If your busy schedule makes it difficult to make healthy food that your little one will actually eat, then Tiny Plates is for you. We offer a varied menu of flavorful, well-balanced, thoughtfully portioned meals for toddlers and kids — and yogurt drinks to help fill those between-meal needs! While our meals can be a great fit for any kids between the ages of 1-12, we find our sweet spot is somewhere in the 3-9 range, based on portion sizes.

When you need one less thing on your plate, Tiny Plates is here. We deliver locally-made, nutritious food that your kids will love, and our flexible ordering system makes your day-to-day easier – exactly what every parent needs.

All of our plates contain protein, fiber, healthy fats, fruits, veggies, and something fun! Our goal is to create a balanced meal with at least 9 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber.

Our meals are prepared entirely with Certified Organic meats, dairy, and eggs, and we only use organic olive and avocado oils in our cooking. Even our snack cakes are a component you can feel good about! They’re made with organic Greek yogurt, organic whole wheat flour, and contain hemp hearts for added protein. They contain less than two grams of sugar, which comes from being lightly sweetened from honey or maple syrup.

Our goal for Tiny Plates from the very beginning was to give parents a meal option that they can feel good about. We want you to have one less thing to worry about at the end of the day.

We take your child’s health and safety seriously. And at this time, as a newer business model, we don’t feel confident presenting meals towards families with food allergies and sensitivities. Our workspace doesn’t allow for us to take the extra precautions to thoroughly prevent cross contamination.

We know how many kiddos these days have dietary restrictions, and how that can prepare extra challenges for caregivers at mealtime. Therefore, we truly hope we can be a solution for you in the coming months or years, as Tiny Plates continues to evolve.

Please know our decision not to include allergy-friendly options is one solely out of safety, and not out of lack of compassion and understanding for these dietary needs.

Our nut free and seed free lunches are prepared without any added nuts or seeds, so that they’re safe to bring into nut-free campuses, but we still don’t recommend the consumption of them by children with direct allergies, as our facility can’t guarantee the safety of cross contamination.

At this time we do not have a minimum order for delivery on Sundays, but you must be in the delivery radius. If you would like to pickup because you are outside the delivery radius, please email us and we will see what we can do!

Deliveries go out Monday afternoons beginning at 5pm and finish up by 8pm. Meals come in an insulated bag with ice packs, which is already included in the flat delivery charge. They will be left on your doorstep (we will NOT knock as we know you all have sleeping kiddos!). A text will be sent upon delivery.

Customers MUST be home during the delivery window to immediately retrieve the meals and put them into the refrigerator. Arizona temperatures make it nearly impossible to keep meals at safe temperatures sitting outside, even when packaged in an insulated bag with ice packs. Which is why it's so important to track your delivery and to make arrangements to be home.

Yes! Through Tiny Plates for Schools we offer daily delivers to participating school campuses. Please contact us if you would like us to discuss a partnership with your school!

Our current delivery radius is 20 miles from the shop. Please email us if you fall just outside that and we can see what we can do!

We were considering making pickups available from the shop on Mondays, but weren’t sure there would be an interest. Please email us at jessi@tinyplates.com if you like that option! We are also working on partner pickup locations! Please let us know if you have any suggestions for that!

Yes and no. Our core menu offers a set of customer favorites that never change. These menu items and yogurt drinks are on our menu every week, ensuring that your kids’ go-to foods are always available (think our hidden cauliflower mac and cheese, teriyaki bowls, and pizza wheels!).

To keep things fresh, however, we also consistently introduce one or two more adventurous meals to the Tiny Plates menu. This means, every week, you can expect to see delicious new meals with creative flavors, clean ingredients and — of course — veggies on every plate!

This gives your kids the opportunity to try even more ingredients, flavors and textures — familiarizing them with a variety of foods and helping expand their palates from an early age. Between our core meals and our more adventurous ones, we always have a wide range of meals to be enjoyed straight from the fridge!

By giving us feedback on your order, you also have an important say in the changes we make to our healthy meal delivery menu. If you have a suggestion or request, we want to hear it at jessi@tinyplates.com.

Real food is perishable. All meals must be kept chilled at 41 degrees Fahrenheit or below. If packing in a lunchbox, we highly recommend PackIt Freezable Classic Lunch Box. Our meal trays fit perfectly inside them! Follow manufacturer’s instructions to ensure they’re brought to the correct temperature.

No prep work necessary! Simply place our Heat-to-Eat Plates in the microwave for a meal ready in 1 minute, or place them in an oven-safe container and heat them in the oven. Our Lunchbox-Ready Pletes Foods can be enjoyed cold. Our Yogurt Drinks can be savored right from the fridge with no prep at all.

For full meal info including use by dates and heating instructions, just check the packaging!

Our meal containers and fruit cups are made from BPA Free polypropylene plastic (#5) and recyclable through the Phoenix and Scottsdale residential curbside programs (please check directly with your city’s recycling program for more information). We want to be honest here – we aren’t proud of how much plastic we currently use to bring these meals to your doorstep. We have found it EXTREMELY challenging to source a more sustainable material that can better (or even adequately) meet all of our packaging needs.

Our main priority is bringing you healthy, locally-made meals that your kids will love, and we just haven’t found an option that allows us to do that without using plastic (at least not at this time). If this is an area of expertise for you and you feel you might be able to help guide us in a more sustainable direction, please contact us immediately! We would love to connect with you, and fill you in on the areas we feel sustainable packaging falls too short for our needs, so that you might be able to provide better solutions. If Tiny Plates grows to a certain size, we might be able to get custom trays made and have better control over the materials.
