Customer Love...

I wish I knew about Mama Meals before I had my first baby!  Postpartum is so hard as it is, and cooking is even harder. The oatmeals saved me in the morning and those lactation cookies are seriously delicious. I’m 9 months postpartum now and I still order meals! They are so hearty and quick to heat. I recommend this to every mom, especially right after having a baby.

These meals were a lifesaver during postpartum. I actually ate a few of them the final weeks of pregnancy since I was too exhausted to cook. My kids loved them too!  All the food is so healing, and cooked with such intention and love. It’s obvious Holly is passionate about what she does. I can’t recommend her service enough and so grateful to have found her!

Mama Meals was a lifesaver for me postpartum, especially when my husband went back to work. They were easy to warm up and super filling, plus the lactation cookies were a delicious treat to have throughout the day. It took so much anxiety away knowing I had high quality nutrient dense meals for myself ready to go so I could relax and heal with my babe. Cannot recommend them enough!

If you’re like me and looking for healthy, nutrient dense postpartum meals (that are also delicious) you have to try Mama Meals. Holly goes above and beyond with quality, which I highly appreciate. Every ingredient has a purpose. And she uses the proper fats and cooking techniques to make the most nutritious, easily digestible foods for mamas.

I reached out to Holly when my milk supply started to crash early postpartum. She gave me a list of things to help and whipped me up some amazingly tasty oatmeal and lactation cookies that were better than anything I had tried! Everything she made helped, and the lactation cookies were so good my husband couldn't stop eating them.

It took me until my third birth to realize the power of having healthy, nutrient-dense FOOD is the first line of healing for a new mom.  Mama Meals was 100% the difference between my last postpartum journeys and the success I’ve had this time around. The meals are crafted with love, packed with great quality ingredients, absolutely delicious AND set me up for great success with having my milk come in!

Postpartum is hard, and trying to eat a healthy balanced diet is harder when you’re sleep deprived and getting to know your new baby. Mama Meals took all of the hard work off our plate (pun intended). It made preparing nourishing and delicious meals something we didn’t have to worry about, which was such a relief for me and my husband. He was able to be more present with us during such a special but exhausting time.

I had my baby 1.5 weeks ago and these meals have been an absolute GODSEND.  It’s all so delicious, nutritious, comforting, and best of all easy to make.  This has been my easiest recovery and I think a lot has to do with the lack of stress to feed myself.  Also, my baby has reacted well to everything!  Thank you Holly!!  I will order again!

Unfortunately, there’s no one answer for everyone.

Some Moms are famished postpartum and eat a ton, and some not so much.

Here are some thoughts and feedback we've gathered.

If you're wondering how many servings per container, each container in your package is 28 oz, or about 1.75 pounds of food, which can go many different ways.

  • Chili Example: One container could serve two 14-oz or four 7-oz servings. This could be consumed as two to four meals by Mom only or one dinner for Mom, Dad, and another child(ren).
  • Oatmeal Example: Some customers say the 28 oz oatmeals were 3-4 servings for them.  So... one oatmeal container could be 4 servings (especially if paired with eggs or extra fruit) or two really big bowls of oatmeal.
  • Lentil Stew Example: You can totally add more water or broth to this entree when you reheat.  Some customers eat this as two servings (great for your first meal after baby comes), and some say they brown a pound of pasture-raised ground beef and mix it in!  This turns your 28 oz container into a much bigger portion, especially if you add extra water/broth and top with avocado.

We use 32oz stackable bamboo containers that measure 5" x 7" x 3.5" each, which can be arranged in a variety of ways. View the full FAQ to see examples.

We recommend ordering two to three weeks before your due date. 

The food is frozen and will keep in the freezer for several months.

Unfortunately we cannot accommodate special requests at this time.

We've done this before when we were smaller but right now it's just not possible.  

If you have dietary restrictions or preferences PLEASE email us and tell us what you'd like to see.  The more requests we get the more likely we are to add something to the menu.  Who knows, you might be the person who inspires us to add a new menu item and be the first to get it delivered!  We want to serve as many Mamas as possible!

Our food last several months in the freezer.

Mama Meals is REAL FOOD with no preservatives.  Frozen food can be kept for several months, but we recommend consuming them regularly.  We include a "freshest by" date on the container, but we've gone way beyond that and still enjoyed delicious meals!

We recommend thawing in your fridge for 16-24 hours.

Rather interesting legal regulations prevent us from telling you how we thaw them on the counter in a much shorter time period.  You'll have to figure that out on your own =)

Super expensive and most meals aren't tasty

I purchased for myself two weeks postpartum with the money gifted to me by friends and family. I don't mind paying for quality but most of the food was disappointing with little to no flavor. Only the chili had taste. I was sadly disappointed for the money I spent to have such little food and not many meals that tasted good. I love the idea but wish the quality matched the cost.

Made such a difference!

I purchased the starter package for my 3 granddaughters postpartum. All three granddaughters felt better as a result of Mama Meals and loved the taste!

Excellent customer service

I delivered at 37 1/2 weeks, so all the postpartum meals I thought I was going to prep were just a grocery list. So when I found Mama Meals, it was the best solution. I loved the concept immediately! Unfortunately, my shipment came during the biggest heat wave of the summer so far and it arrived a day late, two days of over 110 degree weather had left none of the dry ice and the bottom layer of the order soaking through the box and the next layer starting to crush as well. In my dismay, I emailed them about my order and they shipped a replacement. I was so grateful I had gotten the delivery guarantee! I found the meals easy to prepare, in eco-conscious packaging, and saved this unprepared mama from eating out a bunch in these early days of motherhood.
