Zuo Yue Zi Meal Plan · Shipped Frozen
冷凍精緻月子餐
Warm. Balanced. Reassuring.
The first weeks after birth are for healing — not for standing at a stove. The whole food tradition — every meal, every dessert — cooked and frozen, and shipped to your door across the 48 contiguous states.
4 weeks · delivered to your door$3,490
The confinement month has a daily rhythm — a warm porridge to wake to, nourishing soups at midday and night, warm vegetables and rice, a sweet to close the day. The Frozen Classic Meal brings that whole rhythm to your table, cooked the traditional way.
Three comforting meals a day, a restorative dessert, and a daily healing drink — the complete food of Zuo Yue Zi, made for you.
Every dish is cooked fresh in our own Walnut, CA kitchen and frozen to hold its nourishment, then delivered to your door by FedEx Priority Overnight — a full month of recovery meals with nothing to shop for, prep, or decide.
Inside Each Day
Your weekly shipment arrives with seven pillow-size thermal bags inside — a full day of meals in each. Pull a bag, and that's your whole day, sorted:
Breakfast is a wellness porridge and an egg dish. Lunch is a nourishing soup, an entrée, warm vegetables, and wellness rice. Dinner brings a Taiwanese postpartum soup — like the classic sesame oil chicken — with a tonic soup, warm vegetables, and rice.
Your week ships the fastest way there is — FedEx's top overnight service. Meals leave our kitchen and land at your door the next morning, so nothing lingers in transit and the cold chain stays unbroken across the continental US. The faster it travels, the fresher it tastes when you thaw it.
A restorative sweet soup and a gentle daily healing drink — the parts of the month that feel like care, not restriction.
On the Table
Real dishes from a Frozen Classic week, once they're thawed and warmed.
Menus rotate across the days so the month never feels repetitive.
Perfect For You If…
The Frozen Classic is for the mom who wants the full food of the month — every meal made and delivered, on her terms.
Maybe your mother is already brewing her own formulas, or you're working with a practitioner you trust — and you don't want to double up. Or maybe you simply want the food first, and the option to go deeper later.
Either way, the Classic gives you every dish of the tradition without the logistics: no shopping, no prep, no hour-long drive to a Chinese market that may not exist where you live.
The whole food of the month, made and delivered — so recovery is the only thing left on your list.

Choose Your Length
Most mothers do the full four weeks — it's how the recovery month is designed to unfold.
Every length includes three meals a day, a dessert, and a daily healing drink, with FedEx Priority Overnight delivery to the 48 contiguous states. One-week plans ship once; longer plans ship weekly; we deliver to FedEx-serviceable addresses only (not Alaska or Hawaii). In a state bordering California?

It's the same food from the same kitchen. Every dish is cooked fresh in our own Walnut, CA kitchen, then frozen to hold its nourishment until it reaches you. Thaw it in the refrigerator, heat it through, and it tastes the way it was cooked — warm and home-style, nothing like a supermarket TV dinner. Frozen is simply how we bring a real Zuo Yue Zi to families who live far from fresh delivery.
Think of them as two halves of the same tradition. Both plans bring the same full menu from the same kitchen — the meals, the desserts, the Taiwanese postpartum soups — the food that does the rebuilding, staged to your recovery.
The Frozen Herbal adds the other half: the 30-day herbal drinks, included — a sequence of 15 formulas that changes as your body moves through the weeks, the inner side of Zuo Yue Zi that food alone doesn't reach.
So the real question isn't the price — it's how much you want handled for you. Choose Frozen Classic to have the meals now and add the herbal drinks by the week at $100/week (or the standalone Herbal Pack, $349); choose Frozen Herbal to have the whole tradition taken care of from day one.
Yes. The herbal drinks can join any weekly shipment at $100/week, and the standalone Herbal Pack ($349) is shelf-stable and ships nationwide, Alaska and Hawaii included. Just contact us and we'll arrange it.
Longer plans ship weekly, so you're only ever storing about a week at a time. Many families keep five days in the freezer and let a couple of days thaw in the refrigerator. If space is truly tight, a small upright freezer is often enough — and it earns its keep long after the confinement month.
Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat until it's piping hot all the way through — an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is the safe mark for reheated food. Each day arrives pre-portioned in its own pillow-size thermal bag, so there's no meal planning, no labels to decode, and nothing to assemble — grab one bag, that's your day.
We'll remove the milk-stimulating ingredients from your menu. The food still does its main job — restoring blood, warmth, and energy after birth. One honest note: fewer ingredients means fewer dishes in rotation, so the menu can feel slightly more repetitive.
At least one month before your due date, if you can. The week your baby arrives, you will not have the bandwidth to compare plans or fill out forms — and you shouldn't have to. Your shipments start when you tell us the baby has arrived, not on a fixed calendar.
Not Sure Yet?
Most mothers who ship frozen tried a sample first. Eight dishes from our real recipes, in the same packaging materials we use every day — enough to taste the food and try the reheating before you commit.
Ships FedEx overnight across the continental US — or call (626) 217-7539. We're usually around later than you'd expect.
