Purple Carrot Reviews 

Very creative dishes, overall--great flavors, interesting combinations of ingredients, and lots of nutrients.

The Thai Noodle dishes have too much sodium. I tend not to eat them because they often have between 75-99% of sodium intake recommended per day.

Everything arrived timely and FRESH. Loved the tomato bisque and spinach artichoke grilled cheese. The sprouting broccoli salad wasn't my favorite, but I loved how healthy it was

I was gifted a free trial by a friend who has subscribed for years. It allowed me to get adventurous with cooking tofu (which I had never done). The food is truly delicious and the portions are satisfying. The instructions are easy to follow, and I love that I am learning how to create plant-based, nutritious flavorful meals that surprise my finicky family every time. Best of all is that I'm able to reduce my meat and dairy consumption without sacrificing flavor or nutrition. My "meat and potatoes" husband is more open to expanding his palette to a less traditional and more progressive way of eating...and me, I'm learning planet-healthy (and human-healthy) ways to cook! Even the packaging is recyclable and reusable. Oh! And each order has a surprise -- a new item to try, just for fun! It's a blast getting to try so many different vegan products!

So the meals ready to prepare are easy to make and great tasting. I consider the meal kits, to be training wheels for learning how to cook vegan well.

The food is really good and it’s all plants thank you. Only reason it’s not a 5 is cost, which I understand but why not do a rewards program? Buy 4 boxes get 25% off your 5th? Instead of sending me free boxes to recruit others, work to keep me as a customer. Thank you for asking

Food is always fresh and arrives on time, recipes are yummy and portions are generous.
My only suggestion. For improvement would be more earth friendly packaging.

The food is very good. Love learning about Vegan cooking through your meals.

Definitely need better reminders of upcoming skip deadlines. I have adhd and it's easy for me to forget. I wish I could cancel deliveries the day after the skip deadline or otherwise closer to the skip deadline than the arrival date. I prefer green chef because they allow me to do that and have an app. I also enjoy that they use a paper bag instead of a plastic bag for meal kits. They also have more prepped ingredients. The prep times are inaccurate for purple carrot because of the need to do additional prep like chopping vegetables (something I'm not a big fan of/am slow with). However I understand some ingredients are better freshly cut like potatoes and onions. I've had prepped meals expire much too soon. Ingredients missing from kits despite thorough inspection of the box. I'd also like to see more gluten free and soy free recipes. & the ability to order smaller boxes where the shipping price isn't so high. I hope 2023 is a better year for my experiences with Purple carrot.

The mac and cheese with mushrooms and onions was delicious. I never eat mac and cheese anymore and I really enjoyed the vegan version. I haven't made the other 2 dinner menus yet.

The majority of the meals are just so delicious, and the ease of prep is delightful

We love purple carrot meals. We always know the food will be delicious and healthy. The produce is fresh and they always give you extra garlic or other little vegan surprise products to try out.

I first want to say, I have enjoyed every meal I’ve had from Purple Carrot since I started my subscription. As a full blown Vegan, I appreciate the variety and alternatives provided for each recipe. With that being said, there are a couple reasons why I have only given 3 stars. First, I have seen inconsistencies with the packaging used for separate ingredients which sometimes are more wasteful than others, I have had a couple recipes missing minor ingredients, and a few instances where ingredients leaked or spilled from their containers during delivery which made it messy when setting everything up to cook. On a separate note, I do wish there was an app for Purple Carrot so could easily access my account to make changes to my recipes for the week and receive notifications when my deliveries are on their way.

Absolutely amazing menu options with such tasty food combinations. Deliveries are on time & ingredients are always fresh.

It was tasty food. However a lot of ethinc food wish there were more American “normal” dishes easier on the palate. Lots of indian and thai dishes

Recipes are truly delicious, creative and easy for vegan (I'm a meat eater). Greens seem to go bad quickly. SO much packaging. Maybe allow for us to opt out of certain ingredients?

Purple carrot, by far, has the best tasting food and recipes. We have tried 5 different providers at this point. Food taste is #1. However we have had issues with every single delivery with the quality of the produce. We received rotten broccoli, the entire package. We have received cauliflower with one completely rotten, black and mushy piece, mixed in with the rest which was fine. All the ginger we have received so far, which is every week, is gross. One piece was rotten and all the others were mushy. Maybe frozen. Lots of other stuff has to have brown ends trimmed off. At this point it is beyond the produce looking poor we are now concerned for our health. The bad quality is very consistent. It isn't like one person had a bad day. I am thinking you don't really want to be sending bad veggies to vegans.
I should also mention that over the last two months or so we have received 3 boxes with a missing ingredient or two. Sometimes we have a substitute laying about, sometimes we have to run to the store.
all together I would say we have had 2 boxes with no issues, so ... 25% are all good. 75% have issues.

The thanksgiving celebrations box was a hit with my family this year. It was a chorus of “ohs” followed by “this is REALLY good.” And thanksgiving is a hard holiday since we went vegan. I’m so thankful to you for making our holiday special. If you had one for Christmas I’d be getting it, too. Thank you again
