Growing up, our dog Rover felt like the center of our family memories. As an adult, I really missed the comfort of having a dog in the house. Last year I finally moved into a building that allows pets, so I decided it would be a great time to adopt a puppy. I fell in love with Mia, a little Corgi the second I laid eyes on her. She was so tiny, and the minute I picked her up I knew I just had to have her! I got her a nice, soft bed and did some research on what kinds of food would best suit her breed. As a new "dog mom" I wanted to give Mia all the best. I was comparing puppy pics with some of my coworkers (yes, she has her own Instagram) and one of my friends had a bunch of pictures of her Shih Tzu with these super cute toys, like smiling plushie dumplings and a chinese food box, that I hadn't ever seen before. I asked where she got them, and she told me about BarkBox, a subscription box that delivers new treats and toys to your door every month.

BarkBox sounded like the perfect way to spoil Mia a little and get her some new toys so that she would feel at home in my apartment. I only live a 5 minute walk from work, so I'm able to sneak home to take her out for a walk, but I wanted her to have some toys that would keep her entertained when I was away. I went online and saw that BarkBox includes 2 squeaky toys and 2 bags of treats in every box. Plus, as a new subscriber, they gave me a free Blink Camera, so now I can watch Mia play with her toys while I am at work! What really got me hooked was that each month has an adorable theme, like The Squirlz or Barkbuster Movie Night. When the first box arrived at my door, the theme was so cute that I think I was more excited to play with the toys than Mia was! We got the "Sniff The Roses Flower Shoppe" themed box, and the "Mi Amour Macarons" multi-part toy and the rope-pull "Tulip Tug" were her clear favorites.

Mia also went crazy for the bags of chicken-based treats. I love that all of the treats are all-natural and made in the U.S and Canada. You hear so many horror stories about what's actually in dog's food and kibble, so it's great to trust what you're feeding your dog is safe. I used these treats as a training reward which made Mia super motivated to learn!

Mia is almost 8 months old now, and has loved all but one of the toys she has gotten in her monthly boxes. She didn't respond well to one of the toys from her last box, and the team at BarkBox sent us another one, no questions asked. Bark has the best customer service, plus you can customize all of your boxes to your pups liking. Having BarkBox delivered to my apartment every month has been so convenient, and she plays with the toys so much more than she ever did with stuff I bought her from Petco.

She has a little corner in my living room where her bed is, and every night before she goes to sleep, she lines her bed with all of her favorite BarkBox toys. Our monthly box is only $20, and has been worth ten times that because of how much it has helped us bond. I'm taking her home to meet Rover for the first time in a couple of weeks -- he's an old dog, and I'm not sure he'll be able to handle Mia's never-ending energy, so I'm ordering him his own BarkBox to my parents' house to keep the fighting over toys to a minimum!


Why is it such a mission to stick to the keto diet? Between planning, scouring for Keto-Friendly recipes, sourcing quality ingredients, and whipping up low-carb wonders, it's a real challenge for the average Joe.

Thankfully, there are tons of meal kit companies out there, so it’s easier to stay on the keto track, even when life gets hectic. But which delivery service is the real deal for keto people?

Our Food and Bev squad did some online sleuthing and Home Chef and Green Chef kept popping up as the top contenders in the keto game. We put both subscription services to the test to find the ultimate winner.

Here's the scoop:

Similarities:

  • Both offer Keto-Friendly menu options
  • Both come with chef-designed recipes
  • Both ship fresh, pre-portioned ingredients straight to your door
  • Both are on the eco-friendly packaging train

Differences:

  • Home Chef lets you tweak the protein on certain meals with their Customize It tool*
  • Home Chef rocks 8 Oven-Ready options, unlike Green Chef
  • Home Chef has the highest customer satisfaction rate among meal kit big shots**

Home Chef Lowdown:

With Home Chef, you can choose from traditional meal kits, Oven-Ready options, and Express Meals that are ready in 30 minutes or less. Talk about variety!

The cool thing about Home Chef is you can edit certain meals with their Customize It tool, so you swap or double up your favorite protein.

From breakfast to dinner and even snacks, Home Chef's menu is stacked. Imagine Keto-Friendly dishes like Bacon and Cheese-Stuffed Chicken and Beef Taco-Stuffed Poblanos – yum.

Their Keto-Friendly Culinary Collection has gourmet picks like Balsamic Fig-Glazed Sirloin. You can personalize your protein with choices like Sirloin Steaks, USDA Choice New York Strip Steak, Salmon Filets, or Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts.

Whipping up Keto-Friendly meals like the Baja-Style Mahi-Mahi Bowl from their Express menu in just 20ish minutes is a game-changer on those crazy days. Plus, each week Home Chef features 8 Oven-Ready meals that include Keto-Friendly options – a huge win compared to other top services. Simply toss the ingredients in the oven-safe tray (that comes with your order), stick it in the oven, and bam! It's like you sweat over a hot stove for hours – with Home Chef, cooking's a breeze!

Green Chef Lowdown:

Green Chef is a popular meal kit service that has a bunch of plans and a menu with lots of options.

Their plans include Plant Based, Calorie Smart, Quick & Easy, Protein Packed, Gluten Free, Gut & Brain Health, Mediterranean, and of course, Keto. Their meals take an average of 30 minutes to cook.

You can go for 2, 4, or 6 servings with 3 or 4 recipes a week. Their Keto menu options include Brown Butter Shrimp with Bacon & Brussels and Shrimp & Bacon Squash-Noodle Bowls. They’re USDA-certified Organic and their produce always arrives fresh.

Final Thoughts:

While we enjoyed both companies’ meals, we were less satisfied overall with Green Chef – TBH we had a bit of pesky carb-cravings creep. We also wished Green Chef had more Oven-Ready preferences on the menu.

It's no shocker that Home Chef is the king of Customer Satisfaction among meal kit companies.** And with prices starting at only $7.99, they make eating Keto-Friendly not only convenient, but also budget-friendly. So, if you’re trying to eat Keto-Friendly meals, Home Chef it is!

Growing up, our dog Rover felt like the center of our family memories. As an adult, I really missed the comfort of having a dog in the house. Last year I finally moved into a building that allows pets, so I decided it would be a great time to adopt a puppy. I fell in love with Nala, a beautiful mix (we think shepherd and ridgeback), the second I laid eyes on her. She was so small, and the minute I picked her up I knew I just had to have her! I got her a nice, soft bed and did some research on what kinds of food would best suit her breed. As a new "dog mom" I wanted to give Nala all the best.
