5 Great Places For Healthy Meal Prep In Tampa
Meal prepping has been a popular trend for a few years now. It’s one of the most successful ways to stay on track for a fit diet. But we know how time consuming it can be to plan a weeks worth of meals in one day. So we rounded up the 5 best places in Tampa that offer meal prep or “family style” servings.
If you want to hop on the meal prep train, I highly recommend doing so! Yes, it does take up most of my Sunday, but I can go the entire week without worrying about what I’m having for dinner, saving on money by not going out for lunch, and the best part, no dishes every night. If you do have the time to cook for yourself, but need some recipe info, I follow @tastyshreds on Instagram and he has so many tasty meal prep recipes that I love!! There are also plenty of meal prep services where you can choose your own meal, but those can be expensive.
We got most of these recommendations from the Tampa reddit thread, and added a few spots of our own. If you know of any other spots that have great family-style or meal prep options, feel free to shout them out on our social media and we’ll add them to the list!
Here Are 5 Great Places For Meal Prep In Tampa
- Dinner Done – Thanks to reddit, we found this handy business that specializes in frozen-fresh, ready-to-cook entrees prepared with no added preservatives. Prices vary by meal but range between $14-16 for 2-4 servings. They’re located in Carrollwood at 10330 N Dale Mabry Hwy #120.
- Fresh Kitchen – The Fresh Kitchen catering menu is perfect for meal prepping. The only bummer is you’ll have to contact the local FK manager to place the order ahead of time, and might not be available the same day.
- Costco – Whether you’re cooking your own meals or want them ready made, a Costco (or any wholesale store) membership is super helpful. A $5 rotisserie chicken came make you at least 4 meals, and you can buy meat/veggies by bulk. Plus, Costco’s ready-made meals are delicious and serves 4-6 usually.
- Chipotle – The build your own single catering meal has 10 servings for $108. Not bad for fast-food style meal prep.
- Columbia – Not only does Columbia have some of their most famous recipes online for you to make at home, but you can also cater family-style meals and pick up at the restaurant. But to put in the order, you’ll need to email the restaurant.
