Our verdict
Both are subscription kits sharing the same 30g protein figure, but they diverge sharply on price and breadth. Gousto costs £3.25 per meal with free delivery and a 600 kcal portion guide, against Green Chef's £6.30-plus (rising to around £9.50 on bigger boxes) with a £4.99 delivery fee. Green Chef's draw is its diet range: alongside Vegan and Vegetarian it offers Keto, High Protein, Calorie Conscious and Pescatarian across 35+ weekly recipes, making it the pick for structured eating plans. Gousto counters with strong everyday value, a huge rotating menu and stated High Protein options. Neither lists calories cleanly across the board — Green Chef gives no kcal figure here — so Gousto is slightly clearer for calorie-watchers. For most households Gousto's price advantage is decisive; Green Chef earns its premium only if you need its specialist diet plans.
