con that the meal kit subscriptions require you to pay before you can see the menus but you've ordered it anyways so obviously it wasn't a big enough deterrent to order. Every week the menu changes anyways so you wouldn't judge based on the menu. Then the next clip you go on to say "my next review is the Green Chef Meal Kit." Maybe it was from another video and it was just cut wrong but which company did you previously review?

    You are wrong.. .you can view meals... on top left of main page click Menu... then click Weekly Menu... then select Meal Plan and choose from plant powered, keto & paleo, or balanced living.. and it shows you the meals. From there you can click each meal and it shows you what is in that meal and a short description.

Can’t get out to buy groceries??? HEB and even Walmart delivers! You were doing all the work anyhow. Enchilada casserole?? Every Texan in your audience died a little bit! Lol! Seriously, love your honest reviews, and it convinced me that meal prep and planning is the way to go!! ♥️🐾. P.S. you do look like you’re loosing weight!!!!

    That's not accurate. You can view all the meals availavle for each week b4 paying, u have to click on the link. However, u will have to pay first to choose your meals. You can skip every month if u don't like the next week's selection.. It's legit, u see exactly what u r paying b4 swiping your credit card.

  • @rsalas558
    @rsalas558 4 роки тому

    A LOT of people are commenting on the fact that green chef requires you to submit payment BEFORE even knowing what meals are available or if they even look appealing to you. Now after reading the comments, I can see that you CAN see the meals on the website prior to purchasing however you cannot on the mobile device which is the mode I originally used to set up my plan but immediately stopped when I approached the above mentioned issue. I think this is an obvious issue and they are losing a lot of business not providing the same access via mobile app or at the very least a clear statement on the app that you can go to their website to see complete meal plan options prior to paying. I can only imagine how much business they have lost by omitting this from their mobile app. Ijs

  • @JohnVeritas

    Where is Gordon Ramsey to challenge these claims of under 15 minutes total cook time? The food was pretty good and the price point was fair not excessive, and not cheap.
    My concern is the inaccurate cooking times.
    15 minutes really means 23.
    30 minutes means 56.
    35 minutes means 82.
    I don't expect professional chefs to be the standard and my wife and I both run a startup food catering service. We have chosen to use standard house knives and cookware equal to store bought (Target) and expect that if you are a professional chef you are not ordering these consistently because you already make your own recipes.
    Please understand that we did enjoy the food and this excelled with diversity of dishes like most other companies and health wise we chose paleo and keto friendly dishes.
    Customer service misinformation was also prevelant. One representative told us the food would NEVER expire during transit shipping, even if it took 5 years to leave from the factory before it arrived at our door. This is simply not true as confirmed by a supervisor.
    The claim is food will be good for 7 days after it arrives but little information is given about whether it takes 2 days or 10 to arrive after it leaves their store.

    I wish you’d talk more and share your thoughts as you’re cooking. Just watching you cook to music is boring. I see more and more people doing it that way. I guess it makes doing videos easy. I just find myself getting bored and don’t want to finish watching the video. 😟

      on a side note you sound lonely af if you need to ask some yt personality to talk and share their thoughts as they cook in a green chef review lol maybe get a friend or something or watch reality tv idk what to tell ya
