The Hungry Mama Package helped me so much after giving birth. I was exhausted, healing, breastfeeding, and barely had time to cook — these meals kept me nourished, full, and gave me real energy. Everything tasted homemade and comforting, not like typical frozen meals.

I felt cared for, supported, and it took away so much stress. Instead of worrying about what to eat, I could focus on healing and bonding with my baby. The convenience alone is worth it, but the quality is on another level.

If you’re a new mom or thinking of gifting this to someone postpartum, do it. It made my recovery smoother, my mood better, and helped me stay consistent with eating enough nourishing foods.
Truly one of the best investments I made for myself after birth.

Absolutely amazing quality & taste!! I was gifted these by my dad after our little girl was born!! They have been amazing, not just for convenience but also in healing during this Postpartum season!! So so grateful for the thoughtfulness of this gift and the products Restorative Roots provides!! 👌🏼👏🏻🩷

Honestly, the best money I spent for my third baby next to doula services. Docked one star for the steep price, but it was invaluable to have at least myself covered in terms of food postpartum. I am the chef of the family so if I don't cook, food doesn't happen. With each baby and breastfeeding, I am ravenous, having these ready to go nourishing meals available in the freezer was so relieving for me. If there's ever a fourth in God's plan, I will be purchasing these again. Thank you Restorative Roots!

The food arrived barely frozen and leaking everywhere. 😫 Hopefully since it was still partially frozen it will be good for the next couple weeks before I give birth but the boxes were soggy and quite the mess. One of the plastic seals and box of food was completely destroyed.

This meal package should be on everyone mom’s registry. As a mom of three, this was a life saver. Delicious food, well packaged and easy to reheat. I ordered one Hungry Mama Package and ordered a second box of 18 meals that I customized.

Only four stars because the box only lasted me two weeks. I was the only one eating the food and a number meals I had during the two weeks weren’t from the box. Nevertheless, even lasting only two weeks, it’s still a great deal for such high quality food, which is why I ordered a second box and would consider ordering a third!

I really wanted to love this. The concept is amazing. Warm, Ayurvedic-style meals for postpartum is exactly what moms need, and I truly appreciate the intention and quality behind it.

That said, for $495, it just didn’t feel worth it to me. The meals leaned more carb-heavy and not as protein-focused, so they weren’t as filling as I needed. Recently, their lactation brownies were removed from the package as well, which I felt like should be included plus more.

The meals were fine, but I didn’t find myself looking forward to them. Some of them were pretty watery after thawing, which affected the texture. I also tried a few recipes from their cookbook at home and honestly liked those better.

To me, the meal package would feel more complete if there were things like lactation snacks or more variety included, maybe some protein sides. Something that makes it feel a little more supportive and worth the investment.

I really respect what they’re doing and wanted to feel better about it, but based on my experience I wouldn’t repurchase.

I ordered this package shortly before giving birth for the third time. My only regret is that I didn’t have these meals for my first two postpartum recoveries!

It has been amazing having nourishing meals that follow the “First Forty Days” philosophy and require so little time and effort to prepare. I’m currently 4 weeks postpartum, and I feel that have regained core and pelvic floor strength so much more quickly this time around. I struggled with very symptomatic prolapse after my second birth, and was worried about having a similar experience this time. But my body has felt so much better during this recovery so far, and I’m certain that the high quality nutrients like collagen and organ meat in these meals have played a part in that. Not to mention that they help you stay hydrated, and are very easy to digest!

Breastfeeding is also going great. My baby is gaining weight quickly, and I’m so thankful for nutrient rich meals to give my body what it needs so it can keep nourishing him. I also feel like my hormones are better balanced than in previous recoveries. There are still some emotional swings, but not nearly the level of postpartum anxiety and depression that I’ve experienced in the past. It’s just been a great recovery overall!

And did I mention the meals taste delicious? I personally like to add a little salt to bring out the flavor, but otherwise they are great as is. If you have a big appetite, I do recommend having some meat on hand to add in to a couple of the soups to make them a little heartier and higher protein (we used deer burger.)

My only suggestions to the company for improvement are to label a little more clearly which meals are intended as breakfast and which are intended for lunch/dinner. We figured it out, but if you’re new to this style of eating and aren’t sure what a “congee” or “kitchari” is, it might be nice in the foggy postpartum days to have serving suggestions easily accessible! I was also a little sad that the Hungry Mama package didn’t include pancakes, even though they’re shown in the product image. Consumers should also be aware that you have to watch for little bone and cartilage fragments in a couple of the soups (I think it was the chicken congee I noticed this in.) It didn’t really bother me and contributed to the “home cooked” feel of the meals, but it could be a choking hazard if you’re sharing food with very young family members.

Overall, I highly recommend these meals to any postpartum Mama. They make it so easy to take good care of yourself so you can recover well and focus on taking care of your baby. I liked the products so much that I ordered a second box so I could keep using them as my primary meals for my whole first forty days of recovery.

I also LOVE that they make so many of their recipes available for free. I’m definitely looking forward to continuing to cook some of these meals on my own.

Thank you for what you do, Restorative Roots!

I’ve never done frozen meals because honestly, nothing could meet my standards. I follow an organic, GF, heme iron rich diet that is both Ayurvedic and TCM aligned. My husband and I did not want to prepare weeks of meals before our baby is born and this checked all of my boxes! I am hard to please and not only that the food tastes incredible. I’m really grateful for Restorative Roots! Thank you!

I have 1 container left and have loved this ( hungry mama package) and it has fed me for most of my meals for the past few weeks since my baby was born. I took out a few at a time to thaw in the fridge and my husband would usually heat up for me, as needed! I loved pretty much all of the meals, there was 1-2 that were okay but still good. All in all, this was the BEST postpartum decision I made to make healing/bonding/resting possible. I would 100% do it again and get extra lactation brownies - they were soooo good!!!

Truly a blessing to have good quality, nourishing meals postpartum that you only need to heat up! There were a few meals that I wasn’t a huge fan of and the price is certainly a draw back, but overall very thankful for the meals in this postpartum season!

I have not tried the food yet as i ordered it for postpartum, so cannot speak to the food at the moment. The packaging was ok - a couple of the packs were sealed and the rest were not; the shipping box was slightly crushed in transit so some of the seals were popped and containers were damaged when it got here. Hoping it does not affect the food but the lids do not stay well on the containers. Slightly upset with the cost of shipping that it came damaged as it is the highest shipping cost I have paid for any food delivery to date. I can write an updated review once I get to try the food, I have heard good things about it.

High quality food

Couldn’t have made it through postpartum without these meals. They’re a warm hug and were exactly what I wanted while going through the woes and highs of new motherhood. I’m so glad I found these before having our first in 2023, and will be ordering again soon for our second due next month! So looking forward to these tasty meals that are so easy for my husband to heat up. I honestly wish we could keep a stock of them at all times.

I ordered this to have on hand postpartum and it has been the best decision! This was my third baby and I decided to focus on postpartum care this time (we didn’t need any new baby stuff) and I would seriously recommend this to anyone about to have a baby. Having nourishing, healthy meals in the freezer ready to go has made it so much easier to focus on baby and breastfeeding. I wish I had known about this for my other two pregnancies! The food is delicious and reheats well.

When I say getting the hungry mama package was the saving grace of postpartum, I mean it! We ended up with an unexpected C-section where suddenly our postpartum care was a totally different reality than what we had previously prepared for… To have incredible nourishing and healing food at our fingertips without having to think about anything, felt life saving! The chicken congee the shatavari rice pudding, and the chicken curry were our absolute favorites! This will be what I gift anyone who needs healing support, whether it’s from birth or surgery or sickness. 30/10 recommend!

I actually purchased this for myself a few weeks before giving birth and it was the best thing I could’ve done for myself. It was a blessing to have nourishing food ready to heat up and eat. The portions were substantial and every meal made me feel satisfied and good. Will definitely purchase for friends and family in the future.

It is so helpful to be able to go to my deep freezer and pick out a delicious and healthy meal with almost all the same ingredients that I would choose to put in it myself. Unfortunately, I found out after ordering this package that I have to cut out dairy for my baby (which seems to be very common). I wish that instead of butter, they would just use ghee and tallow only in their recipes because then I wouldn't have to worry about the dairy factor.
I also wish there were a little bit more meat in the meals. I guess I’m a really hungry mama!

The Hungry Mama Package

Second time ordering these for our 2nd child, wife loves them and I can focus on other things knowing she’s well fed!

I gifted the Hungry Mama package to my sister in law, she is loving it and the meals have helped her healing and milk production! Feeding new moms the proper way is vital to their health! Can’t recommend enough.

The Hungry Mama Package

My husband and I ordered the “Hungry Mama” package in my last 6 weeks of pregnancy to try the meals before my delivery and postpartum. They arrived so quickly (2 days,) were well packaged, and all meals were so delicious and hearty! I ate them for my last 6 weeks-month of pregnancy and I felt I got wonderful nutritious and easy to reheat meals. They kept me full and satisfied. Not having to cook those last weeks/month of pregnancy really helped me stress less and prepare for our baby’s arrival physically, mentally, and spiritually. Will definitely be ordering for at least the first month or 2 postpartum which I feel will make such a difference in my ability to truly rest, recover, and feel confident healthy, nutritious meals for my healing and recovery are one less thing for my husband and I to worry about so we can focus on our sweet baby boy! Each meal portion served me about 2 big or 3 (still generous) portions. :-)

This package has EXACTLY what I didn't know I needed!!! Thank you for putting together the very best for all the new mamas!!!! I ordered my first package a little late and at week 6 postpartum, I still have a lot in the freezer and might just need to get one more round of this entire package because I loved everything so much. Thank you, again!

Truly love the meals. I wish they had a bit more protein added to Them But other than that, they’ve been lifesavers

My daughter just had her baby 2 days ago. I'm not there so I dont' have first hand knowledge but she tells me it's all good. Her husband is the one who has to cook the meals and he usually doesnt cook so your service is perfect for him. I told her to keep in mind that everything is nutritious so that helps to ease her mind while healing. The delivery went smoothly too I was happy about that. Thank you creating this business and I hope you have continued success.

Would 1000% recommend and order again. Made a huge difference in my first postpartum experience and I truly felt so nourished from the meals.

As a first time mom, I had no clue what my postpartum would be like but I wanted to make sure I did my best to fuel my body with good foods so that it could heal and also provide nourishment for my baby. Restorative Roots help to ensure I was well nourished for the first 2 weeks and allowed me to be able to focus on other things. The meals were delicious and always left me feeling satisfied. I will definitely be ordering again for future pregnancies and will be recommending it to friends.
