Zuo Yue Zi Meal Plan
藥膳月子餐
Nourished. Restored. Whole.
You've already done the hardest thing your body will ever do. For the next thirty days, every meal and every herbal drink is someone else's job — not yours.

If you're looking at our plans and wondering whether the herbal drinks are really worth it — whether the meals alone would do — it's a fair question. Plenty of mothers ask it.
Here's the honest answer. The meals feed you. The herbal drinks are the other half of Zuo Yue Zi — the daily ritual your grandmother would have insisted on, brewed from formulas that change as the weeks change. Doing it yourself means sourcing herbs, watching a pot, and remembering which formula belongs to which day. With a newborn on your chest, at 2 a.m., that is not a small ask.
So we kept the tradition whole: someone else cooks, someone else brews, and you simply recover.
The Herbal Meal plan is our most complete program — three warm, cooked-from-scratch Zuo Yue Zi meals a day, plus the JingMommy Postpartum Herbal Drink for all thirty days, included. No prepping. No sourcing. No Googling "what should I eat after birth" at midnight. Just the whole tradition, delivered fresh to your door.
What Arrives Every Day
Every day of your thirty days, you'll enjoy:
Balanced the traditional way to restore strength, energy, and gut health — soups, slow braises, gentle vegetables, and nourishing rice dishes, in the sequence your recovery follows.
The JingMommy Postpartum Herbal Drink, brewed for you and arriving with your meals. Formulas that have anchored Chinese postpartum care for generations, staged across the month instead of poured the same way every day.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and your drink — arriving like clockwork so your body feels seen, supported, and steady, even on the days when everything else feels upside down.
On the Table
Real dishes — and the daily drink — from an Herbal week.
Menus and formulas rotate across the thirty days to follow the recovery sequence.
Perfect For You If…
The Herbal Meal is for the mom who doesn't want to piece it together — meals and herbal drinks, arriving as one plan.
Maybe you did the meals alone the first time and always wondered about the drinks. Or your mother did the full month and you'd like the same for yourself — without asking her to stand over a pot at seventy.
Maybe you grew up hearing about Zuo Yue Zi and you're balancing tradition with modern life — you want the herbs sourced, brewed, and handed to you warm, not one more thing to research. Or maybe you simply want to feel nourished, cared for, and less overwhelmed.
Whatever your journey, this plan exists so you can receive the whole tradition — and rest inside it, fully present with your baby.
Moms Say
"The drinks were the part I would've skipped, and the part I'd never skip again. It felt like someone had thought of everything before I could worry about it."

Make It Yours
Your herbal drinks are already included. These add-ons are here if you want more.
Recovery Booster
熬雞精
Your go-to recovery booster — slowly simmered for hours from aged hens and white-feather chickens until every drop is rich with collagen, protein, and minerals, then concentrated into one small, warming cup.
Easy to sip on the days you're too tired for a full meal, it arrives ready to warm — no cooking, no cleanup. Mothers who add it tend to keep it for the whole month.

Nothing Left to Add
This is the complete plan. Every meal, and the JingMommy Postpartum Herbal Drink for all thirty days — brewed, staged, and delivered with your food. There is no upgrade from here, and nothing left for you to arrange.

Included. The JingMommy Postpartum Herbal Drink comes with the Herbal Meal plan for the full 30 days — brewed for you and delivered alongside your meals. It's the reason this plan exists, and there is nothing extra to arrange or pay for.
Think of them as two halves of the same tradition. Both plans bring the same three meals a day from the same kitchen — the food that does the rebuilding: warm soups, proteins, gentle vegetables, staged to your recovery.
The Herbal Meal adds the other half — the JingMommy Postpartum Herbal Drink, every day for the full thirty days, included. These aren't one drink repeated; they're a sequence of formulas that changes as your body moves through the weeks — the inner side of Zuo Yue Zi that food alone doesn't reach. Sourcing the herbs and knowing which formula belongs to which week is the hard part, and on this plan it's already brewed and delivered with your meals, so you never have to think about it.
So the real question isn't the price — it's how much you want handled for you. Choose the Herbal Meal if you'd like the whole tradition taken care of; choose Classic if you'd rather have the meals now and add the herbal drinks by the day whenever you like, at $10/day.
We'd rather be straight with you: a few can. Mothers tell us a couple of the formulas carry a stronger, more bitter herbal note, while most of the rest go down easily. We won't pretend every cup is delicious — but no formula stays for long. The drinks change every couple of days as your body moves through the stages of recovery, so even one you don't love is behind you within a day or two. Zuo Yue Zi is about healing first; how it tastes comes second.
One thing to note: our sample days don't include the herbal drinks — those are brewed for after birth and staged by week, so they aren't part of a tasting.
In our regular service area, meals are delivered fresh every day and we aim to reach your door before noon — though actual times can shift with traffic and routes, so an exact hour isn't guaranteed. Remote areas receive every-other-day delivery, delivery times there can't be guaranteed, and an additional delivery fee may apply. Refrigerate your meals when they arrive, and heat them thoroughly before eating.
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 start date can be adjusted once the baby comes.
The 14, 21, and 30-day plans take an $800 deposit at booking, with the balance due within 3 days of first delivery. The 1-day plan is paid in full, with no deposit.
Not Sure Yet?
Most mothers who choose the Herbal Meal tried a sample first. Have a full day of meals delivered — and let the food make the case.
Or call (626) 217-7539 — we're usually around later than you'd expect.
