Kidfresh

Kidfresh makes frozen versions of kids' menu staples like mac and cheese, chicken nuggets, fish sticks and spaghetti loops, with vegetables blended into every recipe. The meals skip artificial flavors, preservatives and synthetic colors, and use chicken and beef raised without antibiotics. The brand was started in 2007 by a pair of New York City parents looking for better meals for their own children.
