Nutrition is never more important than during pregnancy and new motherhood. At a time when your ability to cook and prepare meals might be limited, your need for optimum nutrition has never been greater.
“I am so excited to announce my partnership with the fabulous boys behind NuKitchen, a healthy meal delivery service based on whole-foods in and around New York City. Mark and Bryan are truly committed to health and wellness, and this really shows up in the quality of the food. But their biggest priority is making sure everything tastes delicious! And it does -- fresh frittata, a feast-like vegetarian Reuben's sandwich and pecan-crusted Basa fish are among my favorites (along with the portion-controlled chocolate chip cookie - hello!). Expectant and new mothers get increased calories and snacks. If you're looking to lose weight, get in shape, or just need a helping hand -- the NuKitchen menus are a fresh, healthy and affordable alternative!”

Targeted Portion Sizes.
Weight management is an important part of the pregnancy equation. Whether you need to lose weight to increase the chances of conception, gain weight appropriately throughout your pregnancy or want to get back to your original post-pregnancy size, Nu-Kitchen meals are individualized to help you meet your goal. We personalize the program to meet your requirements perfectly.
“Five a day” Eating.
Nu-Kitchen delivers three meals and two snacks every day. Small, frequent meals distributed evenly throughout the day can prevent the nausea and heartburn that often accompanies pregnancy.
High in Fiber.
Adequate fiber can prevent and alleviate the constipation typical of pregnancy. Fiber is also essential for successful weight management and disease prevention.
High in Folate.
Adequate folate is crucial in the weeks prior to conception to avoid birth defects such as neural-tube defects. It is also essential for the creation of new, healthy body cells. Nu-Kitchen meals are based on leafy green vegetables, beans, lentils, whole grains, and nuts that are the best natural sources of this important nutrient.
Formulated for Growth.
With ample protein, B vitamins, vitamin C and zinc, Nu-Kitchen has been designed to provide the nutrients necessary for mom and baby’s growing needs.
Careful Fish Choices.
Just recently, the US Food and Drug Administration and Environmental Protection Agency advised pregnant and nursing women to eat limited canned albacore “white” tuna and avoid swordfish and king mackerel because of high mercury levels. Nu-Kitchen carefully selects fish that are mercury-safe so you can have confidence in the safety of your food.
