FFresh Prep, in Bridge City offers tremendous healthy meals that can whet anyone’s appetite at amazing prices.

Plus, there is that wonderful customer service that is so top-notch.

Fresh Prep is one of the only places like this in the Southeast Texas area.

People are learning what food can do to their body and are becoming more aware of what not to eat and Fresh Prep is the perfect location to learn how to eat healthy and prosper.

Owner Carrie Richard, and her mother Beth Hanks, opened the meal prep service so people could live and eat healthier. They were later joined in the business by Maddison Bouget, operations manager.

"We use no additives at all in our food," Richard said. "It's all God made, not man-made ingredients. It's organic, non-GMO. GMOs don't process in the body. It about how much you care."

Get already made clean, healthy meals. All food is served in the best form found. Menu changes weekly and will be updated every Thursday. From individual purchased meals to a whole weeks worth of food, choose from the weekly menu that changes every week. By appointment and order only. Text to set up times. Food will be prepared every Tuesday and payment is required before food is cooked.

They prepare fresh, clean meals on a weekly basis customers can store in their refrigerators and grab on the go, according to their website.

"We cook regular food, but it's clean," said Richard. "Clean, meaning real food, not with manmade seasonings. We serve no fried foods. Everything is gluten-free and most everything is soy-free. Sauces are made from scratch and homemade."

The store is opened from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, snacks and sweets. They're open until 7 p.m. on Tuesday.

Fresh Prep has also been wonderful helping people throughout the community.

They have ran a special for the elderly and the disabled — people who are homebound and who can no longer cook for themselves — of seven meals for $50. Peanut butter balls are one of their best sellers. Other popular dishes are jambalaya, Mexican eggs, lemon turkey, enchiladas, lasagna and smoothies.

They also won an award for their chili in a chili cook-off.
