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.
Who is Nurture Life for?
Nurture Life is for busy parents who want more time in their full (and ever fuller!) daily lives—without having to make sacrifices about what they’re feeding their kids. We take the stress out of meal preparation by providing healthy, ready-to-eat meals that babies, toddlers and kids actually want to eat. We also fill those snack time gaps with protein-packed Mighty Bites and delicious Superfood Smoothies packed with three servings of fruits and veggies.
Our delicious baby and kids food is freshly made for all the little ones in your home. From babies who are just learning to grab at the high chair tray to active toddlers and kids who need a healthy, balanced meal to fuel them throughout the day, Nurture Life is a palate pleaser. Even picky eaters can find a favorite on our kids meal delivery menu!
We deliver meals, snacks and smoothies your family will love, and you get time back in your busy life—exactly what every parent needs.
How does Nurture Life work?
Nurture Life is a flexible, weekly meal subscription service that makes and delivers delicious, nutritious, premade meals, snacks and smoothies for babies, toddlers and kids. 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 frozen
You 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 nitrates
Plus, 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.
Does Nurture Life’s menu change?
Every week, we offer a core set of customer favorite meals that never change. At the same time, we keep things fresh and interesting by consistently introducing new flavors for your kids to try! We launch exciting new meals every 3 months and always have at least 25 Kids Meals, 12 Finger Foods and a selection of deliciously cookie-inspired Mighty Bites and vitamin-packed Superfood Smoothies on the menu.
This mix of familiar and new gives you a wide variety of nutritious meals and snacks to choose from, each containing a diverse range of organic veggies and antibiotic- and hormone-free proteins. You’ll be able to select the right food for your baby, toddler or kid at every stage of their eating journey—whether your little one is currently on an adventurous streak or is stuck in that “mac and cheese only” phase. Our healthy menu has something for everyone.
You also have a say in what comes next on the Nurture Life menu. We’re honored to be invited to your family’s table, and we take your feedback seriously as we consider changes to our menu. So please share your feedback with our team at [email protected] and remember to check back frequently to see what’s fresh!
Can I change meals in my subscription?

You can also customize your account to get the best recommendations! We make it easy for you to set your account and forget it, or if you like being more hands on, you can always head into your account and switch up your order or skip a week.

How to choose the right baby food

A child's menu may differ from another baby's diet, not only due to age, but also due to health conditions (for example, a tendency to constipation or a dairy allergy) and personal preferences. However, the first thing to consider is age. It’s also important to keep in mind that your baby’s diet should be free of added salt and sugar (14). Certain positions deserve some explanation.

Milk formulas

Designed for feeding babies. In fact, they are designed to become an alternative to mother's milk. For the full development of the crumbs, it is necessary that vitamins and trace elements are present in the composition.

Canned puree

Introduced from 4 months. There are fruit, vegetable, meat and fish options. Combinations are also possible. For the first feeding, it is recommended to choose one-component purees from vegetables or fruits.

Porridges

Porridges, as well as mashed potatoes, are recommended to be offered to a baby from 4 months. Thanks to the special processing of cereals, baby porridge is easily boiled, which significantly saves cooking time.

Nectars, juices

You can give your baby juice or nectar from the age of 4 months. As long as it doesn't contain sugar. If available, it is better to wait at least up to 1 year.
