“While many parents strive to be the next Martha Stewart or Gordan Ramsey by cooking up a storm for their family every night, it may not always be feasible. So, having handy options like meal kits helps to take the guesswork out of mealtime,” says Melissa Halas, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, founder of SuperKids Nutrition, and a fellow Mama. “Family meals and cooking together is the best way to expand kids’ taste buds and spirit of adventure for new foods…[and] they are a great solution for those weeks when you just can’t add one more thing to your to-do list. ”

The benefits of using kids meal delivery services

For one, it can combat picky eating (and we know how insanely picky they can be). Halas suggests asking your little ones to help out when selecting weekly recipes. It’ll allow them to feel involved in their meal process and get them a little more excited about healthier options.

“The kits are also a great way to inspire children to get in the kitchen and learn about different foods—often bringing out their inner adventurous eater,” she adds.

Halas also mentions that meal kits can take the guesswork out of what your caregiver feeds your kids, or help parents who opt out of school lunches. “You feel good knowing a nutritious (if carefully chosen) yet ready-to-go options will be served. [And] for parents who have to opt-out of school lunches due to allergies or food preferences, meal kit deliveries can also be a huge time saver.”
