Customer Love...

I wish I knew about Mama Meals before I had my first baby!  Postpartum is so hard as it is, and cooking is even harder. The oatmeals saved me in the morning and those lactation cookies are seriously delicious. I’m 9 months postpartum now and I still order meals! They are so hearty and quick to heat. I recommend this to every mom, especially right after having a baby.

These meals were a lifesaver during postpartum. I actually ate a few of them the final weeks of pregnancy since I was too exhausted to cook. My kids loved them too!  All the food is so healing, and cooked with such intention and love. It’s obvious Holly is passionate about what she does. I can’t recommend her service enough and so grateful to have found her!

Claire

Mama Meals was a lifesaver for me postpartum, especially when my husband went back to work. They were easy to warm up and super filling, plus the lactation cookies were a delicious treat to have throughout the day. It took so much anxiety away knowing I had high quality nutrient dense meals for myself ready to go so I could relax and heal with my babe. Cannot recommend them enough!

Dani
Orange County, CA

If you’re like me and looking for healthy, nutrient dense postpartum meals (that are also delicious) you have to try Mama Meals. Holly goes above and beyond with quality, which I highly appreciate. Every ingredient has a purpose. And she uses the proper fats and cooking techniques to make the most nutritious, easily digestible foods for mamas.

Jess

I reached out to Holly when my milk supply started to crash early postpartum. She gave me a list of things to help and whipped me up some amazingly tasty oatmeal and lactation cookies that were better than anything I had tried! Everything she made helped, and the lactation cookies were so good my husband couldn't stop eating them.

Nikki
Orange County, CA

It took me until my third birth to realize the power of having healthy, nutrient-dense FOOD is the first line of healing for a new mom.  Mama Meals was 100% the difference between my last postpartum journeys and the success I’ve had this time around. The meals are crafted with love, packed with great quality ingredients, absolutely delicious AND set me up for great success with having my milk come in!

Anna

Postpartum is hard, and trying to eat a healthy balanced diet is harder when you’re sleep deprived and getting to know your new baby. Mama Meals took all of the hard work off our plate (pun intended). It made preparing nourishing and delicious meals something we didn’t have to worry about, which was such a relief for me and my husband. He was able to be more present with us during such a special but exhausting time.

I had my baby 1.5 weeks ago and these meals have been an absolute GODSEND.  It’s all so delicious, nutritious, comforting, and best of all easy to make.  This has been my easiest recovery and I think a lot has to do with the lack of stress to feed myself.  Also, my baby has reacted well to everything!  Thank you Holly!!  I will order again!

Delicious and convenient

The meals are yummy, filling, and very convenient. You can taste that they’re nourishing to the body and it’s been so handy to make sure that I have something to get me going and keep me going during post-partum recovery so my husband can focus on taking care of my other littles.

Worth every penny! These meals are delicious and so nourishing

Worth every penny! These meals are delicious and so nourishing. Made a big difference in helping with recovery postpartum with my third. Would be the perfect gift for any mom expecting. Planning on ordering again!

Will definitely order again

These meals were a lifesaver my first week postpartum. They were delicious and easy to digest. I’ve already recommended to several people and my MIL bought for her niece who is due next week. Cannot recommend enough and will order again just because they are so tasty.

Helpful but expensive

My experience with Restorative Roots was overall okay. I really appreciated having ready-made meals during the postpartum period when cooking felt like a lot. The food was very soft and similar in texture, though, and I got a little tired of it. It’s also quite expensive—around $40 per meal for us—and we weren’t able to stretch the boxes as far as other reviewers mentioned. Still, having nourishing meals ready to go was definitely helpful during those early weeks!

Melina Arguello
Worthwhile investment!

My husband and I are so glad we purchased the starter package. It offered me nutritious, DELICIOUS, and filling meals my first week postpartum. I got 3 servings from most of the meals.

Great for first 2 weeks!

Wish we had ordered more!
Pricey but worth it for ease and quality ingredients. All meals have been flavorful. We have stretched them by adding coconut milk, berries, grains, nuts etc.

We have noticed that our baby's digestion (breastfed) has been better when mom eats these meals.

Glad I made the purchase as a post partum gift to myself (and my husband).

Me and some girlfriends gifted this to a friend a few weeks before her baby was born, and she absolutely loved it!

The postpartum care we all deserve!!!

Cannot wait to dive into these yummy meals and have the nourishing support I'm needing to help with our baby, nursing, and recovery PP! a huge bonus with ingredient sourcing and allergen free which was very important to us in planning PP meal delivery! Thank you so much for serving moms in need everywhere!

Very helpful to have post C-Section. We brought meals to the hospital and heated them up in the microwave. We also ate them for the first few days at home. We are down to the last box and missing them already. All of the ingredients are incredibly healing post birth! And yummy!

Perfect gift for new mom or investment in post partum recovery

Was so happy to receive my order from Restorative Roots as I navigated the first couple of weeks of my post partum recovery. I was so happy to reach into the fridge and have healthy and delicious meals already available. Everything is delicious and the portion sizes say usually 2, but I was able to get 2-4 out of them.

Loved it!!

Ordered the postpartum meal box for my daughter. It provided a week’s worth of food. The price is a great deal for the nutrition you get with each meal! The food was easy to reheat and tasty! One less thing for my daughter to have to think about while she was healing and bonding with her newborn. I would highly recommend!

Delicious and Hearty Meals

I got the started package, purely to try the food! I am not currently postpartum but I wanted to be able to honestly share my review with patients before recommending. I am VERY pleased with the meals! They have great flavor and leave me feeling full. I get anywhere from 2-3 meals out of each container. This would be a great option for anyone who is postpartum, but even those going through fertility treatments or perhaps post-endo surgery, would benefit from these.

The best postpartum gift a mom could get

If you are thinking about what to put on your baby registry, I would 100% add this one! This is one of the best things you could ask for especially if you don't have a lot people around you to directly help you out. It was the best thing to have ready made meals you (BUT REALLY YOUR HUSBAND) could easily heat up and enjoy. The best part was knowing it's nutritious and healing. 🥰😍

Nourished by Nature

I recently ordered the postpartum starter package and not only were the meals incredibly delicious, they were also super nourishing and healing from the inside out! The Very Berry Oatmeal and Primal Chili were top notch! Everything truly was super flavorful and gave me exactly what my body needed. I especially love the convenience of the meals. With a newborn and 3 other kids at home, this is exactly what I needed to help make my day run smoother while giving me the energy to keep up with each one of my littles. You can truly taste the heart and soul that goes into every dish! I highly recommend Restorative Roots!

Postpartum Savior!

This postpartum experience has been so much better than my first! I truly believe having nutritious meals (and a shorter labor) has been the key to feeling great. The meals are super delicious and easy to just throw on the stove and warm up. I took the advice of adding extra liquids and used bone broths. Would recommend for all moms or to give as a gift to a new mom. I had my family send us gift cards instead of buying gifts we probably didn’t really need.

Post-Op Surgery Life Savor

I searched for weeks a meal delivery company that would meet all my criteria’s of organic and gluten free for my Post-Op laparoscopic endometriosis/myomectomy surgery. These meals have been perfect for my recovery and healing! Everything is so delicious, nourishing, and filling. I can’t wait to share this amazing company with all the woman I know who will benefit from these meals.

The best thing for my postpartum

I had plans to follow the 5, 5, 5 rule postpartum: 5 days in the bed, 5 days on the bed, 5 days near the bed. However, during my home birth my baby had aspirated meconium, and he needed an ambulance ride to the hospital. He stayed in the NICU for 5 days, which means that I was also in the NICU for 5 days (going home basically just to sleep). Being up and so active so immediately after birth was the opposite of my plan, but being close to my baby was more important to me. I am SO grateful I decided to order Mama Meals, because in all the stress (physical and emotional) following his birth, my nutrition was the one thing that I knew I was doing right. Having these meals gave me the strength to do what I needed to, and gave me great comfort as well. My husband stayed with our baby for all 5 days, so I was on my own for cooking food. Thankfully these were premade, just needing to be reheated! Truly a lifesaver for me. And also, they were delicious! The rice pudding and sausage stew were probably my favorites. :) I would highly recommend Mama Meals anyway, but now I have a new perspective for how helpful they can be!

These meals were a lifesaver post partum! I love that they’re all clean ingredients and they were seriously all so delicious. Will definitely order again!

M

I am so satisfied with this meal kit!! I’m one week postpartum and have tried all the meals and finished most of them. I haven’t used these solely since birth, but they are such a treat to feel nourishing and support me in my postpartum healing and breastfeeding! My favorites are the oatmeal, the rice pudding, the chicken congee and the lentil stew. But all have been good! Thank you so much for making this product ❤️

Convenient and Nutritious Meals

Recently, I had my baby and these meals were great. How convenient to take it out of the refrigerator and heat it up meanwhile not missing a moment with my baby. I love that the meals are nutritious and healthy. However, the only thing I recommend is adding more protein. I added my own protein to sustain my hunger longer.
