Hey! We’re Boost Recipes (And We’re Here to End Meal Prep Stress)

Our Purpose

We’ve all been there. That moment the 3 PM energy crash hits so hard you can barely keep your eyes open. The frustration of trying a “healthy” trend only to feel more burnt out. The sinking feeling when you realize you’ve spent a small fortune on takeout this week.

For us, those weren’t just bad days—they were wake-up calls. Nancy was dealing with constant energy dips, Linda was exhausted by restrictive eating fads, and John was watching his bank account drain from delivery apps. We were all chasing a healthier life but felt like we were failing.

That’s the moment the idea for Boost Recipes was born. Not in a fancy test kitchen, but in our own real-life kitchens, surrounded by the chaos of busy lives. We discovered that the secret wasn’t a magic diet or a bigger budget; it was a simple, sustainable system for meal prepping. And it changed everything.

Our Mission

Our mission is to help you master healthy meal prep without the stress or sacrifice. Every day, from our kitchens in Michigan, Kentucky, and Massachusetts, we develop and test recipes and strategies that work for real, busy people.

We don’t just give you a recipe; we give you a system. A system for high-protein meals that fuel your active life. A system for stress-free prep that feels like self-care. A system for planning low-cost meals that actually taste amazing. We do this for the thousands of people who trust us to help them bring calm and control back to their kitchens.

Our Vision

Picture this: It’s Sunday afternoon, and instead of dreading the week, you feel a sense of calm. Your fridge is stocked with delicious, nourishing meals you’re actually excited to eat. You have more energy during the day, more money in your pocket, and more time to do what you love.

We’re working toward a world where meal prep isn’t a punishment or a boring chore. It’s your superpower—a simple routine that fuels your goals and gives you back your time and energy.

Our Core Values

These are the principles that guide every recipe and guide we create.

• Prep is Self-Care: We believe meal prep is a powerful act of kindness to your future self. It’s about nourishment, not punishment.
• Flavor is Non-Negotiable: Healthy food should be delicious. Period. We test every recipe until it’s something we’d be excited to eat ourselves.
• Systems Over Stress: We focus on creating flexible, repeatable systems that eliminate guesswork and decision fatigue.
• Budget-Conscious by Design: Great food shouldn’t break the bank. We build our strategies around practical, low-cost ingredients and reducing food waste.

Nancy L. Gonzalez – Nutrition Chef (The Energy Expert)

Based in Southfield, Michigan, I’m the person who helps you find joy in the kitchen again. I’ll never forget the constant energy crashes and burnout I felt living on processed foods. That struggle led me to discover how powerful flavorful, nourishing routines could be. Now, I share those systems with busy individuals through simple recipes and weekly guides that make healthy eating feel effortless. Have a question? I’d love to help: [email protected].

Linda J. Marasco – Healthy Prep Chef (The Protein Pro)

From my kitchen in Winchester, Kentucky, I focus on high-protein meal prep for active lifestyles. I spent years feeling burnt out and seeing limited results from popular health trends. The game-changer for me was macro-balanced, protein-rich meals. Now, I teach busy people how to build prep systems that are flexible, sustainable, and fuel their goals—from whey overnight oats to teriyaki tofu bowls.

John C. Gunther – Personal Meal Prep Chef (The Budget Guru)

Here in Needham, Massachusetts, I teach practical, low-cost meal planning. My journey started when I looked at my bank statement and was horrified by how much I was spending on takeout. I became obsessed with developing smart systems for prepping meals on a tight budget without sacrificing flavor. I help clients reduce food waste, save money, and reclaim control of their routines. I truly believe meal prep is a financial strategy disguised as a lifestyle. Let’s save some money together: [email protected].
