Tough Cookies began as a small idea, born out of a desire to fuel the toughest athletes in the game. In 2017, pro boxer Mark Deluca approached his sister, Allie, with a challenge: to create high-nutrition meals that were both delicious and easy to eat during intense training. It was a request that was born out of a need to focus on training rather than worrying about food.

What started as a small service for a few elite athletes, soon became a go-to brand for a wide range of athletes, from professional boxers to amateur fighters, NFL players, college athletes and private gym members. They all came to Tough Cookies for the same thing: delicious, nutritious meals that helped them to push harder, reach new heights and come out on top.

But we didn’t stay a secret for long. Soon, people from all backgrounds started to take notice of Tough Cookies’ unique approach to meal prep, and we found ourselves cooking for busy working professionals, active seniors, and busy mothers too.

Today, Tough Cookies continues to evolve and grow, providing delicious, healthy meals to those with diverse goals, whether it’s weight loss, muscle gain, or simply maintaining a healthy diet. Our menu is constantly changing, and our client family is growing rapidly. But one thing remains the same: our commitment to providing Boston with better access to amazing nutrition.

At Tough Cookies, we believe that with the right food in your stomach, you can achieve anything. We’re inviting you to join us on this journey, to discover for yourself what it means to be a Tough Cookie.
