Let’s be honest—back to school season is chaotic. Between shopping, drop-offs, and doing all the things, it can feel like there’s zero time left to feed your kids something besides goldfish crackers and leftover mac & cheese. As a military spouse and mom constantly on the go, I get it.
But this year? I’m not spiraling—I’ve got Little Spoon. 💁♀️
If you haven’t heard of Little Spoon yet, let me put you on: it’s a game-changing mealtime service that delivers kid-friendly, nutrition-packed meals, snacks, smoothies, and lunch kits straight to your door. Think: no artificial junk, hidden veggies (that actually taste good), and zero stress over what’s going in your kiddo’s lunchbox.
Here’s why I’m fully obsessed—and why Little Spoon is about to be your new school-year sanity saver.
Ready to Eat Meals in a Matter of Seconds
These aren’t your average kid’s meals. Little Spoon Plates are made with real ingredients, ready in 90 seconds, and (best part?) picky eater approved. We’re talking crave-worthy flavors like Chicken Super Nuggets, Spaghetti and Meatballs, and cheesy Broccoli Bites that my daughter devours—without knowing they’re packed with hidden veggies and superfoods.
For a mom constantly juggling solo bedtime routines, unpredictable schedules, and late-night packing lists, knowing dinner is already handled? That’s priceless. Just pop a Plate in the microwave or oven, serve, and boom—healthy mealtime without the meltdown.
2. Healthy Meets Convenient—No Compromises
Little Spoon understands that “easy” shouldn’t mean “processed.” Every Plate has hidden veggies and less than 500mg of sodium. There are also tons of vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free options. These meals are crafted with care (they even work with pediatricians and nutritionists), so I can trust what’s going on my kid’s plate, even when I’m too exhausted to cook from scratch.
From the taste to the transparency, this brand gets that modern parents want better options without spending hours in the kitchen. It’s nutritious, balanced food delivered to my doorstep—because parenting is already hard enough.
3. Flavors Kids Crave, Ingredients Parents Trust
What I love most? The variety. Whether your kid is adventurous or super selective, Little Spoon has something that’ll hit the mark. Their menu has a ton of variety to keep things fresh (and help avoid that dreaded “ugh, this again?” reaction at dinner).
And because they sneak in those good-for-you extras—like hidden veggies and superfoods—I can feel good knowing they’re building healthy habits with every bite. No fighting, no bribing, just plates cleared and peace restored.
4. Extras That Make School Days Easier
While dinner is where Little Spoon shines, I also love their Snacks, Smoothies, and Lunchers for those extra hectic mornings—gone are the days of worrying about what to make and finding the time to actually make snacks and lunches. Between all three, you get lots of protein, hidden nutrition, and flavors kids love.
I toss a Smoothie pouch in my daughter’s backpack, grab a Luncher for a field trip day, or keep Oat Bakes in the car for after-school snack emergencies.
These add-ons are fun, nutritious, and full of the same thoughtful ingredients I love about their meals.
5. Delivered to Your Door = One Less Thing on Your Plate
Military life doesn’t always allow for consistency, but Little Spoon’s flexible delivery options? A dream. Whether we're on base, visiting family, or in between moves, I can pause, skip, or change my plan anytime. Everything arrives fresh, chilled, and ready to go—no last-minute grocery store meltdown required.
And honestly? Just knowing mealtime is handled gives me space to focus on what really matters: my family, my work, and maybe—just maybe—myself.
Final Verdict: Little Spoon Is a Back-to-School Essential
If you’re a parent staring down the back-to-school madness and wondering how to stay afloat—Little Spoon is it. Their Plates deliver dinner-time ease with zero guilt, and the whole system is built to support real parents doing the most.Whether you’re prepping dinner after a long day or need healthy snacks to throw in your kid’s bag as you rush out the door, Little Spoon meets you where you are.
