We don’t know about you, but we’re still adjusting to back-to-school and the changes in our schedules. And although we’re all adjusting differently, we think trying to figure out dinner is one thing that we just don’t have time to worry about between drop-offs, pick-ups, practices, games…we just can’t right now. Luckily, meal kit subscriptions exist and we couldn’t be more grateful for one less thing to stress over.
There are so many meal kit subscriptions to choose from, and if you don’t have time to plan dinner, you don’t have time to research dinner. That’s where we come in! Parents, we’ve got you covered.
Dinnerly
$4.99/serving BUY NOWDinnerly prides itself on being one of the more affordable meal kit subscription options out there. They've created a kit with fewer ingredients per dish compared to many others, digital recipe cards instead of paper, and simple packaging, without sacrificing quality. Starting at $4.99 per serving, and, just as important, flexible enough to let you skip weeks and set your frequency, Dinnerly is ahead of the game when it comes to quality economic eats!

Tiny Organics
Starting at $4.66/serving BUY NOWTiny Organics is a meal kit subscription service that was created for babies and toddlers with a focus on "firsts". They're passionate about shaping the tiniest palates to love fruits and veggies, creating tot-sized meals with mild, easy-to-digest spices to elevate flavors, different global cuisine inspiration, never processed or concentrated ingredients, and zero prep for you! They're baby-led-weaning-friendly and recommended for littles 6 months and older or those who show "readiness cues" (consult your child's healthcare provider for further guidance), since these meals are textured finger foods, not purees. Tiny Organics allows you to personalize your subscription, so you'll get exactly what your baby needs!
