Our Story
Fresh. Organic. Homemade. Delicious.
As a working mom of 3 kids, I know what a struggle school mornings can be!
"Please use a spoon with your yogurt, not your hands"
"Shoes go on your feet, not your head"
"What do you mean it's Superhero dress up day and bring your pet lizard to school day today?!"
... and this is all before you have to think about packing a healthy, nutritious lunch for your child. We're here to take that off your plate. Our mission at Citizen Sprout is not only to provide your child with a fresh, organic, homemade meal delivered right to your school, but to also jumpstart their food curiosity and build the foundations for healthy eating habits. We can't wait to see your kiddos diving into our food and look forward to serving your school community!

100% scratch-made goodness. Without any of the guilt.
They say it takes a village. We say it takes a kitchen — and a lil’ bit of fun. Based in California’s sunny Santa Monica, Children's Menu is all about creating simple, fresh, wholesome, homemade meals for kids.
With a focus on healthy, nutritious, oh-so-tasty food that tastes as good as it looks, we’re founded on the idea: Honest, healthy, tasty food shouldn’t be complicated.
All the flavor without any of the nasties; that's our promise.
We look forward to delivering organic, balanced, scratch-made lunches to your school!
Everything is made from scratch in the Children's Menu kitchen in Los Angeles and delivered at your school’s designated lunch time in 100% zero-waste containers. We make all of our own sauces and snacks with simple, whole ingredients so that you can feel good about the food your kid is eating.

- Organic ingredients
- Local produce, whenever possible
- Grass fed, wild and hormone/antibiotic-free proteins from responsible fisheries and ranches
- Vegan, Vegetarian and Gluten-Free Options
- Kosher menu available
- No processed foods or artificial ingredients
