Lean Kitchen

Lean Kitchen is a meal prep franchise that makes fresh, never frozen, grab-and-go meals in its local kitchen, with more than 30 options that are heat-and-eat ready. Its menu includes dishes like Honey BBQ Power Bowl, Homestyle Lemon Chicken, Coastal Mango Shrimp and Brunch Burger Bowl, and many are labeled dairy free, gluten friendly or low-carb. The company also sells supplements and runs weekly meal plans.

Orders can be picked up in store or delivered to a home or office, with a minimum order of $50 for individual orders. Set-it-and-forget-it weekly plans come with 5% off and free delivery, and the menu varies by location. The company started in Saint Joseph, Missouri, where it has a store at 1331 S Belt Highway.
