How Purple Carrot Helps Me Stay Healthy During the Holidays & Kickstarts New Years Goals

Hands up if you love apple pie. 🙋🏼‍♀️That would be a YES from me, and having a slice when we’re gathered with family for the holidays is a no-brainer. And this holiday season, I’m determined to enjoy it guilt-free. I finally feel comfortable having that slice of pie because I know I'm keeping my goals in check thanks to Purple Carrot, my new favorite plant-based meal service.

Here’s why Purple Carrot is the ultimate hack for staying healthy as we march into the busy season of festivities:

That good plant-based nutritional boost

How often have you been hanging with family all day, food all around, and you say to yourself, “I think I’ll make myself some lunch—or, wait, did I just have it?” I feel awful when I eat this way—especially because it’s mostly bread. But, with Purple Carrot, that’s a feeling of the past.

They offer 100% plant-based meals, all packed with essential nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. These meals help balance out the heavier, indulgent holiday foods with clean, wholesome ingredients that make me feel GOOD amidst enjoying indulgences. 

Can’t beat the convenience

You know what a meal kit is by now, but the novelty still isn’t lost on me to have the night’s dinner ingredients waiting in the fridge when I just spent the entire day checking errands of my to-do list. It saves me not only the grocery run but the labor of coming up with the meal idea.

Dinner is ready for forks in 15-35 minutes, and on evenings when we need a little extra oomph, we add in some smoked salmon or grilled chicken. That’s what we did for our Farmers Market Bowls, and yum. These meals are for all diets if you get creative! For even more on-the-go mealtimes, the Fresh, Ready-to-Eat prepared meals are waiting for me in my fridge and take less than five minutes in the microwave. 

I actually brought a Purple Carrot Ready-to-Eat meal to an all-day family gathering once, because I knew lunch would be decentralized and not filling enough for me. I expected it to be uncomfortable to whip out my own meal, but my family thought it was clever, and even my omnivorous uncle thought it looked delicious. He was right!

Customize your box to your tastes

You always get to pick your own meals in a meal delivery service, but it’s about more than just what you’re in the mood to eat that week—Purple Carrot has a variety of Less Prep, High Protein, and Gluten-Free meals so your dietary needs are accommodated. 

Purple Carrot also recognizes that there’s life lived between meal kits—and this is especially useful when the season crescendos into chaos—so their grocery items fill the pantry and fridge with snacks, charcuterie, quick lunch options, drinks, and desserts you won’t believe are plant-based. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough? Plant-based Tzatzkiki? Pistachio Milk? Yep, I’m serious.

It’s all so yummy

I swear Purple Carrot is carrying the torch on teaching the masses that vegan meals are more than just healthy; they are delicious and filled with flavor. The unique combinations of seasonal veggies, the variety of grains, the fantastic textures and sauces that do the most. No dish illustrates it better than the Pesto Beet Bowls, but I’ve also been impressed by their flatbreads and soups.

As you enter into the holidays, Purple Carrot has your back

Purple Carrot’s meal kits and prepared meals can promise so many things: convenience, flavor-bursting tastiness, tons of nutrients, and plant-based everything. I love it all year ‘round, but I NEED it during the holiday season, and I feel really confident about keeping my healthy eating right on track with the help of Purple Carrot. Join me.
