First, you register for the service by entering your name, address and a contact number or email. Next, select the age range your kid or kids fall into. Now you get to customize your plan by choosing how many meals you want delivered each week. The choice is usually something 4, 6, 8 or 12 and can involve more. You are then given a selection of meals to choose from, and this carefully created menu has been put together with taste, nutrition and health in mind. You select those you want and add your preferred delivery date, and pay.
