OK, get ready for your blood pressure to [momentarily] rise. It’s the end of a long day — whether you’ve been working in an office, getting sh*t done around the house, or a mashup of the two — and now you have to figure out what to make your [probably picky and cranky] kid for dinner.
DUN, DUN, DUN!
Then you’re in the position of deciding if you have the energy and ingredients to make a well-balanced meal. Or is it just one of those nights when you nuke some nuggets and call it a day? No judgement! We’ve all been there. But while they’re munching away, the guilt is likely eating away at you because god forbid you put your mental health ahead of your child’s nutritional health this one (or two … or three) time(s). *Gasp!*
Which is why we’ve become total proponents of meal delivery kits — both for ourselves and our kids. We’re obsessed with Nurture Life, as well as several others that are specifically designed for kiddos.
Our favorite thing about Nurture Life is that it’s developed by pediatric dietitians who make sure kids’ nutritional needs are met throughout their childhood. The company offers meals for kids starting at around 10 months old (when they venture into the world of soft solids), and it grows with them all the way through their school-age years.
Nurture Life’s menu is always changing, so kids don’t get stuck in a rut, and they get to try new things as their taste buds get more adventurous.
There are finger foods for babies (such as the bowl of pesto couscous, chicken, and carrots) or kid-friendly fare (try a pulled pork dish for dinner that has veggies hidden in the BBQ sauce or a breakfast meal of eggs, tater tots, and a banana chip muffin that also has secret nutrients). There are also smoothies and cookie-like snacks for kids with a sweet tooth.
Best of all, these low-sodium, low-sugar foods are delivered straight to families’ doors, meaning the only plan families have to make is which plan to get (do you want six, 10, 13, or 16 items per week?). Bonus: This back-to-school season, Nurture Life is running a promotion giving 50% off any new customer’s first week, plus free shipping.
Like we said, no-brainer.
