Unlike other [meal kit subscription services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-meal-plan) on the market, 'One Potato' is setting itself apart by offering child-sized portions and pricing. With a growing number of families turning to meal kit services as a way to ease the dinner-making ritual, this service provides a more flexible option.

Like meal kit companies, One Potato sends customers [organic ingredients](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personalized-meal-kits) that can be used to make delicious meals in the comfort of their own home. However, what sets the company apart is the option to choose [child-friendly meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flourish-by-kirstys) that are not only smaller in size, but also faster and less expensive to prepare. The company also includes free cookie dough with each box to further emphasize its commitment to offering healthy and easy-to-prepare meals that are designed around the needs of modern families.
