Purple Carrot Reviews 

I really liked the meals mostly, but I was continuously receiving meals I hadn't selected. It seems as though I was receiving the default meals. It happened on multiple occasions. Otherwise I'd have continued.

Would like it to arrive earlier so I can use day it arrives. Would like larger portions for a lot of the recipes, it is often not enough for my family of 4 (2 teenagers!). Sometimes feel they are more “sides” than actual dinners.

The ingredients are fresh and the recipes very tasty overall. The use of garlic, especially raw, may be a bit too frequent for my taste, but that may be just me. I am not specifically vegan, but I like to eat healthy meals, and this is really helpful.
I wish there was a way to stop a delivery more than one week in advance if something comes up later in the week (as in my case a death in the family) that takes one out of town.

This week’s box was just luscious. I ate malfadine with artichoke hearts, gnocchi, and chia pudding. All three were just gorgeous!

I received a prompt response to my question. Much appreciated.

Couldn't be happier with the quality and simplicity of these recipes! Not only that, but Purple Carrot makes it so easy to divvy up dinner duty—without making it feel like a burden to my partner or I. But you know my favorite part? My 78-year-old father loves eating Purple Carrot dinners with us, which was a fun surprise!

The sodium in most meals are VERY high, please consider Low sodium meals.

Most of the meals are really good and we would make them again. Very easy and quick. We've had some bad experiences with produce being moldy.

3.75 stars!
I like the freshness of the food you send and I like the variety. I would prefer and stronger emphasis on healthy recipes. I don't like when broccoli is coated in batter or veggies are added to bread just to have more calories and carbs. Also all you prepared foods seem to have preservatives. I would prefer more organic foods especially the greens.
Disappointed you raise the amount for free shipping, which is difficult for single people.

Good healthy portions!

So far the two meals we've had have been delicious. The ginger is have rotten though - soft, with translucent color - it's doesn't last in plastic well I think.

Experience is mostly excellent, however for it's price (the service can be called pricey) it has it's flaws. It happens occasionally and not "every week" thing. For example, I had a missed lemon in my order, or cherry tomatoes could come in a box so some of them don't get smashed, or mango wasn't ripe until almost a week after arrival.
These are non serious flaws , it's just for the high-range price itself I would like not to see them happening.
And I don't want precooked rice , it would be nice to have an option when scheduling an order.
Another suggestion would be to work with more kosher certified brands. Maybe even get to the kosher market at some point.
Overall the service is very good so please keep going, personally I would not want to order vegan options from other services, I would only go with fully plant-based service.

it's so convenient to have everything in the box!

Been using the service for awhile and loved it because it was healthy and fresh. Now they're transitioning to using many processed foods like pre-made sauces and low quality veggie burgers. It's difficult to avoid these ingredients without scrutinizing the recipes.

For example, this week's menu has a peanut stir fry that used to have a sauce made from scratch with peanuts and other things. But it's been switched under my nose with some pre-made crap containing artificial colors, canola oil, and other junk that I could buy at a grocery store for far cheaper.

Really unhappy with this direction and will probably not remain a customer if they keep it up. For one, if I wanted processed foods then I wouldn't be cooking at home. For two, I could order a jar of sauce and some pre-cut veggies from instacart for vastly less money and roughly equivalent effort. The pre-made sauces are especially stupid on their part because delicious from-scratch sauces was sort of their jam.

I don't think they're very interested in customers like me. Although they have a handful of items that aren't "low prep", this category dominates their upcoming menus and it's difficult to avoid the processed foods without scrutinizing the recipes carefully. I guess all good things come to and end and Purple Carrot has definitely taken a HUGE dive in quality.

Purple Carrot has been pretty good so far. The meals have been great (sometimes could use a squeeze or lemon or lime). They've been easy to make and very flavorful! The customer service has been ok, just a little different from other meal delivery services. We had an issue with a missing ingredient and instead of a credit for the meal, it was just for the missing ingredient. Luckily we had something close enough to sub with, otherwise we would have needed to find time to go shopping.

I got the wrong meal but I was credited for it (thank you). The meal I got was missing vegetables, the lai gan (?). There were oyster mushrooms which went with nothing.

Everything about Purple Carrot is amazing - from the quality of the meals and variety to their customer service It might take a few extra "rings" on the phone to reach them, but the service is amazing

The last few boxes I have loved the outcome, however at least once a box something is bad. Once it was the garlic, next it was the onion and this time the green beans were covered in a slimy black film. We always make do but I’m hoping this is a temporary issue. Thx

Creative and delicious meals, relatively easy to prepare. Monday arrival is not ideal as I don’t have time to prepare meals until the weekend and vegetables don’t always last and/or are already deteriorating. I would like an option for 2 meals instead of 3.
