Mater is a curated collection of nourishing, postpartum-friendly meals designed to support mothers through their recovery journey. Our meals are crafted with thoughtfully selected ingredients to provide comfort, healing, and energy during this precious phase.

Each Mater meal is specially created with nutrient-rich ingredients that support physical recovery, replenish energy, and promote well-being. We focus on ingredients that aid digestion, boost immunity, and help manage the demands of new motherhood, making Mater meals a gentle and nourishing choice while also being tasty and nutritious for the rest of the family.

Each Mater Box is filled with fresh, homemade and organic meals designed to nourish you in the postpartum period — or anytime you need extra care. The Week Box includes seven nourishing meals, granola, snacks, tea concentrate and broths. The Petit Box offers a smaller selection with three meals and one snack, while the 4-Week Nourish Program provides a month of seasonal, chef-selected meals delivered weekly. You can also order our comforting Broths or the One-Handed Snack Box — a mix of snacks made to be enjoyed even with a baby in your arms.

Mater meals are delivered fresh and should be refrigerated upon arrival to maintain their quality and flavor. Each meal comes with clear storage instructions, and most of our dishes can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for extended storage (usually we suggest a period of 30 days).

Many Mater meals are naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and plant-based. We strive to provide wholesome meals that cater to a variety of dietary needs, and each box includes a detailed ingredient list. If you have specific dietary restrictions, please reach out to us, and we’ll do our best to assist.

Most meals can be gently reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave, with instructions provided in each box. We recommend reheating slowly for the best flavor and texture, allowing each meal to warm you from the inside out.
