KINGSPORT, TN — May 27, 2026 — SmashMeals, the dedicated gluten-free meal prep company in the Tri-Cities since 2017, has been featured by WJHL News Channel 11 in three new segments of In the Kitchen with Kelly, hosted by Kelly Goetz. The episodes were filmed inside the SmashMeals production kitchen in Kingsport and will roll out over the coming weeks on WJHL+, the station's free streaming app available on Roku, Fire TV, and Apple TV.

The three segments showcase meals that SmashMeals customers already order each week:
- Citrus Chicken — a bright, macro-counted entrée built on lean chicken breast.
- Spinach Artichoke — a creamy, gluten-free comfort dish reworked for everyday nutrition.
- Egg White Omelets — a high-protein breakfast option from the SmashMeals weekly menu.
