MOMables is a Mom’s dream come true.
How often do you find yourself digging through your kitchen trying to scrape together something, anything to stuff in your childs lunchbox?
Do you tend to send the same boring foods day after day?
Does your child bring back home at least half of what you packed for them?
Do they come home complaining they are hungry because they tossed their lunch in the trash?
MOMables will cure all of that for you. It’s a super simple program to sign up with. You can subscribe for 3, 6 or 12 months. {Bonus: All subscriptions in October will go towards the cancer treatment of a young boy named Joseph Scott} Once you join you will be provided with a weekly menu full of a variety of healthy choices in just the right portions. Each recipe allows for substitutions if you have a picky eater, food allergies or other dietary restrictions. Once you have looked over your menu for the week, they even give you a shopping list of exactly what you will need to buy for that weeks meals. I don’t think it could get any easier. Well, maybe if they were going to come do the shopping and packing for you but, we do live in reality.
I am actually going to be using MOMables menu in a slightly different way. The school my son attends provides lunch daily so I do not have a need to pack for him. My Hubby however, I pack him both lunch and dinner 4 days a week due to his schedule. Saturdays he goes in earlier and I am too lazy to get up and pack him a lunch so he must eat out EVERY Saturday. Luckily he is home in time for dinner that day. I pack the same exact things in his lunchbox for both meals every day. Boring! I also am really bad about packing him healthier choices and worse with portion control!
This weekend as we are making our grocery list I am going to print out my MOMables shopping list and take it along. Next week, starting on Tuesday I will be packing according to the plan. Obviously, with him needing 2 meals a day, I will be alternating the weeks items to each be used more than once. I will NOT pack two of the same meals the same day. I will do my best to take pictures of his meals each day & report back to you at the end of the week how it has all worked out for us. Was it too time consuming? Did it simplify my morning? How did he feel about the variety of foods? Did he find them tasty? How much will I have to adjust the portion size to meet his needs? Was it cost effective?
If you have any other questions about how the program is working for us, please leave me a comment and ask! I will be sure to answer it in my follow up post.
Have you yourself used MOMables? If so, please let me know. However, I would love for you to save your thoughts on how it works, or doesn’t work, for your family until my follow up. That way my opinions are not tainted. We can chat and compare notes on that follow up post!!
I promise to come back and give you our 100% honest opinion about the program. We are really looking forward to trying it.
While I was not compensated for this post, I received a complimentary subscription to try out for my family.
