Like all of Green Chefs 2-person meal plans, each Green Chef Keto box comes with everything you need to cook 3 dinners for 2 people (6 servings total per box). This includes prepped organic ingredients, pre-made sauces, and easy recipes, all delivered to your door.
Is Green Chef Keto right for me?
Green Chef Keto is perfect for anybody wanting to watch carbs without sacrificing flavor. If you do follow a ketogenic lifestyle and want to add delicious variety to the mix, this is for you.
Youre also sure to love Green Chef Keto if youre already a fan of our paleo dinners. Like Paleo, our tasty Keto-friendly meals have no wheat, gluten, or grains. Green Chef Keto is our second certified gluten-free meal plan offering.
We make it easy to switch between meal plans week to week and encourage you to experience Green Chef Keto yourself.

What is Keto?
A Ketogenic diet is high in good fats, moderate in protein, and low in sugars and carbohydrates. This diet helps the body achieve a metabolic state called ketosis, using ketones produced in the liver for energy instead of the usual glucose from carbs. The body works harder to break down ketones and burns more fat.
Always seek the advice of your physician or a qualified healthcare provider with any questions regarding your health, diet, or fitness. Green Chef does not provide medical, dietary, or fitness advice.
