Ever notice that most meal subscriptions only cover lunch and dinner? While that may work for some people out there, plenty of us wish that these services had more to offer for other meals throughout the day. Thankfully, Green Chef is quite the exception as they offer tons of options for every major meal of the day including breakfast, plus snacks and dessert! Here, we'll show you what an entire day's worth of recipes looks like from Green Chef.
A Day's Worth Green Chef Meals: Options for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Dessert
1. Breakfast: Turkey Sausage & Cheddar Egg Bites
If you're like me, then mornings are a total struggle! Try as I might, I just can't seem to make the time to cook up a fresh breakfast throughout the work week. So, grab-and-go options are a must for the morning, and these savory egg bites are the way to go. They're packed with turkey sausage, cheddar, havarti, gouda, and Swiss and each serving of 2 bites contains 320 calories, 8g carbs, 17g protein, and 24g fat. They're perfect for those on a low-carb diet but can be easily paired with an add-on item like Mylk Labs Strawberry Oatmeal if you need a quick source of carbs (this meal throws in an additional 200 calories, 34g carbs, 6g protein, and 4.5g fat).
2. Lunch: Prosciutto, Ricotta & Kale Toasts
Next up is a quick throw-together lunch. But don't worry, it's packed with flavor and has enough calories to get you by until the evening. To make this easy lunch, all you need to do is toast sourdough bread until it's golden, prepare each of the toppings, and then plate your dish. You'll dress the toast with individual layers of ricotta, kale, prosciutto, and peach jam, and then garnish it with pistachios, crushed red pepper flakes, and a bit of olive oil. Each serving contains 680 calories, 82g carbs, 23g protein, and 31g fat.
3. Dinner: Chicken with Spicy Apricot Pan Sauce
If you have a bit more time to spare in the evening, then this recipe is a sure winner. This delectable dinner is comprised of chicken cutlets, Jasmine rice, broccoli, and sweet, tangy garnishings. To start, you'll need to cook up the rice for roughly 20 minutes and saute the broccoli for up to 8 minutes. Then, you'll lightly season the cutlets and grill them for 4-6 minutes on each side. Once the chicken is thoroughly cooked, you'll create a pan sauce by combining apricot jam, gluten-free tamari sauce, sugar, butter, and sriracha sauce. You'll plate your dish by fluffing the rice, dividing the cutlets into slices and placing them onto the bed of rice, spooning spicy apricot pan sauce over top, and then serving sautéed broccoli with sesame seeds on the side. Each serving contains 620 calories, 62g carbs, 39g protein, and 25g fat.
4. Dessert: Keto-Friendly Chocolate Chip Cookies
Looking for a guilt-free dessert to finish off the day? Then you have to try these keto cookies! Each serving of 2 cookies only contains 180 calories, 19g carbs, 4g protein, and 15g fat. The batter is made up of almonds, coconut flour, butter, and a sweet zero-calorie monk fruit erythritol blend that's studded with chocolate chips. On the other hand, if you don't mind the extra calories or sugar (or maybe you're sensitive to alternative sweeteners), then the Chocolate Chip Muffins are to die for.
