What this means…
Currently we’re busting at the seams in our current kitchen space and will be seeking out funding for a larger kitchen to call home. We will be taking the month of May off from production… no menus, no orders and no deliveries… This will help us focus our energies on getting into a sustainable place and make our service easier to access in the future.
We’ll be communicating along the way to let you know when we start introducing service upgrades, new menus, nutritional information and additional offerings. Please don’t hesitate to let us know your questions and thoughts in the process. All of your amazing feedback so far continues to help shape and make MamaKai better and better!

Please let us know your experience in seeking out and providing healthy nutrient-dense meals for YOUR family. We are taking this opportunity to improve systems and really understand how to make this the best service we possibly can. Thanks for being a part of that process!

About the Menus and meals
Whether you are planning for your upcoming birth, currently have a little one (or both) or just want to stay healthy with increased energy, our enticing menus will allow you to choose a wider variety of nourishing prepared meals each month, everything you’ve looked for and more.
You’ll notice that we give you a lot of detail about our meals in our menus. Here is a little further information regarding packaging to help you understand how your meals will work best for you when you get them home:
- The large tins and quarts of the main dishes are typically 2-4 servings. I pour 1 whole quart of soup or stew in a saucepan and my husband and I split that for a meal.
- Casseroles will come as 2 large pieces and could be split into 4 pieces.
- Meatballs are great for a meal or snack and will have 4-8 servings depending.
- Sides typically are 2-6 servings depending if you eat it on it’s own as a snack or a side to any of our other dishes.
- Salads are good for 2 people to have a large salad meal at one sitting – these are really one of my favorite elements of our service. I adore very hearty salads with lots of variety and they are super satiating with our dressings and fermented veggies!
Our menu of breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks and beverages are produced with locally sourced, organic, biodynamic or pasture-raised ingredients (as much as we can). Choose from our seasonally evolving weekly menus of hundreds of options that everyone in your family will LOVE.
All of the menu items have the following key elements at their heart:
- Prepared from scratch with as little to no processed ingredients
- Prepared in a manner for maximum ease in digestion and absorption of nutrients
- We use homemade bone and mineral broths anyway that we can, to aid in maximum nutrient intake (broths tend to bring nutrients in the body in the most absorbent manner) and concentrate on those key nutrients that are extremely necessary for a developing baby (calcium, iron, folic acid, protein and many more)
- Minimal use of known allergy/sensitivity causing foods such as gluten, soy, dairy, grains, legumes, yeasts and sugars
Sacred Foods
The following “sacred” foods are the backbone of MamaKai’s meals. Incorporating these “sacred” foods helps ensure mom and baby bounce back from childbirth safely and quickly, and everyone else in the family stays healthy and able to provide support.
