I thought I was eating healthy. I really did. I made my smoothies, I added greens to my meals, I even opted for whole grain whenever I could. But when I started using Purple Carrot, I had a major nutritional wake-up call.
Like a lot of people, I was drawn to Purple Carrot’s plant-based meal kits because I wanted to incorporate more whole foods into my diet (to my surprise, they have a massive plant-based ready to eat selection and grocery store, too!). I figured it would be a fun way to shake things up, get some creative meals delivered, and maybe feel a little better in the process. What I didn’t expect was to realize just how unbalanced my previous diet actually was.
Here’s why you should give Purple Carrot a try:
I thought I knew nutrition—until I didn’t
I always assumed plant-based eating meant I’d have to work extra hard to get enough protein or feel full. Turns out, I had it completely backwards.
A few things that blew my mind:
- Protein doesn’t have to come from meat—Plant-based proteins like tofu, tempeh, and beans are just as filling, and I never felt like I was “missing” anything.
- Fiber is the real MVP—I used to eat meals that were high in protein but totally lacked fiber, which left me feeling sluggish. Purple Carrot meals are naturally high in fiber, which helps with digestion and energy levels.
- Healthy fats matter more than I thought—The way Purple Carrot incorporates nuts, seeds, and avocados into meals made me realize I wasn’t getting enough of the right kinds of fats before.
Purple Carrot meals are thoughtfully designed to give you the right balance of plant-based protein, fiber, and healthy fats, all while keeping things incredibly delicious. It’s not just that I enjoy my new plant-based diet; I enjoy even more how good I feel the rest of the day.
Comfort Food, Reimagined—100% Plant-Based, 100% Delicious
If you think plant-based eating is just salads and smoothie bowls, think again. The meals I’ve had with Purple Carrot have been some of the most flavorful, filling, and satisfying I’ve ever made. I can finally enjoy the taste of comfort food, but with all the benefits of eating plant-based—and you’d never even know the difference. A few that totally surprised me:
- Creamy Cashew Alfredo with Roasted Broccoli & Lemon Breadcrumbs—So indulgent, so comforting, and packed with plant-based protein from the cashews.
- Spicy Korean Tofu Tacos with Kimchi Slaw—I served this one to my friend - and didn't tell them it was tofu - they had no idea!
- Mediterranean Chickpea Bowls with Tahini Drizzle—Just try it. Seriously. Don’t want to spoil anything more 😉
My inner universe seems to be grateful, too: I’m having better digestion, and all that fiber makes a huge difference. It’s all thanks to a more balanced approach to food—I’ve stopped stressing about macros and started understanding that real, whole-food meals will give my body what it needs.
These meals don’t just taste good—they feel good, too
The biggest shift for me? How I feel. Since incorporating Purple Carrot into my routine, I’ve noticed I have more energy throughout the day—no more afternoon crashes or needing that second coffee.
And, I’m not just eating healthier… I’m actually fueling my body better. My meals aren’t just packed with nutrients; they’re better for my body, mind, and spirit. It’s food that feels good in the moment—and in every moment after.
And it’s not just about the meals I get in my Purple Carrot box; it’s completely changed the way I eat overall. Now, I look at plant-based meals not as a restriction, but as an easy, nourishing, and delicious way to fuel my body.
