Frequently asked questions

What is Prep Performance Kitchen (PPK) and who is it for?

PPK is a nutrition system designed for school athletic programs, especially football. It provides standardized recipes, fueling cards, and operational tools to help teams meet performance and compliance goals. While built for football, its principles can be adapted for other sports as schools expand their nutrition systems.

Does PPK help with compliance?

Absolutely. PPK materials are built to align with school nutrition guidelines, making it easier for districts to stay compliant while supporting athletic performance.

What makes PPK different from regular meal prep?

PPK focuses on athlete fueling. Recipes are portioned and categorized for base athletes and linemen, ensuring each group gets the right balance of energy and recovery nutrients. Unlike generic meal prep, PPK is also designed with affordability in mind — standardized recipes and bulk‑friendly ingredients help schools stretch budgets while still delivering high‑quality nutrition.

How do athletes use fueling cards?

Fueling cards act as quick guides. Athletes can see what foods to choose before practice, games, or recovery sessions, helping them make smart decisions without guesswork.

Can PPK be customized for different schools or sports?

Can PPK be customized for different schools or sports? Yes. While the system is standardized for consistency, schools can adapt recipes and fueling cards to fit their athletes’ needs. The framework is flexible enough to expand beyond football into other sports programs.

How can my school get started with PPK?

Getting started is simple — schools order the PPK packet to access standardized recipes, fueling cards, and operational tools. Once received, nutrition staff and coaches can begin using the materials immediately to support athletes and expand the program at their school.
