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.

Quality produce, variety & good portions I didn’t plan on sticking around past my discounted boxes because the price is so much higher than other meal services I used before. However, I was very pleasantly surprised with the overall portions, quality and variety of produce. It was all a lot better than other services (and I’ve tried nearly every comparable one out there). Let’s just say you do get what you pay for. I’ve stayed for several weeks now ..they hooked me. My only criticism would be that I wish every single meal option had at least 18-20 grams of protein. I appreciate that they offer a few “high protein” labeled options each week. However, I don’t think that something with only 11 grams of protein should be considered a meal and exist on the menu at all …

We had a substitute that was nasty We had a substitute that was nasty. That sucks, and we paid for it. If you're subbing meals you guys should pay for them or just don't send anything. Edit: had already reached out to purple carrot support before posting this review. Was told that they don't refund substitutions except in cases of allergy. After a lot of back and forth they made it clear there was nothing they'd do about this, and that its just a part of their distribution model. I'm a little put off by their reply suggesting I reach out to their support team since they already know that they weren't going to fix it.

Just signed up and received my first… Just signed up and received my first box which was just a pile of spinach and lettuce. I did not get the meals I had selected. Same day received an email about my box arriving next week. I did not want a box next week! When I signed up, I went through and skipped to every other week. It was quite a process as I had to fill out a form explaining why every time, so I know I did it. When I reached out to customer service, the only way is through chat, they said I did not skip! Tried to show me screen shots. The chat was not helpful and the company is obviously making it difficult to skip, communicate and order what you want so I have cancelled. Hopefully! Beware, this company is not customer friendly and is going to send you food you did not order.

Great recipes, but missing items several times We have been enjoying the recipes and the degree of preparation, as well as the recyclable nature of the packaging. However, we had at least our third meal today that had an ingredient missing. Tonight's meal was cauliflower steaks and the cauliflower was missing. Really need more quality control on the meal ingredients to make sure all are included.
