BOULDER, Colo., Aug. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Chef
Corporation, the Boulder-based
organic meal kit company, announced today it will be offering a
ketogenic-friendly plan to help support low-carb lifestyles. Green
Chef is the first national company in the industry to make this
diet plan available and will begin shipping Keto boxes across
the United States on Aug. 28, 2017.
While the Keto diet has been around for over 100 years, a new
generation is jumping on board seeking options for healthy weight
management and low-carb lifestyles. The Keto macronutrient approach
prioritizes healthy fats by targeting food intake at 75% fat, 20%
protein, and 5% low-glycemic carbohydrates. This ratio of fats,
proteins, and carbs is designed to help the body use ketones for
energy instead of the usual glucose. Achieving this metabolic state
(called ketosis) generally enables the body to burn more fat.
Green Chef CEO/Founder, Michael
Joseph, said: "After much interest from customers about the
keto diet, we decided to put the time, effort, and research into
making this an option for them. We have consulted with a number of
nutritionists and chefs to create delicious meals that will fit
into the keto lifestyle, and we are excited to be the first
national meal kit company to provide this plan as an option."
Green Chef Keto is both dairy- and gluten-free, making it the
company's third gluten-free offering (Gluten-Free, Paleo, and now
Keto). Green Chef Keto will sell for $14.99 per serving, plus shipping, and will
generally fall into a range of 400-600 calories per serving. Keto
recipes include: crispy coconut-breaded chicken fingers with curry
aïoli, juicy pork chops seasoned with rosemary and mustard-caraway
spices, and savory sole roulade served alongside bacon-roasted
green beans.
