What “meal prep” means here
Meal prep is a kitchen cooking a planned set of portioned meals — usually a week at a time, often built around a goal like weight loss or muscle — and delivering them ready to reheat. That’s a different thing from ordering a one-off meal on a delivery app like Rappi or Uber Eats: those are on-demand restaurant orders, not a plan. Some of the kitchens here may also be on those apps — what puts them in this guide is the meal-prep plan itself, which you arrange with the kitchen directly.
Everything below is drawn from listings we’ve checked by hand (each carries its verification date) and links straight to how you order. Medellín is one of Latin America’s most popular bases for digital nomads, and its local language is Spanish.

The rated kitchens
Plan-based kitchens rarely accumulate public reviews the way restaurants do, so an independent rating is uncommon and worth calling out. These Medellín listings carry one from a named source:
Comida Fit
$$Fitness-focused meal prep with customizable plans for weight loss, maintenance or muscle gain — including keto and vegetarian options — plus smoothies and fresh protein products. Bilingual ordering via WhatsApp.
Alabama
$Homestyle and healthy Colombian almuerzos delivered Monday–Friday — pick your soup, protein (animal or vegan), salad and side, or a single-bowl option. The 20-lunch Plan Alabama lets you order any weekday at a fixed price with no lock-in.
What a week costs
Prices are set per kitchen, so rather than invent a single number we tag each listing with a tier and show what that kitchen charges on its own card — most quote in Colombian pesos, with the date we last verified it. The kitchens we list here span 3 tiers:
- $— the most affordable, often home-style Colombian.
- $$— mid-range: chef-cooked weekly plans, the bulk of the market.
- $$$— premium: organic or chef-driven kitchens.
We deliberately don’t publish a single “cost of meal prep in Medellín” figure — it depends on the kitchen, the plan size, and the exchange rate. Open a listing for its current prices. Because you order directly, there’s no delivery-app markup on the plan.
How to order
You arrange the plan directly with the kitchen, not through an app. Of the 8 kitchens we list, 6 give a WhatsApp number as their ordering channel; the rest take orders via Instagram or their own website. The usual flow: message the kitchen, tell them your goal, pick a plan, and arrange delivery.
Two notes. On language: Colombia’s local language is Spanish, and each listing shows the languages that service lists — a few note bilingual or English ordering, but confirm it when you message if that matters to you. On terms: payment methods and delivery days are set by each kitchen and vary, so check those, and that they reach your barrio, before you commit. Every listing on Find Meal Planslinks straight to the kitchen’s own ordering channel with a message pre-filled.
Where they deliver
Most kitchens we list give their delivery area as the city as a whole, so Laureles and El Poblado — neighborhoods commonly associated with the nomad and expat community — generally fall within it. The barrios and nearby towns that some kitchens name explicitly include Envigado, Sabaneta, Itagüí, Bello, Laureles, El Poblado, Belén, Guayabal, Centro, and Oriente. Coverage is set per kitchen, so if you’re further out, message to confirm before you commit to a plan.
How we verify these
Every kitchen here is a real, operating business we checked by hand, with the verification date on its listing; an automated scan re-tests the links weekly. Any star rating comes only from a named source like Google or TripAdvisor — never invented or self-reported. Where a listing states something specific (a price, a delivery day, a language), that comes from the kitchen’s own materials as of the verification date. Read our full vetting standard →
Frequently asked
Is meal prep the same as ordering on Rappi or Uber Eats?
No. Those apps deliver a one-off restaurant meal on demand. Meal prep is a planned set of portioned meals — typically a week at a time, often built to a goal like weight loss or muscle — that you arrange with the kitchen directly. A meal-prep kitchen may also appear on a delivery app, but what we list is the meal-prep plan, not on-demand takeout.
Can I order meal prep in Medellín in English?
The local language is Spanish. Each listing shows the languages that service lists, and a few note bilingual or English ordering — but that's how they present, not a guarantee, so if ordering in English matters, confirm it when you message. Across the 8 kitchens we list, 6 give a WhatsApp number as their ordering channel.
How much does meal-prep delivery cost in Medellín?
Prices are set per kitchen, and each listing shows what that kitchen charges (most quote in Colombian pesos, with the date we last verified it). We don't publish a single "cost of meal prep in Medellín" figure because it depends on the kitchen, plan size, and the exchange rate. The 8 kitchens we list span $ to $$$ tiers.
Which neighborhoods do they deliver to?
Most kitchens we list give their delivery area as the whole city. The barrios and nearby towns some name explicitly include Envigado, Sabaneta, Itagüí, Bello, Laureles, and El Poblado. Laureles and El Poblado — neighborhoods commonly associated with Medellín's nomad and expat community — generally fall within that area, but confirm yours before you commit.
Are there vegan and keto options?
Yes. 3 of the listed kitchens tag vegan or vegetarian meals and 2 tag keto or low-carb, alongside the high-protein plans that make up most of what we list. You can filter the full Medellín directory by diet.
How do you verify these kitchens?
Each listing is a real, operating business we checked by hand, with the verification date shown on its card; an automated scan re-tests the links weekly.
