Little Spoon reviews and discussion

To be honest, I was a bit skeptical about trying Little Spoon because we're not a big pre-made/frozen meal family. But our 3yo has become a little bit more of a picky eater recently, and so I wanted to try out something else. Funnily enough, he really loved these. I think he liked the colors of the plates and just, in general, liked the meals a lot. He used to walk up to the fridge and pick one himself from time to time lol. I can recommend these as a backup solution when you need a quick meal. I am a little bit sceptical about the plastic that they are wrapped in and plated on. It felt a little bit odd to give that to a small child, especially in a time when we're trying to avoid a lot of micro plastics in our family.

I have tried all of the flavors of the Little Spoon smoothies and I found about half of them really good and one or two of them pretty bad. This flavor is the worst of them. They mostly taste pretty good but they are vastly overpriced.

The timing was impeccable for Little Spoon to have a Thingdrop while my baby was turning 5 months old. We will be exploring solids soon, and I don't have the energy to think about or purchase and puree what to feed my baby. I love the options that were provided with the babyblends, including harder to find ingredients like gauva, and then the more advanced combinations like pear, pea, mint or pear, beet, strawberry, chai and basil. This will allow me to expand her palette and hopefully make her a less picky eater than my other kid! For my 5 year old, I picked up the smoothies and yogos which incorporate some vegetables. She sees the vegetables on the actual smoothie packs but still continues to eat them so that's a win-win for me. I would love to see their more unique flavors like cherry berry chia pudding or peach berry bliss overnight oats in the store. They also have snacky offerings which I picked up - puffs and fruit roll up types of snacks. My daughter did enjoy the cookie and brownie batter dippers. They also offer lunch/platters for more advanced eaters too. I appreciate that offering but don't anticipate we'll be using that. Little Spoon is subscription based online and they allow you to pick and choose what you want to order and select the shipping. It's easy to skip deliveries as needed. They also partner with Solid Starts which offers some great resources for parents on how to start solids, etc. Overall, I recommend parents to look into Little Spoon for healthy and easy options to feed their littles.

I found their Strawberry Banana Shake Smoothies at my local Target in the produce section near refrigerated protein bars. They have to stay refrigerated and taste fresh. All is organic and I’d say you pay extra for the convenience and high quality ingredients. I will be on the lookout for deals!!

This is 3.5-4 star review for me. Overall I love the concept and a lot of their mission. Personally I find the online food subscriptions to be an absolute nightmare of a user experience that often times I just cancel (likely to happen for me here). Kiddo did enjoy the meals, but I do wish the babyblends offered options that included some type of meat. I probably should make this a 3 star review, due to their packaging and how the products are shipped. 8 of the containers in our order were smashed and splattered all over the place. They gave us credit for our next order, but truthfully I'm not sure that I will be placing a next order. Rather just go to Whole Foods

I am scared to admit that we tried Little Spoon as two adults looking for a quick snack around the house that isn’t junk. You heard that right: we ordered a box with no kids to share them with. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful these dishes are (given they are geared towards children with undeveloped palettes…but maybe that says something about my partner and me.) Each plate comes with a nice variety of little soft manageable foods for kids. The one thing I will say - if I were a modern day nervous parent, the fact that the microwave option involves heating these up sealed In their plastic wrapping would disturb me. They all say “oven preferred,” but I assume the parents who buy these are looking for something super quick and to me, that is never the oven. In a world of microplastics concerns, these would probably freak out many parents.

Honestly kind of disappointing. My toddler is not a picky eater by any means, and he does sometimes eat veggies, but I wanted to try these as an easy meal option for daycare days. He would not eat 95% of the foods. And this kid eats pretty much everything else — from sushi, to indian food, to a bowl of peas, to the typical toddler foods like nuggies and tots. The only one he liked was the pumpkin ravioli. He spit out the tots, fritters, and nuggets and refused to try others. I tried them and they're fine, but a lot of it ends up tasting identical (fritters and tots, for example). I also do not like having to microwave a plastic plate with plastic wrap on top — it feels like not the safest thing for littles. Even when heated according to instructions in a brand new microwave, it heated unevenly leaving some of the foods burning hot and others cold. And SO MUCH plastic waste. I also did not like how many of the foods were the exact shape/size for choking hazards (meatballs, for example, are literally the size of grapes). Lastly, I did not like that I couldn't just try one time (or try just a few things) without a whole subscription. It's overcomplicated. Great product in theory, and branding is nice, but it feels like kind of a miss in a lot of ways considering the audience is toddlers and their parents.

We purchased a ton of smoothies and snacks, including the Oat Bakes, Veggie Loops, Fruit Rippers, and Dipsters. Like many kids, mine enjoy snacks more when they come in a pouch. While they enjoyed some of the smoothies, I wouldn't say this is necessarily a preferred brand for them. The Oat Bakes remind me of a healthier Nutrigrain bar, and I think they taste great in that regard, but again, my kids weren't the biggest fan. They do really enjoy the Veggie Loops (the pizza one especially) and Fruit Rippers. I appreciate the nutrition of these products, but I wish they weren't as pricey as they are and that my kids enjoyed the smoothies more.

I originally bought this for my youngest son since he usually loves most products by Little spoon. I gave this a try to only realize these were a bit too rough for his baby teeth. However, I also have 3 other boys 5, 8, and 11. 5 year old didn't mind eating these but oldest 2 were not the biggest fan and asked if I could finish their baked bars. As a mom I really love all the ingredients in these bars. Pack of 5 was a great start when wanting yo try something new. For me personally I thought they were too sweet for taste wise but healthy and delicious. Unfortunately it didn't pass my boys test. Maybe for someone else it may work, for us it ended here. But we are still trying other products by Little Spoon.

We love little spoon! I was a bit hesitant about giving my child pre-made foods but these meals and the snacks are delicious, nutritious and healthy. It makes our evenings so much more peaceful not having to always prepare meals in a rush

I tried the same food from multiple brands and this is the one baby will eat. My guess it has to do with the freshness compared to a puree that cut just sit out on a shelf collecting dust and still be”ok”. I like the variety of flavors and ease of ordering. Working full time plus on-call and a spouse working strange hours this has been great. I would love to make my own but this has been a great alternative.

I wanted to be the mom who cooked and prepared all of my babies food. Once I returned back to work full time, I realized I may have been a little too ambitious. Little spoon blends is so convenient for home and on the go. My baby loves the different options and combinations available.

I first heard of Little Spoon when my sister in law had my nephew. I knew right away it was something I wanted to use when I had my own baby someday. I love the different & unique flavors/ingredients they offer to expand my son’s palate beyond what myself or my husband eat regularly. I had a lot of anxiety around starting solids & I love that Little Spoon offers different stages for when your little one becomes a more advanced eater. In the beginning, I could easily get 2 meals out of 1 Babyblend & if frozen they last for a long time. Their website is so easy to navigate & it’s super helpful that you can skip a delivery. You get reminder emails with the deadline to modify or skip your next order — also helpful! We started with Babyblends then tried the Smoothies. My son can suck a smoothie down I swear in 60 seconds. He LOVES them! We have now graduated to Biteables which I’m sure he will love just as much. In the off chance my son happens to not finish something I never mind finishing it for him because the food is seriously delicious. We did have one issue with some of our Babyblends being crushed/broken upon arrival. I reached out to customer service who immediately responded, credited my account & sent me a free lunchbox in my next delivery. Recently I forgot to enter a coupon code at checkout. I reached out to customer service & was told my order didn’t qualify for that code, but was given a different code that could be applied to my next order. Needless to say any time I have reached out to customer service they have been more than helpful. Navigating motherhood is no easy feat. Little Spoon is a no brainer for me. It has allowed me to have one less thing on my plate without the guilt because I know it is real, fresh food. I truly can’t recommend Little Spoon enough.

Love the ease of delivery! The flavors have been great so far! Only brand my son has eaten and loves them all so far. I have even tasted the baby blends and they are great. Super easy for busy families! Delivers to the door. You can choose what comes in your order ahead of time and don’t have to worry. Customer service is great for damaged items. They respond quickly. Only complaint is the the way they are packaged due to having received damaged one that were unusable. BUT customer service was great and gave credit to the next order.

When I (a 23 year old new mom who had barely any experience in the kitchen) had my daughter I was so scared for her to start solids. It was very important to me that she would have something fresh & organic (& CLEAN!) but also tasted good! I have always heard of all sorts of things about baby food brands whether it was recalls or toxic metals and I did so much research and found out that even the brands that are said to be clean & organic have a scary expiration date or have articles about them being recalled or containing those toxic metals. I was worried I would just have to make everything from scratch and with my little to no kitchen experience.. I desperately continued my search for the perfect clean, REAL baby food and ended up stumbling on Little Spoon through a mommy app so we decided to try it, I am so glad we did because it changed the whole game for us!!! My daughter LOVES her babyblends, they have become a staple for her mealtime! One thing I didn’t know is that they are customizable (which I found out through their awesome customer service by texting them!) so we love to combine some of our baby blends, her favorite is Mango + Sweet Potato with a dash of cinnamon, she absolutely loves it. It has also taught me more about foods and has inspired me to learn & become more creative in the kitchen! We are excited to try biteables next. We even have friends and family wanting to try LS for their babes! Thank you Little Spoon for changing the game!! ♡

We LOVE Little Spoon! I started ordering the baby blends for my daughter when she was coming 6 months of age. She has loved every single flavor! We transitioned her over to biteables a month ago when she reached 9 months of age & again, she absolutely loves everything! I just ordered her smoothies a week ago & can you guess what I’ll say next? SHE LOVES THEM!! I am so happy with this company, knowing the food I’m feeding my daughter is safe & fresh. Also, the packaging method for delivery is OUTSTANDING!

Starting solids with your baby is a scary thing from bad ingredients to worrying about allergies ! Little Spoon has made this entire process so EASY! I know I can trust the ingredients in the food that I am giving my baby which puts me at easy. Any questions or concerns The Little Spoon team reaches right back out and is so accommodating!! I absolutely love this company

My 1.5 yo loves LS and mommy loves it even more! Not only are groceries expensive right now, but cooking dinner after work all for him not to eat it was the most frustrating part of parenting to me. Thankfully we discovered LS and dinner (and lunch packing for daycare) became so EASY. Most importantly, they are slowly getting more dairy/egg/peanut free options which is HUGE because he’s an allergy kid and it’s SO hard to find food for him that is not only healthy but that he loves!

I cannot say enough about this company! In the past, I had used Yumi for our daughter, and while the food options were decent, the customer service was horrendous. So, when we had our son, I was a hesitant to try another baby food delivery service. We went out on a limb giving Little Spoon a try and have had a great experience. The food options are wonderful, the packaging and delivery system are seamless and user friendly and the customer service is impeccable! I have texted and emailed when I had a question or needed help and the response is timely and accommodating. Thank you, Little Spoon, for understanding parents are usually overwhelmed and for taking some stress out of meal times. Oh, and our kids love those little spoons that come with the containers. You guys rock!!!

My daughter has been eating purées from Little Spoon since 2021. She’s now about to turn 3 years old and still enjoys 3-4 jars of purées daily (she is autistic and has severe sensory issues, so purées is one of the main things she tolerates). And I can give them to her in peace, knowing they are organic, cold pressed, with no additives 👏🏼 I’ve never had a bad experience, a broken jar, or any issues with my shipments. I’ve recommended Little Spoon to all of my mama friends too. Thank you for providing the best customer service, having a fun sense of humor, and caring about the ingredients we give to our little ones ❤️
