Meet the Team Behind Your Meals
Behind every meal that arrives at your door is a real team of people cooking, portioning and packing it by hand in our Papamoa kitchen. We think that matters — you're not eating something churned out by a faceless factory. Here's a little about the people who make your meals.
A Real Kitchen, Real People
MealPrep.nz isn't an anonymous production line. Our meals are made by hand by a small, dedicated team in our MPI-registered kitchen at 30 Gravatt Road, Papamoa Beach. Every meal passes through the hands of people who care about getting it right.
Recipes Led by Our Chef
Our recipes are developed by our chef, Alex, who's responsible for making sure every meal hits its nutrition targets and genuinely tastes good. That balance — healthy and delicious — is harder than it sounds, and it's the heart of what Alex does. From the Cajun Chicken & Cauliflower Rice to the Meatlovers Pizza Bowl, the recipes are designed to make eating for your goals something you actually look forward to.
The Wider Team
Great meals take more than recipes. Our team includes the people who manage production, prepare your labels and meal sleeves, and carefully pack every order for its journey to you. It's a genuine team effort, and everyone plays a part in the meal you unbox.
(We'd love to introduce each team member properly — this is a great spot to add names, photos and a sentence or two about each person to bring the team to life for customers.)
Why a Local Team Matters
When real, local people make your food:
- There's accountability — we stand behind every meal
- There's care — handmade in batches, not mass-produced
- There's community — we're a Bay of Plenty business serving Kiwis nationwide
