Raised Real
Lennon is just a year old but I already consider him to be a “Baby Foodie.” You’d never guess from looking at him because he’s so small but he LOVES to eat! Not just your typical baby foods but things like meat, kale and sushi—raw sushi! I didn't try raw fish until I was nearly 30.
I’m very fortunate that Lennon eats mostly everything my husband and I do, just cut up a bit smaller. The only time I find myself struggling with his meals is when we are traveling or on the go. He can't always wait long enough for our meal to come out at a restaurant (understandably since he's only one) or eat what is easy for an adult on the go like sandwiches or a salad. It’s also very convenient to have something healthy at home in the freezer or fridge that’s ready to go for Lennon when I just don't feel like cooking or thinking about what to shop for.
That’s why I love having Raised Real meals on hand. Raised Real is a curated meal service delivered to your door. This box of meals is different than most because it is scientifically designed for the needs of growing BABIES! Each meal is 4.5 ounces of organically sourced ingredients. Raised Real uses vegetable proteins and steers clear of foods that are known to cause allergies like gluten, dairy and soy. Foods are paired together for optimal absorption like Avocado Oil with Kale to increase the absorption of vitamin A.
Every box comes with 20 meals. The meals are individually wrapped, frozen and just need to be steamed or boiled before serving. My son eats his meals as finger foods but for younger babies just starting solids the meals can be pureed or mashed.
Included in each box are meal cards with ingredients, nutritional facts and info on what these amazing food combinations are helping support like brain development, immunity boosting and brain development. Even though my son is a bit young to understand all this information, I still enjoyed readying them to him at meal time. I want to teach him how important fueling his body with healthy food is. Raised Real is a wonderful way to EASILY bring these meals into our home!
Our Raised Real box included:
Cauliflower, kale, white quinoa, garlic and avocado oil
Carrot, apple, hemp seeds, turmeric and sacha inchi oil
Broccoli, green beans, chickpeas and avocado oil
Pear, ginger, cauliflower, white quinoa and coconut milk
Chickpeas, tahini, cauliflower and turmeric
I love introducing Lennon to foods that I wouldn't necessarily cook with and I try to avoid the easy pre made foods at the grocery store because often they are loaded with excess sugars and preservatives. To be honest, I had to google sacha inchi oil (an ingredient in our Raised Real Box) because I had never heard of it. Turns out it’s a “superfood” which makes it an excellent source for Omega -3 and Omega -6 and is also high in protein.
Each box of 20 meals is $95 and includes free shipping. There is no commitment or membership fee.
