Meal Prep Life Serves Up Fresh, Ready-to-Eat Options in Sidney

SIDNEY, Ohio — For busy parents, professionals, or college students who don’t have time to cook but still want healthy, home-style meals, one Miami Valley business is stepping in to help.

Meal Prep Life, located inside Smoothie Life in Sidney, takes the hassle out of mealtime by offering fresh, made-from-scratch dishes that only need to be heated up. Owner Julie and her team prepare a rotating weekly menu featuring everything from hearty baked spaghetti and chicken pot pie to healthy Mediterranean bowls and protein-packed snacks.

“This is perfect for people who don’t want to fuss with cooking every night,” employee Becca said while preparing a quinoa-based Mediterranean bowl. “We rotate the menu every week, so it’s always something new and fresh. You can order one meal or twenty — whatever fits your schedule.”

A Different Kind of Meal Service

Unlike national meal kit companies that deliver boxes of raw ingredients, Meal Prep Life handles all the cooking in-house. Customers simply place an order online and either pick it up at the Sidney shop, meet at one of the weekly drop-off locations, or choose home delivery.

“People love the convenience,” Becca said. “Every week we hear from families who are grateful to have delicious meals ready to go without the stress.”

A Community Collaboration

Meal Prep Life also partners with Jenn's Backstube, an authentic German bakery operated by Jenn, who grew up in Germany. Customers who place an order using the Pitts Stop Special not only get $5 off but also receive a free, handmade German pretzel.

“Our pretzels are completely organic, made traditionally, and baked the way they’re supposed to be,” Jenn said. “It’s special to share a little bit of my heritage with the community.” Seasonal flavors like vanilla sugar, cinnamon, and apple cider pretzels are also available, alongside their signature beer cheese.

Supporting Busy Families

Julie, the founder of Meal Prep Life, said her mission is simple: help families eat well, even when life gets hectic. From Santa Fe soup simmering on the stove to pumpkin protein bites on the counter, the kitchen is always bustling with fresh, flavorful options.

“People today are so busy,” Jenn said. “Having prepared meals you can just heat up means families can still sit down together and enjoy something healthy.”
