To achieve a longer shelf life, we use MAP (Modified Atmospheric Packaging). MAP plays a crucial role in extending the shelf life of our packaging by negating the growth of bacteria in our containers by removing oxygen and balancing the environment with carbon dioxide and nitrogen. This extends the shelf life of our products to stay fresh for up to 10-15 days from the original packaging date without the use of preservatives or chemicals. MAP also allows us to significantly cut down on our food waste as a company!
About 90% of our meals are naturally gluten free and/or dairy free. In the store, look for "GF" and "DF" on the front label of the meal. On the menu, look for "GF" or "DF" next to the meal name. We are extremely cautious when preparing and packaging the food, sanitizing all tools and surfaces thoroughly between the preparation of items containing major allergens. However, if you have an extreme allergy, please note that our facility is exposed to all seven major allergens.
While we recommend consuming the meals fresh for the best flavor, you can absolutely freeze the meals. Just keep in mind that some things will freeze better than others - for example, cruciferous green veggies may not hold up as well due to their water content. Our bulk proteins and baked goods normally do fairly well with freezing and thawing. For best results with defrosting, let the food thaw naturally overnight in the fridge rather than using the defrost setting on your microwave.
$10-16 per meal depending on the components of the meal and protein type. Just like at a restaurant, beef and seafood will be on the higher end, and eggs and poultry will be on the lower end. Bulk proteins (usually 4 servings per container) are around $24-$28, and bulk veggies (3-5 servings per container) are around $8-$11.
The food is nutritionally balanced and made with quality ingredients. All of our meals are designed by our in-house Menu Development team to contain a healthy balance of macronutrients without sacrificing flavor. We're proud to use lean, hormone/antibiotic-free proteins, slow digesting carbohydrates, and heart healthy fats. We source our ingredients from local suppliers whenever possible.
Each meal has specific reheat instructions found on the back of the label above the barcode as well as on the item page online. In general, meals should be reheated for 1:30-2:00 minutes depending on the wattage of your microwave. Salads do not require reheating. Any sauce cups or packets should be removed prior to heating.
Most of our snacks do not require reheating, but muffins, brownies, and cookies can be warmed up in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or in the oven if desired (must transfer to a microwave or oven safe dish). Parfaits, snack bars, and peanut butter balls should always be enjoyed cold.
Yes, the containers and nutrition label bands are BPA free and microwave safe.
We use:
#1 plastics (CPET) for meal containers
#5 plastics (PP) for sauce cups / #1 plastics (PTE) for sauce cup lids (any sauce cups or packets should be removed prior to heating)
fit-flavors is aware of concerns around plastic, but faces logistical challenges in switching to alternative materials due to:
The need for extended shelf life (up to 15 days) achieved through MAP (Modified Atmospheric Packaging). This helps us cut down on food waste without the use of preservatives.
The cost of compostable containers is not currently financially sustainable for the business.
Plastic containers pose concerns primarily when heated; however, the meals are packaged in chilled conditions.
If you want to avoid the concerns with heating up plastic altogether, you can easily transfer the food to a different microwave-safe dish or plate.
Pactiv’s CPET food containers comply with applicable food packaging regulations promulgated by U.S. FDA in 21 CFR Parts 170 - 199. Unmodified CPET containers are intended and suitable for use in packaging and storing all food types under a range of conditions from frozen food storage to heating / cooking of packaged food. These products are covered by the US FDA’s conditions of use A-H.
Yes, but the food must be transferred from its original container to an oven-safe dish. Plastic meal containers are not oven-safe. When using the oven, we recommend reheating our meals at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
Pactiv’s CPET food containers comply with applicable food packaging regulations promulgated by U.S. FDA in 21 CFR Parts 170 - 199.

No, the meals are not organic. If we were to solely use organic ingredients, it would increase our prices significantly. We want to be able to keep our meals convenient and affordable for our shoppers.
For the most part, we use extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil in our meals. For some of our meals that aren't dairy free, we use butter or ghee. Occasionally, in Asian-inspired meals, we use a little bit of sesame oil for its flavor.
The only time you'll see any other seed oils in our meals is as a sub-ingredient of one of the smaller components of a meal. For example, the dried cranberries we use in some of our salads have Sunflower oil as a sub-ingredient.
Any questions or concerns you have about the quality of your food can be directed to our Customer Service team. Please call/text us at (314) 328-4246 or email us at info@fit-flavors.com. *Customer service hours are 9:30am-5:30pm Monday-Friday. All customer service inquiries will receive a response within 24 business hours.
The "best-by" date printed on the individual item's label is the last day through which we can guarantee quality and freshness for the meal. Some people are okay with eating the meals 1-3 days after the best-by date, but we always recommend doing so at your own risk. Always check for an off smell or appearance before consuming.
We take allergen cross contamination very seriously at fit-flavors. In our kitchen and packaging departments, the allergen foods are prepared last and separately from everything else. We ensure proper sanitation of surfaces and equipment as well as hand washing/changing of gloves between handling different allergens. Allergen foods are also stored away from all other foods in our facility.

Per health code, we cannot take any meals back to re-shelf/resell once they leave our facilities. The only case in which we will physically take the meals back is if we need to examine them to investigate the source of a quality issue. Any such meals will not be resold.

Our smoothies range from $5-$11 each depending on the contents and size of the smoothie. Fruit smoothies are lowest in price, while protein smoothies/shakes are higher. There is also a small upcharge for any added ingredients ($0.75 each) or protein ($1.50 to add protein to a fruit smoothie/add an extra scoop to a protein shake).
Our smoothies are made fresh to order by our store associates. We do not necessarily recommend saving them for later, as they will separate and become runny in texture.
For the most part, we use previously frozen fruit that has been thawed under refrigeration. Our bananas, kale, and spinach are all fresh. To achieve the right texture and temperature, we use ice in our smoothies. Reducing the amount of ice will result in a more thin/runny texture and will not fill up the whole cup for your chosen size.
Some of our locations lack the required space and plumbing setup that is needed for a smoothie bar. For that reason, we cannot add smoothie bars to existing locations that do not already have them.
Yes, you can give any of our smoothie bar locations a call to order ahead. We will ask for your approximate arrival time so that we can plan to make your smoothies shortly before you arrive, but understand that in-person smoothie orders may be prioritized. We can take your payment over the phone or at the store upon arrival.
Every Thursday from 2pm-6pm at our smoothie bar locations, we have our Smoothie Happy Hour! During this time, you can get $3 off any size smoothie. You can also redeem your rewards points toward any smoothie purchase at any time.
Our smoothies are made with real, whole food ingredients. No syrups, sorbets, ice creams, or additives here. Our fruit smoothies make for a great snack with plenty of fiber and vitamins, and our protein smoothies can additionally serve as a meal replacement, as they are nutritionally balanced.
For the most part, the sugar in our smoothies comes from what is already naturally occurring in the fruit. The only added sugars in our smoothies are in those that contain our house-made baked goods such as granola or brownies, but you can always request for us to leave those out of your smoothie.
Yes! We have an option to build your own smoothie, and any ingredients can be added (for an additional cost), swapped out, or omitted from our pre-established recipes.
Vegan protein is able to be substituted in most of our whey protein shake recipes, aside from a few that include whey protein flavors that are difficult to replicate with vegan protein. If you are avoiding dairy altogether, make sure to let us know to omit yogurt from any smoothies that have it as well.
Please keep in mind that if you request a smoothie without any fruit, protein powder, or ice, these ingredients are what give our smoothies their body and texture.
We can offer to re-make your smoothie for you (or make you a different smoothie altogether) if the texture/taste is subpar or not what you hoped for. For the most part, full refunds for smoothies will only be given in cases of quality issues.
If you had a less than amazing experience with our smoothies and the store associates were unable to resolve the issue for you, please reach out to our Customer Service team. You can call/text us at (314) 328-4246 or email us at info@fit-flavors.com. *Customer service hours are 9:30am-5:30pm Monday-Friday. All customer service inquiries will receive a response within 24 business hours.
If you have an allergy, please inform us so that we can wash, rinse, and sanitize the blender prior to making your smoothie and use covered fruit from the reach-in fridge below in order to avoid cross contamination. If you have an extreme allergy, please note that peanuts and tree nuts are used in our smoothie bars.
Allergen foods like peanut butter or non-dairy milks/baked goods containing tree nuts, eggs, or coconuts are kept away from where we store the fruit in order to avoid cross contamination. We always use separate blenders for peanut smoothies.
*Most of our smoothies, aside from fruit-only smoothies, are made with almond milk. We can easily swap out almond milk for you with any of the following liquid bases: coconut milk, coffee, pomegranate juice, orange juice, or just water.
*Whey protein is dairy based. If you are avoiding dairy but would like to try a dairy free version of one of our whey protein shakes, please refer to "Can I customize my smoothie?" above.
*Our house-made brownies contain almond flour and egg yolks.
*Our house-made granola contains almonds and coconut.
