Kidfresh, a frozen kids' meal brand with hidden veggies and real ingredients, introduced two new easy combo meals: Chicken Strips & White Mac & Cheese and Chicken Meatballs & Buttered Ravioli. These additions reflect growing demand from families for convenient, nutritious options that kids enjoy.

Designed to deliver everyday mealtime wins, both products combine familiar flavors with hidden vegetables and wholesome-label ingredients.

Chicken Strips & White Mac & Cheese Easy Combo Meal

A complete, protein-packed meal with 20g of protein per serving, featuring white meat chicken strips, made from antibiotic-free chicken and hidden cauliflower, and paired with creamy white mac & cheese made with mini penne pasta, mild cheddar cheese sauce and hidden pureed navy beans. Designed for busy families, it delivers balanced nutrition and a good source of calcium that's ready in minutes. Available in stores beginning in May.

Chicken Meatballs & Buttered Ravioli Easy Combo Meal

A kid-friendly meal with 14g of protein per serving, featuring bite-sized chicken meatballs made with antibiotic-free chicken and hidden carrots, celery and onions, alongside ricotta cheese ravioli in butter sauce, enhanced with a blend of hidden pureed cauliflower, sweet potatoes and fava beans for added nutrition. Available in stores now.

Both meals are made with the highest quality ingredients and contain no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. 

These launches are part of Kidfresh's continued brand evolution, focused on modernizing how families discover and experience the brand. In addition to expanding its product lineup, Kidfresh recently introduced an updated website, designed to make it easier for parents to explore meal options, access detailed nutritional information, and find helpful resources aligned with the "Win More Meals" philosophy. The refreshed digital platform supports the company's continued investment in helping families navigate mealtime with greater confidence and ease.
