Purple Carrot is the pick for vegans and plant-curious cooks, because every item on the menu is plant-based. The company says it has more than 10 years of delivering and a 4.6 out of 5 rating from 50,000+ reviews. Each week it adds options with 30+ grams of protein, 10+ grams of fiber and under 600 calories, which addresses the usual worry that vegan meals leave you hungry. The menu mixes classic meal kits, fully prepared meals, Ready in 15 recipes, gluten-free dishes, 4-serving family bakes, protein add-ons and grab-and-go breakfasts. You can shop the full menu before creating an account, and sign-up is free with no commitment. Mixed households who want meat or fish should look at the plant-based preferences inside HelloFresh or Green Chef instead. Purple Carrot's pricing page blocked our checks, so the price is pending.
