So far so good. 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.

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.

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.

Your ingredients are always fresh Your ingredients are always fresh! Your packaging is minimal. And we love how all the savory recipes are filling, w/o depending on bread, potatoes and rice to fill the body. So many choices and variety within our vegetarian/ gluten -free requirements. Thank you!

Consistently bad ingredients and not… Consistently bad ingredients and not enough ingredients. EXAMPLE: Recipe calls for 1/4 cups jam, they give you 1 tbsp. Vegetables arrive moldy and/or wilted. They ruin an entire meal with lack of ingredient or expired ingredients, they will not refund the entire meal, they will only refund you minimally for the bad ingredient.
