I’m a Mom of Four Boys—Here’s How I Manage Meal Time

Let’s be real: Trying to feed four kids can be chaotic. As a work-from-home mom of four boys, trying to keep up with their different ages, stages, and picky eating habits was enough to make me want to hide in the pantry.

And let’s not forget about trying to grocery shop for four kids. To say it was stressful would be an understatement. I was constantly forgetting something and running around the store like a chicken with its head cut off.

So when I heard other moms raving about Little Spoon—a healthy meal subscription box for kids of all ages—I knew I had to try it. Here’s why it saved my sanity:

Little Spoon is made with clean and fresh ingredients

I know we’re all concerned about making sure our kids get the nutrition their bodies need. That’s why Little Spoon uses ingredients that are the best of the best. I’m talking about organic, non-GMO, whole foods that are free from any weird additives or preservatives. I never have to worry about any yucky fillers or chemicals sneaking their way onto my kids' plates. 

But here's what I love most of all: Little Spoon doesn't just stop at "healthy." They go above and beyond to make sure every kiddo can enjoy their meals, no matter their dietary needs. They've got gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian options galore, so even if your little one has an allergy or sensitivity, they can still chow down with the best of them.

They have options for all ages and stages

Starting with nutrient-packed purees for the littlest ones to early finger food Biteables and mix-and-match Lunchers and Plates for big siblings, Little Spoon takes all the guesswork about transitioning your kids to new textures and flavors. And because their recipes are developed by pediatricians and nutritionists, I never have to worry about meeting their changing needs!

Do you know how much time this has saved me? I’m no longer spending hours at the grocery store trying to figure out what each child can eat—I can get everything they need and actually like straight from Little Spoon.

My littlest boys love the Grass-Fed Beef Meatballs and Mini White Mac and Cheese Biteables, while my older ones love the Easy Cheesy Pizza and Chicken Dunkers Lunchers.

No more spending hours meal prepping

I’m a mom, not a short-order cook. And as much as I love my kids, I don’t always have the time (or energy) to spend hours in the kitchen prepping different meals. That's where Little Spoon comes in clutch: Their ready-made options are perfect for busy days at home or on the go! Just pop them in the microwave or grab them from the fridge, and voila—a healthy, delicious meal is served.

And with the convenience of delivery right to my doorstep, I can enjoy mealtime with my family instead of worrying about cooking and cleaning.

Even picky eaters will find something they like

If you've got a picky eater on your hands (and who doesn't?), Little Spoon is a lifesaver. Their meals and snacks are not only nutritious but also delicious—even my pickiest eater, Cohen, can't resist their Smoothies and Biteables. 

They have tons of kid-friendly classics that sneakily pack in a nutrient punch, like their Mac and Three Cheese that has hidden butternut squash and chickpea pasta. And with so many different flavors and options to choose from, I haven’t heard a single complaint!

My fridge is packed with Little Spoon

If you’re a busy parent like me who’s struggling to keep up with the demands of parenthood and everything else on your to-do list, I cannot recommend Little Spoon enough. 

With just a few clicks, I can order healthy meals that my kids actually want to eat—no grocery store runs, meal prep, or fuss. It's like having a personal chef and nutritionist all rolled into one, and let me tell you, this mama is here for it!
