Our Carb Conscious recipes have 42g or less of net carbohydrates (total carbohydrates minus dietary fiber) per serving, a 25% reduction in net carbs compared to the average Blue Apron recipe served in 2019. Due to the natural variation in size of and contribution of produce in our recipes, some recipes can be badged as Carb Conscious at 45g or less net carbs per serving.

From the Test Kitchen

In this fresh, hearty spin on the classic Greek street food favorite, fluffy couscous combines with crisp veggies to create the vibrant base for our za’atar-spiced chicken and onion. It’s all brought together with a drizzle of creamy lemon yogurt, plus a garnish of crunchy almonds.
