Trifecta is a meal delivery company. It caters to athletes as well as those who are following different types of structured diets. The company doesn’t recommend or offer a particular diet. Instead, it supports other eating habits by providing precooked meals with high-quality ingredients and balanced nutrition.
A trio of entrepreneurs founded the company, including a brother and sister team and a software developer. Each had either some experience in the tech or fitness space.
Trifecta is based in northern California. Trifecta delivers food across the country.
What is Trifecta?
Trifecta’s marketing materials and television ads suggest that only performance athletes buy these meals.
