While there was something to appreciate about all the meal delivery kits we tested, we found that Nurture Life was the most balanced and flexible option for families with kids, particularly if they’re known to be picky eaters. Not only were the meals nutritionally sound and perfectly portioned, but the meal options struck a great middle ground between approachable and familiar while still encouraging kids to try something new or step out of their PB&J comfort zone.

Nurture Life is like a restaurant kids' menu, in ready-to-eat meal kit form. We loved the idea behind this fresh-made, never frozen delivery meal plan when we tested it a few years back: a bunch of toddler- and slightly bigger kid-friendly meals, from mac and cheese to spaghetti and meatballs to myriad variations on the chicken nugget. The meals are priced about the same as kid menu items, and each contains vegetables alongside the greatest hits.

If only we’d had Nurture Life’s Super Sammies back then — the new low-sugar, crust-free sandwiches are pleasing parents just as much as kids.

We’re obsessed with Nurture Life....[their] 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.

The 2023 Parents Best Food Awards are here and spoiler...Nurture Life won the Best Kid Food Award!

While it may come as a surprise, one in three Americans require at least some level of dairy aversion in their diet, and yet, the American diet still seems to have very little flexibility in accommodating those who either cannot have dairy or choose not to for health reasons. Fortunately, If you have a child at home who can’t have dairy, Nurture Life is a great go-to meal service. Plus, you can filter their menu for milk-free options!

Glamour rounded up the absolute best prepared meal delivery services to try now and rated Nurture Life Best for Kids! Making one nutritious meal can be tough enough, and having to put a second one on the table for young kids can sometimes feel impossible. That’s where Nurture Life comes in. The service focuses exclusively on dishes for children, packing each one with veggies and keeping sodium and sugar to a minimum. Tons of options include hidden veggies—its mac-and-cheese contains sweet potato—so that even the pickiest young ones can enjoy plant-based meals. Add extras like smoothies and snacks to each order to take care of the rest of the day too.

I am obsessed with Nurture Life’s Mighty Bites! I could eat these everyday. They’re amazing to not only satisfy a sweet tooth, they’re portable and they’re actually filling. They have fiber, protein and either no added sugar or very little added sugar (as in, for example, the only added sugar is in the chocolate chips so we’re talking 2g). Their ready-to-eat meals are also satisfying and tasty, especially their pasta options (which I’ve even eaten cold when I’m in a real time crunch).

Nurture Life’s meals are clean, the veggies are organic, and the meats are antibiotic and hormone-free. Nurture Life is ideal for parents with kids ages 1 through 10, with menu options including chicken dumplings, pesto and cheese ravioli, and beef taco pockets. The company is also known for its Finger Foods—freshly made, pre-cut soft veggies and proteins ideal for babies learning to feed themselves. You can even order snacks and smoothies for the ultimate grab-and-go sustenance. We liked that the information about the meals themselves along with pricing are viewable before you sign up. That’s not something you see with every meal kit company.
