Easy to prepare, great variety of dishes to prepare. Always feel better after a few days of purple carrot meals.
I love the variety of recipes. The quality of ingredients is always really good. This is an easy way to eat plant-based meals.

I was looking for a healthy meal service that was moderately priced and offered flexibility. Purple Carrot does all that and more! I love so many things about their service. I can pause or skip meals how many ever weeks I want. I can also change the number of meals I’m getting per week. If I don’t feel like spending too much money on some weeks I just order one or two meals instead of three. Other services don’t offer this kind of flexibility. Plus their meals are yummy and healthy. All in all, if you’re looking for a plant based meal service that’s flexible, go for Purple Carrot. You won’t be disappointed.
Thoroughly enjoying our Purple Carrot experience after 3 months. The variety of recipes really are incredible, and whoever is on their meal creation/culinary team is dynamite. My husband and I have loved incorporating these meals into our weekly meal prepping to help give us some additional veggies. It is worth mentioning that we have had meals with missing ingredients, missing meals altogether, or the vegetables/herbs have already turned bad; however, my experience with customer service has always been easy when it comes to remedying these issues/crediting our account.
I love my purple carrot Meals, they taste great and make my life easier. The only problem I find is by the time the package arrives the use by date is sometimes three or four days away and with eight days of meals I only eat one a day I’m sometimes way past the use by date. I’ve only had to throw away one so far cause the plastic was bubbled out. I love them though I’ve lost a lot of weight and look forward to eating my purple carrot lunch 😊 thanks!
Convenient service, easy to follow, delicious recipes, and I feel healthier because of it all! Some of the produce isn't the best (I get a lot of soggy, brown green onions), and even if I need ONE (1) clove of garlic they send a whole bulb, but the food is always very flavorful.
What started out as a way to expand my knowledge base for vegetarian cooking, has turned into an exciting experience. Purple Carrot provides many meals that I would never think to make. They are surprisingly affordable, very delicious meals and the instructions are clear and make them very easy to make. I admit, when choosing my meals for the week, I am a bit skeptical, but after 3 months, there has not been a meal we have not enjoyed. My husband’s review is “yummy food!”
After a busy day at work, the meals are fast, tasty and healthy.
My one frustration is the vegetables. Lettuce, spinach, kale, asparagus, shredded cabbage, etc. These items arrive and a third have spoiled. If I do not use them same day they are only good for another day or two. May I suggest vacuum sealing these to retain as much freshness as possible. This will afford a few more days and I will avoid having to go to the store to repurchase the needed items. This is the reason for only 3 stars. If PC is able to figure out how to keep the fresh vegetables fresh, I will gladly give 5 stars.
Thank you

All 3 meals were delicious…a symphony of flavors! 😋👌🏼
The meals from Purple Carrot are like going out to dinner! The entrees are creative, multi-layered in their flavors, easy to prepare and made with quality ingredients. My husband was skeptical at first about eating vegan, but he been wowed by these dinners and now looks forward to them. And I love having someone else make the decision about what to make for dinner!
Hey, thanks for the opportunity to provide feedback. I dig the meals--tasty and fun to cook. I've even learned a few culinary tips and tricks. I live alone, though, and have an active lifestyle and work schedule that limit time available for cooking--daily food prep is not realistic for me. That being said, it's a bit of a drag to be charged for shipping when I don't order "enough" meals. I understand you have a business to run, but by the time I get to the 3rd meal in the box, items are starting to go bad, and thus I'm reluctant to order a 4th meal, knowing it'll take even longer for me to get to the point of preparing it, and making it less likely to still be "fresh." I suppose I'll look into the frozen meal options, but still feel the recurring cost of shipping should be included. It may be an unsustainable meal delivery service for me. Have a nice day, be well, and thanks for the experience.
I am a carnivore who wanted to try eating vegan for my health. I am lazy about looking stuff up in cookbooks so I thought I'd give it a try. So I am through 2 of my 3 entrees so far and I must say they were delicious. I forgot that there was no meat in them. The directions are a little dicey but I am working my way through that. Even with the missteps that I made, the food turned out well and I loved the entrees. I must say that I am quite pleased with Purple Carrot and that it is better than other meal services I have tried. In summary, YUM!
High quality restaurant food kits. Always a good meal and food in the box is always in good shape. No rotten or old products. We've enjoy the meals for awhile now. Always something new to try.
I am enjoying the meals I order but do have 2 issues:
1. The salt content of some of the dinners are so high that they contain the entire amout that should be consumed in a day. It is just way too high and if you lower it, consumers can just add more at home.
2. The meals are not even cool by the time I get them. I am starting to worry aout food borne illnesses. The cold packs are put beside the meals which is not doing the job. They need to be on top because cold moves downwatd.
Please consider making these chages for the health and safety of your customers.

I ordered the first box, and the next day after my delivery, I canceled but was still charged. They said I had to cancel a week and a day before my next delivery, which makes no sense. The food was tasty, but so much work to prepare that it didn’t save me any time versus my regular cooking. It was not worth it, and I was so upset that they charged me for a second box. I didn’t want that I am never ordering from them again.

I hate waiting for these packages! Very unreliable delivery times and inconsistent contents.
They say an eleven hour delivery window from 8am-9pm. That is unless it has to come the next day for whatever reason.
The food is just as inconstant as the delivery times. You never know if you’re going to get rotten items, completely water logged box, or maybe everything is perfect.
When the food is good and delivered at a reasonable time, it’s fantastic. The recipes are mostly great, only a few are lackluster and simplistic.
The overall experience has been poor and this is upsetting because I really wanted to like Purple Carrot 😢

This experience has been great. A minor note; please provide more soy-free and allergens-free meals. When I received an arugula that was yellow and going bad, you immediately refunded me no questions asked. Also, you didn't pressure me into buying my meals every single week or every single month either.
The food taste good but there are a couple of things I would like to see:
1) Lower the fat
2) Show fat on the front and not have to click to open each on
3) have more pre-made options and not the same things each week
4) have some simple premade-meals like a veg lasagna, pad Thai, pizza. Etc
