As a parent, I’ve noticed my toddler now eats better than I do, and here’s why.
The days of jarred baby food and plastic puree pouches are fading away. We’re entering an era where fresh, nutritious, and delicious meals for kids can be delivered to your doorstep with no preparation required.
One of the companies leading this change is Little Spoon, a New York City-based startup. A fellow mom described it as a “Michelin-level dining experience” for kids.
The founders of Little Spoon aimed to create a product that would appeal to both picky eaters and their equally selective parents.
“We are dedicated to creating products that cater to modern parents who prioritize quality and nutrition for their children,” said Angela Vranich, co-founder and chief product officer of Little Spoon.
Since its 2017 launch, Little Spoon has gained a loyal following on social media, with celebrities like Ashley Tisdale and Melissa Joan Hart showing their support. In February 2024, the brand became the first U.S. baby food company to adopt EU-aligned safety standards for its Babyblends.
Curious about the brand, I decided to test it out myself — was Little Spoon truly worth the hype, or just overrated?
