At Nutri-Kids, we believe childhood should be nourished with real food, real flavour, and real care.
Our mission is simple: to create delicious, wholesome meals using only the finest ingredients — giving little bodies exactly what they need to grow, thrive and shine.
We are passionate about helping children develop healthy eating habits from the very beginning. Introducing babies to authentic flavours and nourishing textures early in life lays the foundation for a lifetime of confident, joyful eating.
Because those first bites truly matter.
A Brand Built on Nutrition
Nutri-Kids has been creating healthy baby and kids’ meals since 2006. Founded by nutritionist Carly Baar, the brand was built on expert knowledge and a deep understanding of children’s nutritional needs.
In 2021, Shelley Cowling took the reins, bringing fresh energy and modern ideas while continuing the brand’s strong nutritional foundation. Her commitment to child wellness and accessible, nutrient-dense meals continues to shape the Nutri-Kids vision today.
A Mother’s Heart Behind It All
Today, Nutri-Kids is proudly led by a very busy mum of three and devoted wife, Lauren Manzo, who understands the realities of modern family life.
School runs. Work commitments. After-school activities. Endless to-do lists.
In today’s fast-paced world, providing consistently healthy, nourishing meals can feel overwhelming — yet nothing matters more than our children’s wellbeing.
Taking over Nutri-Kids wasn’t just a business decision. It was a calling.
As a mother deeply passionate about children’s health, development and long-term wellbeing, I am committed to making nutritious, mineral-dense meals easily accessible for families who want the very best — without the stress.
I know what it’s like to juggle everything. I also know that convenience should never mean compromise.
And that’s exactly why Nutri-Kids exists.
Our Promise to Modern Families
We do the hard work for you.
Every meal is thoughtfully prepared using carefully selected ingredients — free from artificial additives and the “hidden nasties” that are known to impact children’s mental and physical development.
So you can serve meals with confidence.
So your children can develop strong bodies and healthy relationships with food.
So busy families can breathe a little easier.
Nutri-Kids isn’t just baby/child food.
It’s peace of mind for modern parents.
