The Texas Medical Center is the largest medical complex on Earth, and a good chunk of the residents, nurses, and post-op patients who work there searched for exactly this page. We wish we had better news: SmashMeals doesn't ship to Houston. Our one dedicated gluten-free kitchen sits in Kingsport, Tennessee, and the FedEx Ground lanes we've priced into our flat $30 rate cover 30 states plus DC — Southeast Texas isn't among them yet. We kept this page live specifically so that medical staff and energy-sector commuters searching for us get facts, not a dead link.

SmashMeals doesn't currently ship to Houston, Texas. We run one 100% dedicated gluten-free kitchen in Kingsport, TN and ship chef-prepared, macro-counted meals via flat-rate FedEx Ground to 30 states plus DC — Texas isn't in that zone today. Houston residents near the Texas Medical Center, The Heights, River Oaks, the Energy Corridor, Katy, and The Woodlands ask us about this often, so we're keeping this page up with honest information rather than pretending we deliver here. Every meal we do ship is made in a facility with zero wheat, barley, or rye on premises — the difference between 'gluten-friendly' and actually dedicated gluten-free. If you have a shipping address in one of the states we currently serve, you can order this week. Since 2017 we've been East Tennessee's original gluten-free meal prep company, and our shipping zone has expanded over time — check back, or see our current shipping zone for the up-to-date list.
Our analytics show steady traffic from the Texas Medical Center, The Heights, River Oaks, the Energy Corridor, Katy, and The Woodlands — a wide cross-section of Houston, which tells us the demand is real even though the delivery isn't yet.
What's stopping us isn't willingness, it's physics: a box of chef-prepared meals needs to stay cold from Friday's cook through arrival, and Houston sits outside the ground-transit radius we currently guarantee for that. We'd rather say so plainly than ship something we can't stand behind.
Radius limits move, though — ours has moved before as we've added regional capacity, and Gulf Coast demand is part of what we track when deciding where to expand next. The shipping zone page is where that decision shows up first, so check there instead of guessing from this page. And if a Houston order isn't possible today, a friend or family member's address in one of our 30 states plus DC still gets you the same meals from the same kitchen we've run since 2017.

Not currently. Houston and the rest of Texas are outside our shipping zone today. We ship from our dedicated gluten-free kitchen in Kingsport, TN to 30 states plus DC — see our shipping zone page for the current list.
Yes. We operate a 100% dedicated gluten-free facility — no wheat, barley, or rye in the building, ever. That's true everywhere we ship, and it's the standard we'll bring to Texas if and when we expand here.
Possibly — our shipping zone has grown before as logistics and demand allow. We don't have a timeline to share yet, but this page will be updated the moment Texas is added.
Check our shipping zone page for the current list of 30 states plus DC. If you have access to a shipping address in one of those states — family, a second home, an office — you can order today from the same kitchen.
No. SmashMeals has never required a subscription. Order the weeks you want, skip the weeks you don't, with no minimum order.
