Hey all! My name is Galen - I’m the founder/CEO of GreenChoice.
I’m very excited to launch our free mobile app here on PH as we celebrate Earth Day together! 🌎
GreenChoice helps you find the best food products for you and the environment (without ever leaving your house)! 🛒🌱🚀
I grew up in rural Vermont, lucky to have parents who prioritized eating healthily and sustainably. While there are many more options to choose from today, the paradox of choice can overwhelm the best of us. A few years ago, I got fed up with how difficult it was for me to identify which products among the thousands of options at the grocery store aligned with my dietary restrictions and personal values ~ think the cereal or energy bar aisles 🤯. When I searched online, it only got harder to filter through the noise.
Comparing nutrition labels, fact-checking claims, avoiding harmful ingredients, and reducing our carbon footprint - it’s too much for any of us. GreenChoice does the heavy lifting to help you find the best options available to you!
What’s up next?
- Adding 100+ filters & sorting for a very personalized search experience
- Enabling you to order from food brands and online retailers
- Redesigning product pages for simplicity
Ask me questions, share feedback, or just celebrate our launch with us in the comments! 🎉 Happy Earth Day to all - together, we're on our way to creating a healthier, more just and sustainable world!
Peace & health,
Galen ✌️💚
@percival1@galenkm_g12 Congratulations on the launch!
You might be partly addressing this need gap posted on my platform - 'Calculating climate impact for everyday tasks' - https://needgap.com/problems/36-....
You're welcome to join the discussion to explain how your product solves their problem and for your customers to find your product easily.
@needgap thank's for sharing this! I'll definitely check it out. You're absolutely right - there's been a problematic gap between the info we need in order to make sustainable purchases and the info we actually have when trying to make these choices. We're working to eliminate that knowledge gap with GreenChoice!
@nina_hei Right now we're focused on the United States, but many of the 260,000+ food products on GreenChoice can also be found in Europe! Reporting standards and industry regulations are different in the EU, so there are some critical nuances we must consider when we do scale internationally. I'm all for hearing country nominations in the meantime though!
@nina_hei@galenkm_g12 Great initiative, I live in Denmark and would love to be able to use the app here. Many fruits and vegetables are imported and it's often hard to find your way in the many different standards out there
Hey Product Hunters!
I’m Makayla — the Principal Dietitian at GreenChoice 🌱 I just joined the GreenChoice team ~2 months ago. For me, the decision to help on this project was a no brainer.
I’ve worked in many different areas in the nutrition field — from clinical nutrition, to foodservice management, retail nutrition, and more. Along with GreenChoice, I currently write for Healthline Media, teach at the local college, and see clients through private practice.
If these experiences have taught me anything, it’s that there are always barriers for anyone trying to make healthy and sustainable food choices — whether that be time, finances, or simply confusion about what choices to make.
GreenChoice breaks down all of these barriers, making healthy, sustainable, and affordable food choices easy. This is true even if you have food allergies, sensitivities, or have specific dietary preferences, such as vegan or vegetarian.
Needless to say, I recommend GreenChoice to all my family, friends, and clients and encourage you to check this app out as well!
Feel free to ask any nutrition-related app questions, or offer any feedback! I’m all ears, and would love to hear from you!
Happy Earth Day! 🌎 💚
