MEAL PREP

Avocado. offers affordable meal preparation for everyone. Chef Kristi will prepare your chosen meals in your own kitchen.  Whether you have special dietary needs or just want to remove the burden of making dinner, Avocado. is here to make your life healthier and easier. (Here in Tampa Bay on vacation and don’t want to cook or eat out all the time? Our meal service works perfectly to give you the foods you really want – at an affordable cost.)

Select Your Service:

Avocado. offers a traditional personal chef service using plant-based foods.  With this approach, we discuss specific dietary needs and personal goals in detail using a new customer questionnaire.   We then create a custom meal plan of your liking and visit on a regular basis (typically once every other week, where we make several meals).  Please view our carefully-curated Meal Prep menu (below) to select the dishes that appeal to you. We add new dishes each month or seasonally so you never have the same thing twice (unless you don’t mind that)! Update February 2025: we have a designated Raw Vegan menu! Contact Chef Kristi for details.

Schedule Your Meal Prep Service:
At Avocado., we never require a contract for meal prep. Hire us to cook for you as many times as you like. We will do all the work – menu creation, shopping, prep, and kitchen clean-up. All you need to do is select your dishes, and the quantity desired. We will send you an invoice to pay your deposit, and work out a cook date.

Enjoy! 
Imagine how good it feels to have a fridge or freezer full of healthful, delicious food tailored to your personal tastes. All you’ll need to do is reheat (where necessary), relax, and enjoy your custom meals.
