We Tried Little Spoon Biteables, and Here’s What We Thought

I can remember a time only a month ago where Evy wasn’t interested in solid foods. I would offer her a small morsel, and she would quickly push it out of her mouth, a grimace on her face. Then, almost overnight, she decided she wanted to eat what the adults around her were eating and began to reach for my food. At that point, she was willing to try everything, but I found myself having difficulty keeping up with her changing dietary demands.

I had seen ads for Little Spoon and had joined their private Facebook group back when I first had Evy so I could ask all my burning questions about feeding baby. I was worried that their meal options wouldn’t be quite right for Evy’s developmental stage, but it turns out they launched a product called Biteables. Oh, and I should note: this post was not sponsored, and I don’t have any affiliate links on this page (although I’ll certainly edit this post if Little Spoon decides to hit me up with the opportunity).

Biteables is designed especially for babies in Evy’s age group who are making the transition from formula and soft baby food to food they need to chew. They deliver healthy meals cut in bite-sized chunks. Knowing I could cancel at any time, I decided to give it a whirl.

How much does it cost?

The pricing varies depending on how many meals you choose and what discount you’re lucky enough to snag. I’m paying approximately $44 for 9 meals. If it hadn’t been for Evy flipping her first meal over, I am confident it would have been enough for two meals. So, each meal costs approximately $2.50. When you consider that one packet of baby food costs $2, I don’t think this is too bad, especially consider Evy’s reaction to these meals.

Update: Once my pricing increased to the full, normal cost, the meals cost approximately $5 - $9 each. While it was a helpful solution in the shortterm, it doesn’t make sense as Evy continues to grow and her teeth come in. Plus, she’s not a picky eater so I like exposing her to the same things I eat (minus any sushi or raw items!) to expand her palette.

Can you customize the meal selections?

Yes! And I was grateful for this option because it allowed me to pick some safer meals to start. As Evy gets used to Biteables, we can expand our palette and introduce new foods. Depending on your delivery schedule, you’ll have a set date by which you need to customize your selections for the upcoming delivery, which is similar to many meal plan options.

Is it healthy & appetizing?

These are frozen meals that offer healthy, kid-friendly options. While I’m not a dietician, I took a bite, and it did not taste salty or processed. In fact, it tasted home-cooked to me.

Importantly, Evy loved everything on her plate. We started with the Mini Cheesy Pasta. Since I’m a fan of Mac N’ Cheese, I thought she might be too. She also loved the bite-sized carrots and even the broccoli bites.

Would I recommend?

I’ve canceled a lot of meal delivery services in my time because I was dissatisfied with their offering, but this one is a keeper in my book. The meals were delivered on time and packed extremely well in the cutest little trays. Evy enjoyed eating it, and I felt good knowing I was giving her a healthy meal.

But the best part? The ease of preparing the meal - and her enjoyment of it - allowed me to enjoy what I find to be special bonding time with my baby girl. I love feeding her, and Biteables made the experience that much more special. So yes, if it’s in the budget, I highly recommend Biteables.
