This depends on the meals that you choose, but basic cooking skills and knowledge should be sufficient. The meals are organized into separate bags making it easy to locate everything you need for each meal and you will also receive recipe cards with step-by-step directions that break it down for you. (The recipes also contain basic nutritional information.) They will list materials and ingredients that you need to gather from home and then start with the prep section so you know exactly what to do. There are also photos to accompany the directions along the way.

Sauces and dressings will sometimes come pre-prepared, but be ready to chop, peel, and grate. The amount of meal prep required depends on the recipe, but you should expect to spend between 5-15 minutes getting things ready to cook.

Since this is a vegan food delivery service, you won’t need to worry about meat, dairy, or seafood spoiling; however, Purple Carrot recommends cooking meals with 3-5 days of arrival for optimum freshness. Many items will stay fresh longer than that, likely up to a week, but you should prioritize recipes that include delicate ingredients like leafy greens.

Past recipes have included: Ancient Grain Bowls with Crispy Chickpeas & Pistachio Cashew Cheese, Piri Piri Tempeh with Farro & Arugula Citrus Salad, and Mojo Sweet Potato Bowls with Black Bean Quinoa & Citrus Avocado Salad.

Yes! In addition to meals designed for dinner time, there are lunch options (and more) available; subscribers can add breakfasts, lunches, and snacks to every order.
