Our Story

Tough Cookies found its start in 2017 as a specialty food prep service for some of boxing's toughest athletes. Pro boxer, Mark Deluca (27-2), asked his sister, Allie, if she could prepare meals for him during his fight prep so he could focus more on training and less on food. When Mark would pull out his prepared meals at the gym, others in training would ask where he got his food from and if they could order as well. Tough Cookies started as a food prep service for some of the 'toughest cookies' in the athletic world.

Tough Cookies has always been a go-to brand for professional and amateur athletes who require high-nutrition meals that taste great. Some of the clientele have included NFL players, Boxing and MMA fighters, Collegiate and High School athletes, as well as private gym owners.

Tough Cookies did not stay a secret within the athletic community for long. Pretty soon, inquiries started to pour in from people of all backgrounds. The staff at Tough Cookies found themselves preparing meals for young professionals, busy mothers, active seniors, and almost everyone in between.

Today, Tough Cookies is a food prep service offering delicious meals for those with goals such as healthy nutrition, weight loss, and gaining muscle. The menu changes every month and the Tough Cookies family is growing quickly.

Variety is the spice of life, which is why our menus are updated monthly using produce and meats that are in season for the best tasting and freshest foods possible. In today’s world, food shopping with health in mind can still be tricky with all of the misleading labels and ingredients, that is why we provide a calorie and macronutritional information for every item on our menu.

Tough Cookies is proud to help in the effort to reduce plastic pollution in our oceans by replacing plastic containers and packaging with compostable plant fiber containers

The main cause for the increase in plastic production is plastic packaging. It accounted for 42% of all non-fiber plastic produced in 2015, and it also made up 52% of plastics thrown away.
