That’s why these military veterans created Kettlebell Kitchen—a meal prep and delivery service with an emphasis on nutritious meals customized to every individual and their goals.
With a passion for improving people’s lives through food, Joe and Andy designed a company that takes the thinking out of eating well. Over seven years later, Kettlebell Kitchen has grown to over 300 employees and delivers meals to more than 1,000 locations across the USA.
