Much of the baby food on grocery store shelves is heavily processed with extreme heat so it can last for years on a shelf, and often has preservatives, additives and fortifiers. In the last two years, there has been a congressional report published on the quality of popular baby food brands, quantities of heavy metals and traceability concerns. Not cool, and not the quality nutrition our kids deserve.

At Little Spoon, we use an FDA approved food safety technique, cold-pressure, not heat pasteurization, to ensure our Babyblends and Smoothies are safe and stay fresh in your fridge for 14 days or freezer for up to 3 months. We source from trusted suppliers and farmers and our Babyblends and Smoothies are USDA Certified Organic and made with non-gmo ingredients. We work with pediatricians and leading experts to develop blends that fit every eating stage for your baby, from first bites and single-ingredient blends through to advanced puree recipes. Our blends serve as a great companion to baby-led weaning and our complex blends offer thicker textures and whole pieces of food as your baby ages. For on-the-go mealtime, our Smoothies are your go-to for easy meals. Purees are under $3 per blend and are delivered across the US.

Our Plates, a line of healthy toddler and kids meals, are made fresh and with a focus on balanced nutrition. Packed with veggies & superfoods, you’ll never find preservatives, additives or fillers in our meals. We offer vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and vegetarian options, plus a variety of cuisines and flavors — from finger foods to complete meals with sauces and new flavors for your kiddo to discover. Little Spoon is the best meal delivery option for picky eaters and we are constantly adding new Plates to our menu. Plates are under $5 per meal and are delivered across the US.

Our Smoothies serve as healthy snacks for toddlers & kids and the best pouch option for babies as an on-the-go meal. Unlike grocery store options, our line is cold-pressed, featuring 100% organic ingredients and offers a range of flavors your kiddo will love, with ingredients you want. Smoothies are under $2.50 per pouch and are delivered across the US.

We started Little Spoon so parents everywhere can easily and simply get fresh, high quality, healthy organic meals for their children. No corners cut.

We don’t currently offer a trial given the fresh nature of our products, but we offer small and extra small plan sizes that enable flexibility to try us out! You can pause, skip or cancel future orders at any time.

Plates are made for early finger food eaters through to big kid bites. We have intentionally created recipes that make it easy for parents to transition out of the puree stage into our Plates with pinchable, mashable tots, bites and finger foods that toddlers and big kids love, too. We also offer a range of Plates for more advanced eaters comfortable with using a fork, eating sauces and exploring new, adventurous flavors. Crafted for everyone (yes, even picky eaters love Plates!) with hidden veggies & preservative-free ingredients in every bite, Little Spoon offers the best meal delivery service for parents.

Our purees are made with pediatricians and nutritionists to ensure that we take into account your baby’s personal development at each stage. For very first bites, we have a range of single-ingredient and simple purees made for starting solids. As your child ages, we offer advanced blends that include more ingredients, textures and eventually, whole pieces of food. We also have a line of Smoothies, the best pouches for babies and toddlers as an on-the-go meal. Like our blends, they’re 100% organic, non-GMO and feature a wide range of ingredients.

If you are exploring baby-led weaning, Babyblends and Smoothies offer a great companion to ensure your baby gets the nutrients they need along the way. Our Plates also include a range of early finger foods that baby-led weaning parents love!

Your child’s health is our #1 priority and we will always be transparent about our ingredients, nutritional information and recipes. When it comes to your baby, we know how upsetting the recent congressional report on heavy metals in grocery store baby food was for parents. At Little Spoon, we have always done things differently. All of our babyblends are 100% plant-based, vegan and made with the highest quality ingredients, 100% organic and non-GMO. We focus on a wide variety to diverse your little one’s diet, we never use rice (high in organic and inorganic arsenic), fortifiers or additives in our blends.

We use cold-pressure technology as an alternative to heat pasteurization, killing harmful bacteria without the use of anything artificial. This allows our Babyblends and Smoothies to stay fresh in the fridge for up to 14 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Occasionally, we use a touch of organic lemon to naturally preserve freshness (the way you might squeeze a few drops of lemon on an apple to prevent browning).

When it comes to your toddler and big kid, our Plates are made with the highest quality ingredients. Like all our products, we work with trusted farmers and suppliers to offer your child the best. We do not use any artificial sugars, preservatives, additives or dyes, instead we utilize a Freshlock Seal™. It might look a little strange, but this vacuum seal allows us to keep our meals fresh without any harmful preservatives. It’s totally safe, BPA/BPS-free and locks in food freshness so your Plates last 14 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer.

We work hard to provide a range of allergy-friendly options for your kiddo. Always feel free to reach out to us at care@littlespoon.com or to send us a question in the chat feature with any questions on allergen concerns.

Typically, babies are ready to start solids between 4-6 months. We always recommend talking to your pediatrician to discuss your baby’s needs when it comes to starting solids. There are a few telltale signs that your baby may be ready:

• Sitting up with little to no support
• Strong head control
• Has outgrown their tongue thrust reflex
• Is starting to show interest in food and what those around are eating

Your delivery will ship out the week after your order is placed as long as it is placed by Saturday at 5PM ET, otherwise it will ship the following week. All future orders will ship every two weeks after that unless you make changes to the delivery schedule from within your Little Spoon account. All changes must be completed by 5PM ET prior to your delivery week.

Please note we are experiencing high demand, which can impact delivery estimates. The most up to date tracking information will be through the link sent to you on Tuesdays.

All your Little Spoon products can be stored in the fridge for up to 14 days, or in your freezer for up to 3 months.

Our Plates are designed to be heated in the microwave or oven, you can check out all the heating details by clicking on any Plate on our menu page to check out recommendations.

Our Blends can be eaten at a range of temperatures, whatever works best for your baby! To warm up your blend, we recommend putting the container in a microwaveable safe, shallow bowl of warm water and stirring until heated. If you wish to microwave, simply pour the puree into a microwave safe dish.

Our Smoothies are designed to be enjoyed cold. Feel free to take your Smoothie on the go with you for up to 4 hours without refrigeration. If you’re traveling for longer, we’d recommend bringing an ice pack or freezing your Smoothie to naturally thaw throughout the day.

Once you sign up for Little Spoon, you can modify your menu, update your plan size, skip an order, pause or cancel with ease.

The cutoff to make changes to your plan is Saturday 5PM ET. One thing to note, first orders cannot be cancelled, but can be easily shifted up to 4 weeks for flexibility. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at care@littlespoon.com or use the chat feature.

We’ve designed our meals for all types of eaters. If your kiddo isn’t enjoying their new foods at first, don’t give up! Try adding a side of something new, pairing with one of our sauces, and rotating in a new Plate — food exposure takes time, you’ve got this! Feel good about every Plate—we’ve packed veggies and superfoods into every Little Spoon meal to ensure a nutrient-dense meal, everytime.

When it comes to our Babyblends, whether your little one is trying a new ingredient for the first time or tenth, don’t give up! Try swapping to a new ingredient and returning at a later date. Your little one is developing and their taste will change! It can take up to 15 tries on one ingredient for your little to fall in love. Read up on our top Starting Solids tips on Is This Normal.

We rotate our Babyblends menu every few months, offering new limited edition blends that feature seasonal ingredients. Our line of healthy toddler & kid’s food, Plates, has new menu items each month, offering more and more options for your growing kiddo.
