Most parents will tell you that they don’t like serving their kids frozen foods, though kids do seem to love them. Sure, many kids are into fish sticks and macaroni, but they’re not the healthiest of foods by any means. Often loaded with cholesterol, sodium, and other junk, and lacking any nutrients, they’re nearly as bad as chips and candy.

But what if you could give your kids what they love while still giving them something healthy to eat? (Or yourself, if that’s what you’re craving, too?)

Kidfresh might be just what you’re looking for. The concept of Kidfresh was designed by a father who wanted quick, easy meals that his kids would eat, but were nutritionally healthy, too. Not only are these packaged foods 100% natural; they’re also filled with 33% of a child’s daily vegetable needs, which are mostly hidden in the food a la Jessica Seinfeld.

Designed by a pediatric nutritionist and a chef, the meals that Kidfresh offers include favorites like pinwheel pasta, mac ‘n cheese, cheesy ravioli, spaghetti, cheese quesadillas, and chicken with rice. While the meals may be frozen, they are high in fiber and protein, have a reasonable amount of sodium (under 20% of a child’s daily value), and are a good source of various vitamins, such as vitamin A. That’s not bad for a convenient meal—and it’s certainly better than a happy meal when it comes to satisfying your child’s craving for a fast favorite food.

One of the things that many people don’t like about convenience meals is that they are such a burden on the environment. While these meals are obviously packaged, they are BPA free and packaged in 100% recycled material, so that’s still a better deal than most packaged foods. Plus, the company is considered a socially responsible one, and serves as a sponsor for Save the Children.

Should we rely on Kidfresh to feed our kids forever? Absolutely not. Kids need fresh fruits and veggies, and continually hiding them in food so kids will eat them does them a disservice. Kids need to be familiarized with various types of produce and hopefully learn to enjoy it the way it is. However, this is a great meal to serve when they do want some macaroni or ravioli and you don’t want to give them that canned stuff that’s pretty much nutritionally defunct.

One thing that many parents are also concerned about is the separation of meals within a family. They maintain that one meal should be made to feed everyone, and I agree, to an extent. It’s healthy for a family to eat well together at mealtime. However, sometimes when you’re on the run, you have to grab something quick to make on a hectic day, between school or weddings or whatever is going on. And in my family, different people have different dietary needs. My daughter, who was premature, will likely always be slightly underweight, and we are encouraged by her doctor to feed her foods that are higher in calories. My husband and I, however, are overweight, and we try to eat low-calorie when we can, which obviously is not healthy for our daughter. Foods like this allow us to make her something quick, throwing in some fruit and milk to make it a complete meal, while we eat salads for lunch.

I’m certainly willing to give Kidfresh a try. If my daughter likes it, who knows? Maybe it will become a regular part of our week.
