HelloFresh and Green Chef account for similar dietary preferences, including gluten-free choices. Green Chef does offer keto-friendly and low-carb options, and it’s a better choice if you follow a keto, paleo, or low-carb eating pattern. 

HelloFresh provides some “carb-smart” meals, but those recipes still contain at least 30 to 40 grams of carbohydrates per serving. For comparison’s sake, two of the Green Chef recipes I received had a total of 15 to 17 grams of carbohydrates per serving. 

While neither service is positioned as a weight loss tool, Green Chef’s Fast & Fit preference and HelloFresh’s Fit & Wholesome offer lower-calorie recipe choices.  

Both HelloFresh and Green chef disclose common allergens for each recipe, but you can’t filter menu items by allergen—and both brands note that all foods are produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat. 

HelloFresh seems best suited for people with flexible eating patterns and families that need kid-friendly recipes.
