Company mission and core values

Precision Prep is not your typical meal prep company as we are not in the ‘change your body’ business, but rather the ‘change your life’ business. Precision Prep is an all-inclusive, body-positive, and health-focused company. We concentrate our efforts on the overall health and well-being of our customers and strive to make convenience and balanced nutrition our two top priorities. Our meals bring our customers much needed relief by saving them time and stress and improving their health, with weight loss or improved physique as only an added bonus.

We support our community through education

At Precision Prep, we realize the importance of education to sustain a healthy lifestyle. We don’t believe in short cuts like juice cleanses, diet pills, or extreme diets for fast results. We believe in teaching healthy lifestyle habits that result in long-term and sustainable weight loss. We are proud to offer this education through our public meal prep workshops, and holistic health coaching services.

We also partner with local colleges as a location for interns to get their required food service hours, and undergrad students for their required volunteer hours. If you’re a college or high school student in need of volunteer hours, feel free to reach out to us to learn more!

We recognize the importance of reducing food waste in the United States.

Did you know, according to current USDA data, that about 30-40% of the food produced in the United States is thrown away? That’s equivalent to about 133 billion pounds of food, or $161 billion dollars worth. As an environmentally conscious company we realize our responsibility to help reduce this astronomical number. This is why we keep our services pre-order only. By taking pre-orders, we can carefully calculate the exact amount of food we need to order, cook and prepare for customer’s orders, and almost nothing gets thrown away or wasted. Any left over food is sold or donated to those in need, and we even save our produce scraps to help feed farm animals and pets!

Meet the Founder

Owner and Executive Chef Lauren Evangelho, started Precision Prep in 2015 after realizing the need for convenient and healthy meal options in our community. As a former personal trainer, Level 1 Certified Precision Nutrition coach, and 10 year Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner, Lauren has always had a passion for health and fitness and decided to share her knowledge and passion with her community while providing a desperately needed service.

Lauren is a self-taught chef and entrepreneur and proud of it! She dedicates her life to continued education, personal growth and giving back to others to help their dreams become a reality. This lead her to open up her commercial kitchen to other food entrepreneurs and start the Visalia Kitchen Co-op (Visalia’s only shared commissary kitchen) offering other small food businesses a place to grow with minimal risk or investment, while providing guidance, resources, and a fully permitted facility to call home.
