The organic meal kit delivery service [Green Chef](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-chef-x-emily-mariko), recently launched a new option called 'Green Chef Family' that makes cooking dinner a fun activity for the whole household. With a growing number of families looking for more ways to spend time together, this meal kit turns dinnertime into a collaborative effort.

Green Chef Family is a [meal kit for four](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/familysize-frozen-meals) that consists of two dinners per week. Like Green Chef's other offerings, the family-focused meals are comprised of organic ingredients and come in carnivore and omnivore options. In addition to the high-quality ingredients, each recipe is also tailored to the palette of [picky eaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kid-friendly-recipe), with nutritious, yet flavorful options such as pecan-crusted salmon with carrot-cabbage slaw and apple-stuffed grilled cheese with red pepper-tomato soup.

With all the complex prepping done ahead of time, kids can join in the cooking fun from the very start.
