Nurture Life Review: Service, Menu & Advantages

To get started, you simply have to check out the Nurture Life menu and pick the meals or snacks you want to get to your doorstep. The service delivers nationwide. The minimum order is 6 meals. 

After you place your order, the team registers it and starts working on it. You should be able to get your order within a week to a week and a half depending on your location and the date when you signed up. 

The gel-packs you receive with your meals are non-toxic. You can store them in the freezer and reuse them at a later time. 

All the packaging is recyclable, except for the gel packs and the seals. The jars, the paper sleeves, as well as the insulated liner that’s made of 85% recycled plastic bottles can be recycled in curbside recycling bins. The jar lids and the trays can also be disposed of in most curbside recycling bins.  The boxes that contain the meals are 100% recyclable as they are made of 85% recycled corrugated cardboard.

To order food from the Nurture Life menu, you need to go to the menu section you will find either at the bottom of the main page or by clicking on the menu icon at the top right corner on the same page. The menu is divided into three tabs: Kids Meals, Finger Food, and Snacks, and you can easily switch from one section to the other while placing your order. 

To make the ordering process easier, the meals in the main menu – the Kids Meals menu, are accompanied by different labels: New and Picky Eater Fav. The first one refers to the new additions, the latter accompanies the meals that are most frequently ordered and boast great ratings. Speaking of which, you will see that each meal has a rating of maximum 5 stars, as well as a short description of what the meal includes and its main features. There is also a ‘Grab and Go’ label that shows you can easily enjoy the respective meals on the go. An example of a grab and go meal is the Cheese and Veggie Box. 

Another way to make sure you get the right dishes your kids will appreciate is to go to the Top-Rated Kids Meals section where you will find the meals that represent customers’ favorite choices. 

Once you select a meal by clicking on it, you will be taken to a new page where you can choose how many meals you want to put in your cart: 6, 9, 12, or 15 meals. The shipping fee and available discounts are also mentioned next to each option. 

When you select your first meal, in case you don’t have an account, you will be prompted to a section where you need to enter your email address and start creating one. If you’ve already got an account, you can log in and complete the order. Placing an order can take as little as 3-5 minutes or even less. The order process has 3 steps: you select your plan, choose the meals, and proceed to checkout. 

Each meal you select from the menu automatically displays a comprehensive nutrition facts and ingredients list. Here, you can see all the ingredients the meal contains, the serving size, the number of calories, and a breakdown of the main elements the dish provides: protein, total fat, cholesterol, sodium, total carbohydrate, vitamins, calcium, iron, potassium. The description also features the ingredients that might pose allergy risks, as well as detailed heating instructions. 

After the team is done completing your order, you will receive by email a message with the order’s tracking number. 

Nurture Life is very flexible in allowing you to choose the meals your kids most enjoy. You can select anything you want from the many or you can simply define your preferences in terms of diet, quantity, and ingredients, and let Nurture Life select the best meals for you.  

You need to create a subscription if you want to enjoy Nurture Life meals. The subscription works on a weekly basis. 

By signing into your account, you can easily modify your order. From the Account section, choose the family members’ preferences you want to edit, and you can start modifying the meal types, special diet requirements, allergens, or the number of meals you want to order. To make these changes effective starting with your next order, you need to implement them before the order cutoff. If you modify your preferences afterward, all the upcoming orders will be tailored to your new preferences. 

After you place your orders, you can check their status in your account. Here, you will see your order history, as well as the scheduled date of the next delivery. 

The service works on a weekly subscription basis, and it can cover all the dietary needs of little ones – there are numerous meal options to choose from, including snacks and finger foods. The meals are suitable for kids as little as 6 months, as well as adolescents up to 18 years of age.

The menu changes on a weekly basis, but there is also a core set of meals that are highly appreciated by customers and that are always available. To variate the menu, the chefs constantly try to introduce new ingredients and flavors. Every month or two, you will find new meals on the menu and a wide array of options to choose from. Only in the Kids Meals menu, there are more than 25 different meals. The finger Foods menu includes somewhere around a dozen options and in the Snacks menu, there are currently 5 options. 

The aim of this service is to offer a variety of ingredients and different flavors that gradually help children expand their preferences, especially those who are rather picky and prefer to stick to the same meals they like. Moreover, the company is also encouraging customers to get in touch with suggestions on what they could do to improve their menu.

The Nurture Life menu contains dozens of healthy and balanced recipes that cover kids’ nutritional needs. The meals are developed by dietitians who specialize in kids’ nutrition. Each meal is meant to provide the necessary amount of protein, carbs, veggies, etc. The recipes the company focuses on don’t necessarily stick to a specific diet or cuisine. You can find a variety of dishes inspired by different cuisines such as Indian (Butter Chicken), Italian (Pizza Pocket, Penne Bolognese, Italian Meatballs), or even Japanese (Teriyaki Salmon).

Here are some examples of dishes currently available in the three menus, to help you better understand what Nurture Life recipes look like:
