Green Chef customers can now browse and select from all 24 weekly options across six meal preferences within the meal kit provider’s full menu.

Healthy meal kit company Green Chef has expanded its weekly menu to give subscribers the ability to browse and select from all 24 weekly options across six meal preferences within the full menu. Both new and existing subscribers can access the expanded menu starting this week.

The new menu design now offers flexibility and personalization, which enables customers to experiment with various dietary preferences or customize weekly boxes. Subscribers are no longer limited to choosing from 9-12 recipes within one meal type; instead, they can mix and match recipes from all 24 weekly options offered across Green Chef’s six preferences: Vegan, featuring veggies, plant-based proteins and grains; Vegetarian, meatless recipes with a focus on plant-based ingredients; Gluten-Free, offering meals also free of soy; Mediterranean, with ample veggies and healthy fats; Keto + Paleo, carb-conscious, high-protein recipes free of gluten, grains, soy, and legumes; and Fast & Fit, fresh, convenient, calorie-conscious recipes with keto and veggie options, ready in 25 minutes or less.

“At Green Chef, we understand that eating well evolves with each person’s individual needs and goals,” said Kat Marris, recipe developer at the Boulder, Colo.-based company. “We heard the feedback from our customers that they wanted more variety and flexibility, and we’re thrilled to now offer them the opportunity to mix and match among 24 weekly recipes. With double the choices, home cooks can now try delicious new flavors and better customize their meals to support their lifestyles and unique household needs.”
