Why Mama Meals?
"INDEED A NEW MOTHER IS JUST AS FRAGILE AS HER BABY.”
Postpartum, also called the 4th trimester, is a sacred time of physical healing and emotional adjustment. Moms must replenish lost nutrients, produce breast milk, rebalance hormones and bond with a new baby all while healing from the physical trauma of Birth.
Our ancestors knew proper postpartum recovery keeps depression at bay, helps build strong emotional connections, and can even prevent future illness. Societal pressure for Moms today to bounce back to their pre-baby body, productivity, and high-spirits is a sign we have lost our way.
The Postpartum Revolution is a movement to remember our maternal roots, to give new Moms permission to rest, recover, and bond, and to help them be the glue that holds a family unit together.
“LET FOOD BE THY MEDICINE AND MEDICINE BE THY FOOD.”
- HIPPOCRATES
Our Ingredients:
We pull from maternal care principles found in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, Weston A. Price, and The First 40 Days to create nourishing meals that are warm, soft, nutrient-dense, and easy-to-digest, exactly what a postpartum body needs.
Our food contains:
- Iron to rebuild blood
- Protein to repair tissues and support hormones
- Fatty acids to enrich breast milk
- Vitamins and antioxidants to speed tissue healing
- Therapeutic herbs & spices to combat inflammation and infections
We are 100% gluten-free, mostly organic, and always non-GMO. Grains are soaked using traditional methods to reduce phytic acid and increase digestibility.
We believe animals should be honored and respected.
Meat and organs from well-treated animals are the highest source of bioavailable nutrients on the planet. Think of how your great-great grandparents raised animals. Cows at grass on pasture next to chickens who pecked at bugs. They lived mostly outdoors, got plenty of sun and exercise, and were strong and healthy. We source meat from well-treated animals that lived a natural life. The cost is generally 3-4x factory-farmed meat, and worth every penny.
Check out our meat buying guide.
The only dairy used is grass-fed butter or ghee, and our sweeteners are raw honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar.
THIS IS REAL FOOD, NO PRESERVATIVES, MADE WITH LOVE.
