How Home Chef Compares To Hello Fresh

Home Chef is a health-conscious style of meal kit subscription service. Their prices are reasonable compared to Hello Fresh and similar in their portion sizing. They offer around 20-25 meals on average outside of dietary restrictions.

They are more health-conscious with great detail to particular diets with offerings of omnivore, carnivore, pescatarian, and vegetarian options.

There are calorie-conscious and carb-conscious dietary preferences, and a section to cut out allergens. Of course, all these are optional. Compared to Hello Fresh’s “picky eater” option, Home Chef might be the best choice for those particular about their diets.

Home Chef also offers a “Fresh and Easy” section for health-conscious, but quick and easy to cook meals for people who might have limited cooking skills or time.
