- Little Chunks Toddler Meal Prep – San Marcos

Mia began meal-prepping for her toddler in 2018 because she was unsatisfied with the baby and toddler food available in grocery stores.

She began preparing weekly meals for her toddler with healthy, nutritionally balanced foods with no added seasonings or salt, diced small and cooked to just the right softness for toddlers.
She started Little Chunks to help other busy moms and their little ones have a ready-made healthy mealtimes option. Learn more about the menu here.
