We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Chrystina MCGRIFF. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Chrystina below.

Alright, Chrystina thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?

I started for my love of making others feel good through my food.

I lost my mom at the early age of nine and she was an amazing cook. As a little girl, I would always see her in the kitchen cooking and baking for our family. After her passing, I started helping my single father prep and cook for my siblings and I meals.

So by the age of 12 and up to today, I have been cooking for my family and friends.

My husband which is a personal trainer pushed me to start meal prepping for his clients. I was initially hesitant because we had just had our second son and I was working a full time job. So to add another thing on my plate was overwhelming.
However, In 2018 I was let go from my corporate job and it was one the best thing that could have happened to me.

I took what others would have seen as devastating and turned it into one if my why’s. I started with his clients, which grow to outside clients, to stocking my meals in gyms, and juice bars.
When I noticed that my food was really making people happy, is when I realized my gift really did make a difference.
In 2019 I won best meal prep in Jacksonville Florida.
Now I have transitioned to meal prepping for professional athletes in the NFL. In 2021 when I received my first professional athlete is when it hit me that I have a niche to provide something that athletes need. Athletes are so committed to training that they don’t have time to stop and cook their own meals. This is where I get to step in and provide one of most key components to having a healthy career.
One of my goals is to become an athlete chef in other professional leagues.
