Snap Kitchen is the fast, convenient way to pick up a fresh, healthy, delicious meal or snack any time of day. We’re focused on helping you energize a healthy lifestyle with chef-prepared menus made from the freshest ingredients, whether you’re aiming for a more ideal weight or a better finish time in an upcoming race.
Our chefs prepare and package individual meals throughout the day, each reasonably priced from $3 - $13, and each complete with its own nutritional information. We use fresh-picked, local (when available) ingredients to make an extensive variety of breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack items. They’re ready to eat or ready to heat up – in a snap! Stop into one of our convenient locations, or order online for pickup or delivery.
Our meals are prepared with the freshest ingredients daily and are refrigerated. Some items, such as salads, are ready to eat and others simply need to be heated briefly in a microwave or oven. We use only microwave-safe containers that are reusable or recyclable.
All of our meals and snacks carry individual nutritional labels, as do the items on our web site. Additionally, each location has a knowledgeable Registered Dietitian or Nutritionist on staff who can share detailed nutritional information about Snap Kitchen meals.
Our meals and snacks will last up to 5 days in your refrigerator, with seafood items having a somewhat shorter recommended “shelf life.” All of our meals carry labels with expiration dates. Snap Kitchen meals are fresh made, so eating them soon after purchase date is best.
We prepare food every day of the week!
We recommend not freezing your meals, as this may detract from the flavor and nutritional value of the food. Moreover, we have not freeze tested our items and cannot guarantee the packaging materials will allow the food to maintain its integrity. If you choose to freeze any item, we suggest removing it from the freezer the day before you plan to consume, and placing it in the refrigerator so that it has plenty of time to defrost.
Yes, we cold press juice daily! Cold pressing on Norwalk machines yields the best tasting, most nutritionally sound juice. It’s a slow and delicate process that yields small amounts of juice relative to the amount of produce we start with. We hope that you not only can taste the difference, but truly feel better after consuming our juices.
Yes! We are happy to deliver your order to your car at any of our locations if you’re in a hurry, have kids in tow, or have a hard time finding a parking spot. It’s our version of drive-thru! Pre-order by phone, noting your preference of curbside service, and your order will be ready on arrival. You may also call from the car with an order when you arrive at any location, and we’ll pull it together and run it out to your car in a snap!
We deliver to home or office, but require a 24-hour lead time and $25 minimum order. Since all food is prepared fresh daily, advance ordering for delivery gives us the ability to prepare any item you choose (fresh that day)! Link below for details:
*Remember, there is never a charge to pick up your pre-ordered food at any of our locations.
Nutritional demands vary by person, based on your sex, height/weight, activity level, medical condition, etc. We recommend setting up a consultation with our Registered Dietitian if you have any questions, allergies, or medical issues so that we can design a menu for you. For consultations with our Registered Dietitian, the cost is $75 per hour, and can be booked in 30-minute increments. We recommend a 60-minute initial consultation. For any prepaid orders of $575 or more, the consultation fee is waived. For a prepaid order of $1,100, we will include three additional 30-minute consultations. On average, our food is based on a 1,500-calorie lifestyle for women and a 2,000-calorie lifestyle for men. The calorie counts are based on three meals and two snacks per day.
Definitely! Our meals are designed to decrease unhealthy body fat and fuel your metabolism with lean proteins, complex carbohydrates, and healthier fats.
We prepare two sizes of meals which are available anytime in our retail stores. The small meals range from 300 to 400 calories, large meals from 500 to 600 calories, and snacks typically range from 150 to 200 calories. We also offer our “Training Table” meals (higher calorie range with clean carbohydrates) and meal components (such as roasted chicken, ground turkey, brown rice, quinoa, steamed vegetables) by advance ordering through our website, at our stores, or over the phone.
YES!! The best way to keep your body fueled, energy level high, and weight in check is to keep your food intake consistent. Ideally you would eat breakfast within an hour of waking up, and then space your meals/snacks out every 2 ½-3 ½ hours throughout the day. If you exercise in the evening, try to eat right after exercising and make that your last meal of the day. If you don’t work out in the evening, try not eating within three hours before bedtime.
Water is the absolute best thing for your body. We encourage you to drink at least two liters of water each day (more if you’re exercising). Keeping your body hydrated is important for your physical and mental health. Water also helps to flush the toxins out of your body, and keep your body clean. We’re also not opposed to consuming other beverages; there are great natural teas (kombucha, mate, etc.) and there is plenty of research that says that coffee (in moderation) is healthy, as is a glass of red wine with dinner.
We are an Austin-based concept with Houston locations. We believe in supporting our local communities as much as possible.
PLEASE give us feedback. We are FANATICAL about customer service, cleanliness, and integrity of product and concept. We have a feedback page on our website which goes directly to our founders. Additionally, we encourage our staff to solicit feedback from our customers. If you have feedback that you want to discuss directly with one of the owners, please let a staff member know and we will take the call immediately.
We use organic ingredients as often as possible, but organic is just one of many characteristics we use to evaluate the food we buy. Ultimately, we attempt to obtain the highest quality food from as close to us as possible by supporting local vendors. Additionally, we recognize that some purveyors that aren’t certified organic use responsible, sustainable methods in their production practices. Therefore, as our customer, you can take comfort in knowing that what we bring into our kitchen are ingredients we feel strongly about and have researched extensively.
Absolutely! Our food is prepared using ingredients that are sourced as close to us as possible. Additionally, all of our food is free of hormones, steroids, and antibiotics.
ABSOLUTELY! Snap Kitchen is proud to be one of only a few restaurants in Austin and Houston to have earned a 2-Star Green Restaurant Certification by the Green Restaurant Association (GRA). We’ve met the GRA’s strict standards on water efficiency, waste reduction and recycling (paper only at 6th & Lamar), sustainable décor and building materials, energy efficiency, chemical and pollution reduction, and the use of sustainable foods. All of our containers are recyclable, and the majority of them are reusable. Don’t ever buy another piece of Tupperware!
