It's sad to have to write a review like this because we have truly enjoyed the food and service. But they have started adding items to carts automatically and charging you for things you didn't order... See more

We are enjoying all the food

We are enjoying all the food. Lasership delivery leaves something to be desired but unless they’re owned by purple carrot as well, I don’t know if you can get them to properly deliver the boxes.

Absolutely love purple carrot

Absolutely love purple carrot. The food is delicious and plenty of GF choices. Figuring out what to make for dinner is half the work, this makes that easy and of course the measured prep is insanely helpful! We’ve made things we never would have made and loved them.

Love the freshness and flavors

I have been using meal kits weekly for probably five years now. Your boxes have the freshest ingredients I’ve ever had with a meal kit company. It is a new diet for me, so I am exploring new things, and you’re providing an excellent resource for that. I have, however, had a minor ingredient that was either missing or not as described in the booklet you send on a couple occasions. These are the ones that I have not received an email notification for, which those are always appreciated. Even though the kits are more expensive than others, I feel they are worth the extra money. I continue to look forward to getting your unique and fresh boxes weekly.

The recipes are absolutely amazing

The recipes are absolutely amazing! So tasty. I love the fact everything is pre-measured & I don’t have to buy an expensive spice I rather use. It’s easy to order & swap meals. I like the fact I can skip a week. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is occasionally there are a few vegetable items that arrive not 100% fresh, I have had to throw out a few of the greens like spinach & green beans ( meaning a few in an order not the entire vegetable item if that makes sense). I’m a fan of the service, whoever comes up with the recipes does a great job ( I order GF as well).

Nutrition label before buying please

I wish the meals showed the whole nutrition facts and not just tbe calories before you bought them. Some meals have 1900 milligrams of sodium, that’s like eating a chipotle bowl and a bag of chips. I get that it is a frozen food and that is why the sodium content is so high, but I wish we could see the full nutrition label before ordering. I would just eat at an actual restaurant if I wanted that much excess sodium. only suggestion I would make

Hi there! Thanks so much for reaching out about this! We apologize for any frustration or disappointment and really appreciate your feedback. Please know it will be passed along to the appropriate teams! 

The full Nutrition Facts are available for each and every recipe - for meal kit (prepare them yourself) meals, you'll want to click “View Full Nutrition Label” under the meal's macros. This will provide you with a full breakdown of the meal selected. For Prepared meals (heat and eat), you'll want to scroll to the second image in the image carousel; there, you'll find the Nutrition Facts. 

Again, our apologies for any disappointment. If there is anything else we can do to help, please don't hesitate to reach out to help@purplecarrot.zendesk.com !

I am loving purple carrot!

I am loving purple carrot but the portions are not very big; that’s my only complaint. It has made my week so much easier, less food shopping/planning, it really simplifies the cooking and preparing process.

Things always delivered on time

Things always delivered on time, never missing ingredients, nothing rotten. Food tastes good. I usually have to use more oil than it called for otherwise food sticks. It is soooo convenient and easy.

I honestly love Purple Carrot

I honestly love Purple Carrot. I’ve used several meal and grocery delivery services and they’re my favorite BY FAR for 2 main reasons:

1) The perishable ingredients are always fresh and last long enough into the week for me to make the meal they’re intended for. This should be a given, but you’d be surprised with some of the services out there.

2) If they need to substitute an ingredient in one of your meals, you will always receive an email about it in advance with any necessary adaptations to your recipe instructions and an apology for the inconvenience. I’ve also gotten an allergen warning from them before in one of these instances, with encouragement to reach out for reimbursement for that ingredient if allergic and with suggested alternate substitutes from my pantry. They’re just so incredibly thoughtful as a company and I appreciate that they take the extra step to be communicative and transparent ahead of a potential situation rather than waiting it out and apologizing after.

The recipes are all delicious, plant based, and filling, but honestly it’s those two things that will keep me coming back above all others.

Mixed Bag+

Good options. Timely delivery (tho I wish it were a little earlier in the day). Good ingredients except for avocados, which are consistently so hard I need to put them on the windowsill for at least 3 days before they’re usable. A little pricey, but worth the convenience.

Better vegetation meal kits

Overall, I like Purple Carrot. But I have had some issues. 3-4 times the food included has been unusable. Cauliflower has been yellowed and some black, Scallions withered, and on one occasion the kit included radishes for slaw. Only instead of 4 radishes there was only one. I believe you need quality control where ever the kits are put together.

Love purple carrot!

-the website is really easy to navigate.
-love the delivery process and packaging, makes it super convenient to sort out the meals
-the meal variety itself is really good and I love that the recipes incorporate more uncommon vegetables
-I will say the pasta recipes are a bit weak, I don’t usually pick those unless it looks really interesting

A little too ripe

There always seems to be one or two ingredients that come at peak freshness, by the time it gets used a couple days later, it is not edible. Last week it was one avocado and both bags of Swiss chard (the Swiss chard arrived totally brown and slimy). As far as taste, one meal is usually really good, one is meh and then there's always one that we struggle to muscle down. Overall, okay. Meals are easy to make but nothing special.
