"Using
Mothers & Menus was so great for me. I lost the weight and
got the energy to get right back on track for my rehearsals
- while still nursing Eli. Thanks so much for all the amazing
vegetarian options - and for changing the menu as we went along."

| Mothers
& Menus is the only meal delivery service created
to support new mothers. And while we have grown to support
others – we still use a new mom’s needs as
our guidelines for creating our menus. Why? Because a
new mom needs the most optimal nutrition to keep up her
energy as she nourishes her baby. We start with an optimally
nutritious core menu, and then tailor it to |
|
your
needs, whether you are looking to cut down on refined
carbohydrates, need a vegetarian menu, are craving comfort
foods, avoiding allergens and more. If you follow a Kosher
diet, we are thrilled to partner with Park
East Grill to serve new moms the best
in gourmet kosher meals. |
|
| |
| Here are some
of the menus that we have designed based on actual client requests: |
| |
| Client:
"I have been eating so many carbs, and would really like
to cut down. I don’t want to go on a protein diet but
I would like to decrease the amount of bread and pasta that
I eat." |
| |
| Counselor:
"Remember that the first few weeks after delivery is not
a good time to make any drastic changes in your diet. You just
want to make sure that the carbohydrates you are eating are
complex and rich in fiber. Here I have included multigrain breads
and brown rice. If you find yourself feeling full – you
can always cut out a serving.” |

| Client:
"As a vegetarian, I find it hard to
eat healthy if I don’t have the time to plan and prepare
food. Ordering in gets really boring and it’s hard to
find gourmet meals." |
| |
| Counselor:
"It’s true that following
a vegetarian diet requires some extra planning, and your first
few weeks from home are not the best time to do that. The following
menu provides excellent sources of vegetarian protein, with
a gourmet touch that pleases the palate – which is equally
important." |

| Client:
"I am all for eating healthy, but I
remember from my first child that when I was tired and cranky,
I wasn’t in the mood for a salad – I wanted comfort
foods." |
| |
| Counselor:
"I hear you. Even as a nutritionist,
when times are tough cut up veggies won’t do it. Here
I have incorporated some creamy foods – mac ‘n cheese
and creamy mashed potatoes along with kale – a powerful
nutrient. Once you get your comfort fix, dig into your veggies
to balance it out." |

| Client:
"Normally, I will eat almost anything,
but while I am nursing, I want to limit my fish intake, stick
to organic, and avoid foods like dairy, eggs, peanuts, and other
high-allergens." |
| |
| Counselor:
"There is so much information
available today about the various effects of eating on our children
while we are pregnant and nursing, and you have to do what works
for you. In your menu, I have taken out dairy, eggs and peanuts,
added in spinach and salmon for extra calcium, and a fruit-based,
homemade energy bar - which works great on your nursing table
as a quick snack." |
