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 box contains a mix of delicious, ready-to-eat meals and broths tailored for postpartum healing. For example, our Mater Homecoming and Mater Rising boxes include a variety of hearty dishes, while our Mater Elixirs Duo features our signature broths, such as the Vitality Shiitake Elixir and Brodo della Nonna, crafted for warmth, balance, and recovery.

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).

Yes, we offer customization options! You can add our popular Mater Elixirs to any regular Mater Box for an added boost of nourishment. At this time, we do not offer full meal substitutions but are always happy to answer questions about dietary needs and preferences.

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.
