FAQs

- What makes Nurture Life different?
Feeding your kid is hard. You have to think about whether they’ll like it, how long it’ll take you to make it, is it nutritious, do you have the ingredients, have you already fed them this same meal 14 times this month. And the list goes ON. Nurture Life is the only baby and kids meal delivery service that helps you tackle every single one of your mealtime needs.
From our veggieful meals to our protein-packed snacks and fresh superfood smoothies, we prioritize balanced nutrition while capturing the flavors that babies, toddlers and kids actually want to eat. Our flexible ordering system makes it easy to choose food that fits your family’s ever-changing schedule—and so does the fact that everything can be ready to eat in 1 minute or less.
We’re here for you as your baby learns to self-feed. We’re here for your toddler’s journey into more variety and bigger bites. We’re here for your kid’s ongoing healthy eating habits. And we’re here for every time of the day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack time, we’ve got you covered.
Flexible, flavor-focused and absolutely uncompromising on nutrition. That’s Nurture Life.

You can skip a week, pause or cancel at any time! Create your first order by choosing a plan and selecting items from our menu. We start at a 6 item plan, but you can upgrade to 9, 12 or 15 meal plans to receive discount benefits up to $15 off your entire order.
Once you’ve ordered, we prepare your food and deliver it fresh, straight to your door, in refrigerated packaging. Our meals and snacks stay fresh in the refrigerator for a week after they arrive, and smoothies stay fresh for a minimum of two weeks. All items have use by dates on the packaging!
When your kids are ready to eat, simply pop a meal into the microwave and it’ll be ready in 1 minute, or transfer it into an oven-safe dish and heat it in the oven. Our snacks and smoothies can be enjoyed straight from the fridge—perfect for any on-the-go situation.
- What are Nurture Life’s nutritional standards?
All of our meals, snacks and smoothies are designed by registered dietitians, ensuring we always meet exceptionally high nutrition standards and follow our food philosophy:
- Delicious AND nutritious
- Veggies in every meal
- Good source of protein
- Real, organic ingredients
- Fresh, never frozenYou can feel good knowing we also have strict standards for what DOESN’T go into our meals:
- No trans fat
- No high fructose corn syrup
- No artificial colors or flavors
- No nitratesPlus, we keep sugar and salt low so your kid can enjoy the natural deliciousness of our real, clean ingredients. With every item we put on the Nurture Life menu, we’re raising the standard for what goes on your kids’ plates!
- Is Nurture Life picky eater-friendly?
Yes! We know that picky eating is an obstacle to healthy eating, so we’ve made picky eater-friendly meals and snacks that still maintain our high nutritional standards.
To find the best food for your picky eater, use the filters on our menu and look for the Picky Eater Fav banner. You’ll find a variety of deliciously balanced kid favorites, including Mac & Cheese with Hidden Butternut Squash and Chicken Meatballs with Spiral Pasta & Veggies. Many of these options smoothly blend veggies right into the sauce so your kid won’t even notice the veggies are there!
Nurture Life is also here to help your picky eater become not-so picky! Our menu features meals that can help expose picky eaters to new colors, textures and tastes. We recommend gradually incorporating meals from outside of our Picky Eater Favorites to familiarize your child with a wider variety of flavors. Remember that it can take 9–15 tries for kids to accept a new food, so stick with it! You’re doing the right thing, and patience does pay off.
Whether you order our kids meal delivery or not, we also offer a ton of picky eater resources for you to draw from. When you feel like you just can’t handle another “no” at the table, check out our helpful resources from experts on overcoming picky eating together or contact us at [email protected] for help from one of our registered dietitians!
- Is Nurture Life allergy-friendly?
All our meals, snacks and smoothies are made in a facility free of peanuts and tree nuts (except coconut), so we’re a great option for families with nut allergies! We also offer many items that are free from common food allergens like egg, milk, wheat, fish, soy and sesame.
Our kitchen does process coconut, milk, eggs, fish (salmon), soy, wheat and sesame. We recommend that you closely review our full ingredient lists and the “contains” statement associated with each of our meals if you have a family member with a food allergy. From our menu, these can be found by clicking on any meal for further details. All our meal packaging also includes full ingredient lists.

Picnic with children | What to take with you to nature with a child?
Have you planned a family vacation with children outside the city? Great idea! In anticipation of a pleasant pastime, discuss and decide what to take to nature with a small child. Prepare a list of everything you need for a comfortable stay in advance. Dedicate separate items in this list to things that the baby may need.
Try to think of a children's picnic menu, as small children may not like "adult" dishes.
Don't forget to bring seasonal clothes and toys for your baby. The chosen clothes should not hamper the movement of the child, he will certainly want to run. In summer, it is better to choose clothes made from breathable natural fabrics that protect against overheating, as well as from sunburn. Don't forget the headdress!
Take a change of clothes with you: panties, tights, an extra T-shirt, a pair of panties is a must.
Thinking about what to take on a picnic with children, take care of entertainment as well. Experienced mothers know that in nature, kids will prefer outdoor games, they will play in the sand with pleasure. Even at the age of 1 year, a child has something to do in nature. Instead of dolls and armfuls of soft toys, it's better to take scoops, spatulas, a bucket with molds and, of course, a ball!
Outdoor picnic for children: what to cook?
What should children take from food to nature? First of all, make sure you have enough water. It is advisable to wash vegetables and fruits in advance, so it will be more convenient for you.
A one-year-old baby will not eat shish kebab or fish soup cooked on a fire. Therefore, take factory-made baby products with you, because it is tasty, safe, healthy and fully meets the needs of the baby.
When you go out into nature, you cannot accurately predict the time of dinner. There may be delays along the way or the search for a suitable picnic spot may be delayed. In this case, it is advisable to provide a snack. For example, favorite fruit, cookies, or baby yogurt (at 8 months of age). Take a couple of juice boxes as well. Do not forget to place perishable products in a cooler bag.
What else do you need for a picnic? For children, it is worth grabbing their usual dishes and wet wipes. A favorite potty will also be useful, so the baby is more likely to go to the toilet. Take a small chair, rug or blanket so that the child does not sit on the cold.
What kind of food should a one-year-old child take to nature?
If the baby still eats mother's milk with pleasure, then feeding him at a picnic is a simple task. In the event that breastfeeding has already been completed, stock up on baby food.
Prepare food for a one-year-old baby immediately before feeding.
Take a jar of your favorite baby puree. Do not store them after opening.
Safety: what to take children to nature
Keeping in mind the possibility of minor injuries and bruises in the fresh air, a thrifty mother will collect a small first aid kit. It must include a disinfectant solution (hydrogen peroxide, chlorhexidine or iodine), a bactericidal plaster, a bandage, cotton pads and sticks, activated charcoal, anti-allergic drugs, a remedy for diarrhea and an antipyretic drug.
So that a picnic with children in nature is not overshadowed by undesirable consequences, take special means to protect against insects and the sun. If a burn does occur, treat the irritated skin with panthenol.
For the sake of your peace of mind and the safety of your baby, do not lose sight of him. When going out into nature, choose bright clothes for your child. So it will be easier for you to follow the movements of the little one, and it will be more difficult for him to get lost.
What to take on a picnic with children
We asked Olga Olshanskaya, director of the Tabris chain store, to help us choose everything we need to organize a picnic with children. So, we present the resulting shopping list.
Olga Olshanskaya: “When families with children go to a picnic, the responsibility for choosing food and collecting the necessary things increases. Do not forget the important, do not take too much, please everyone. In addition to food, protective equipment and toys must be on the list. All this can be bought in any of our supermarkets.
Meat
Whether you choose raw, marinated, or even barbecued meat, consider different tastes and remember that children are more likely to eat chicken. If a picnic does not involve a fire, it is very convenient to take grilled chicken. It will be packed in a thermal bag that will keep the bird warm, but even at the highest temperature it will not let it go bad.
Bread
Everything is in order not only during a traditional dinner, but also in nature. For a picnic, hot lavash made by the Tabris chain, which children love so much, is perfect. In the same paragraph, you can include baking - it is easy to satisfy your hunger after active outdoor games.
Sausages and sausages
Not all children eat barbecue, but many children like sausages and sausages. You can take sausages with you on the road for a snack and directly to a picnic to grill. Choose by studying the composition: without nitrates, preservatives and dyes. Try special grilled sausages, for example, the Il brand. It is better to take sausages for nature with a low fat content, such as Doctor's, made in accordance with GOST.
Vegetables and fruits
Tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet peppers - the minimum vegetable requirement. It is easy to diversify the list with greens and leafy salads to taste. There are more than 15 types of them in the Tabris network, and more than a dozen tomatoes. Grab crispy carrots and be sure to have fruit. Choose at your discretion - in the network there are only varieties of apples, as well as fresh seasonal berries.
When going to nature with children, there is a risk of taking too much extra. But it is still worth including toys in the necessary minimum. Children will be bored without them. Grab rackets, beach balls and other compact games for outdoor fun.
Cheese
Cheese on a picnic is the right place. And not only as a component of sandwiches of all stripes, but also as an independent snack. As in the case of sausage, it is better to choose cheeses with a low percentage of fat - for safe storage. For the children's menu, I recommend Adyghe, chechil straws and creamy light. Thermal bags are ideal for packaging.
Desserts
Children love sweet things. And in the fresh air, the appetite increases, so there should be a lot of treats. But not all confectionery products are suitable for transportation and storage at high temperatures. It is better to replace cakes and pastries with muffin without cream, lollipops or our marmalade. It is always tasty, bright and safe.
Water
Last but not least, drinking water. Here the rule “the more the better” applies, especially when it is already noticeably hot outside. If you want to drink cold, take care of a cooler bag. For children, I recommend taking special purified water in small bottles that are easy to use.
Baby food
Kids and picnics have their own food. It is very convenient to take ready-made children's meals, purees, juices to nature. Take several options to choose from. Turkey meatballs, zucchini and pumpkin puree, classic fruit and berry puree and fruit + cereal combinations have proven themselves well.
Insect Bite Remedy
To make your holiday memorable, don't forget about safety.
