Have you ever watched videos of creative moms crafting their kids’ lunches with cookie cutters, forming adorable shapes and letters, and thought, “Yeah, right!”? While I admire those crafty parents (kudos to them!), many of us are just trying to put together a balanced meal that our little ones will actually enjoy—without all the extra fuss.
As a busy working mom of a toddler, my main priority is ensuring my child receives the nutrition necessary for growth and development. A secondary goal, though still important, is to cultivate an adventurous eater who enjoys trying new foods. Meal planning can be incredibly time-consuming, and during hectic weekdays, providing my family with a nutritious meal often feels overwhelming. That’s why I was thrilled to find Yumble, a subscription meal service tailored specifically for kids.
Yumble offers a diverse and rotating menu of wholesome meals ready to eat in under two minutes (some just need a quick warm-up in the microwave, while others can be enjoyed straight from the fridge!). Their kid-friendly dishes are packed with whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and healthy proteins—all bursting with flavor.
What I particularly appreciate about Yumble is that their offerings extend beyond dinner. They also provide breakfast options and quick snacks. On those especially busy mornings when my son heads to daycare, we can ensure he starts his day right with a nutritious meal like the Bacon Scramble Breakfast Bowl. And for parents with older children, the no-heat meals, such as the Chicken N’ Cheddar Sandwich Meal, make for the simplest packed lunch ever—no sandwich making or cutting required.
Although Yumble meals are designed for children, they are also delicious enough for adults (trust me, I’ve indulged in a few myself!). Dishes like the Vegetarian Bean Burrito and Sweet Sticky Rice & Chicken are easy for little hands to eat but interesting enough to excite young taste buds. This helps teach children that trying new foods can be both tasty and enjoyable!
Another plus for parents is the flexibility of Yumble’s meal plans. You can opt for 4, 6, 8, or even 16 meals per week, selecting the menu items your child will love. If needed, you can pause your subscription for a week or cancel at any time (though you probably won’t want to!).
Meal planning is challenging, but planning meals for kids? That’s a whole different level of difficulty. With Yumble, I feel confident knowing my son is receiving balanced, healthy meals—and that’s one worry I can take off my plate.
