How much does meal prep cost in Columbia?

See the current menu for pricing. FedEx Ground is flat-rate. Subscriptions optional, no membership, no minimum order.

Are SmashMeals made in a dedicated gluten-free kitchen?

We operate a 100% dedicated gluten-free facility — no wheat, barley, or rye enters the building. That avoids shared gluten-containing prep equipment and airborne flour from on-site gluten baking, which reduces cross-contact risk compared with a shared kitchen. Anyone managing celiac disease should review our allergen practices and consult their own healthcare provider.

Are there GLP-1-friendly meals for Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro users in the Midlands?

Our standard menu is protein-forward and portion-conscious, which pairs well with a reduced GLP-1 appetite. Confirm portion size with your prescriber.

Can meals fit a post-bariatric nutrition plan?

Needs vary by recovery stage. Compare the current meal label with your surgeon or registered dietitian’s guidance before ordering.

How do meals arrive fresh shipping to Columbia?

Cooked Friday/Saturday, packed Sunday in commercial insulated boxes with gel ice packs, shipped via FedEx Ground; transit timing varies by destination and carrier conditions. Fridge life: 5–7 days from arrival.
