What your child's body needs
In every meal
The three big nutrients, the macronutrients, and their helpers. Every lunchbox in the app includes them.
Proteins · the building blocks
They build muscle, help them grow and make defenses: chicken, egg, fish, cheese.
Healthy fats · the brain
They build the brain and the growth hormones: avocado, fish, olive oil.
And their helpers: fruits and vegetables for defenses, calcium for bones, and water, always.

The formula
The 4-part formula I use in my practice
The lunchbox is the bridge between breakfast and lunch. With these 4 parts, it's complete: it covers the 3 big nutrients and their helpers, without you having to think about it.
- 1
Protein. The building blocks: helps them grow and makes defenses.
2Fruit or vegetable. The helpers: one of the two, in easy-to-eat pieces.
- 3
Energy. The fuel for the brain and muscles.
4Safe food. Something they always eat, so they sit down to eat with confidence.
Plus: a healthy dessert, the tiny taste of the week and water, always. Portions adjust to each child's age.
How it works
My formula, on your phone
Ready Lunchbox does the thinking. You just pack.
The 4 parts, plus dessert, the tiny taste and water. With a photo of each food and its portion in grams and in household measures for each child's age.
And also
Their allergies, always in mind
13 allergens plus any you add. Nothing it suggests includes them.
Recipes with portions by age
58 simple recipes, with how much to serve each child and their possible allergens.
Safe cuts
How to cut each food for children under 5.
Emergency lunchbox
It builds one from whatever you have in the pantry.
Your household, one account
2 kids and 2 adults included, each adult on 2 devices.
Phone and computer
Installs like an app, and looks great on a computer.

The tiny taste of the week
Why a tiny taste?
Many kids find it hard to accept new foods, and that's normal: it's part of how they learn to eat. What helps most isn't insisting, but letting the food become familiar.
The tiny taste is a way for your child to get familiar with a new food, little by little and without pressure. Over time, that helps them accept more foods.
The steps, no rush
- 1Sees it
- 2Touches it
- 3Smells it
- 4Tastes it
Every step counts, even if it comes back in the lunchbox. If after several weeks they still accept very few foods, the app suggests checking it at a visit.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to download anything?
No. It opens from a link on your phone and you save it to your home screen, like any app. It takes up no space. You can also use it on a computer. It will soon be on the App Store and Google Play too.
Does it work if I have several kids?
Your account includes 2 kids and 2 adults, for example you and the other parent. Each child has a profile with their age, allergies and the foods they always eat, and the shopping list combines them all. Each adult signs in with their own email and can use it on 2 devices. If you have more kids or want to add another adult, each one costs US$5 a month.
Do I have to cook a lot?
No. When you start, you choose easy lunchboxes, with almost no cooking, or moderately easy ones, with a few simple oven or air-fryer recipes. You can change it anytime.
What if my child eats very few foods?
Every lunchbox includes a safe food, something they always eat, and the tiny taste introduces a new food each week, with no pressure. If after several weeks they still accept very few foods, the app suggests checking it at a visit.
Does it respect allergies?
Yes. You mark their allergies once and the app automatically swaps any food they can't eat. Always check labels, and if the allergy is severe, follow their doctor's plan.
Does it work if I live outside the Dominican Republic?
Yes. The foods are easy to find in Miami, New York and the rest of the United States. You pay in dollars by card, and your bank handles the conversion.
How much does it cost?
Choose monthly, US$14.99 a month; every 3 months, US$31.49 (30% less than monthly); or yearly, US$90 a year: pay for 6 months and get 12. All start with 7 days free and you can cancel anytime.
Why do you ask for my card if it's free?
So your access continues without interruption when the trial ends. There's no charge today: the first charge comes when the 7 days end, and if you cancel before then, you pay nothing.
How do I cancel?
Right in the app: Settings → Billing and payments → Payment method, invoices and cancellation. It takes a few taps and you don't have to message anyone. If you cancel during the 7 free days, you won't be charged.
What ages is it for?
From 1 to 16 years. Portions and recipes adjust to each age, with special notes for the little ones.
