What is Purple Carrot, and how does it work?
I’ve tried other meal kit companies out in the past, so what makes Purple Carrot stand out for me is that they’re 100 percent plant-based. Of course, that certainly doesn’t mean you should be vegan or even vegetarian to subscribe. (I follow more of a flexitarian diet, meaning that I consume plant-based foods without fully committing to being vegetarian or vegan 24/7.) That being said, consuming more plant-based foods can significantly benefit one's health and the environment.
According to Andrea Nordby, Purple Carrot’s head of culinary, their plant-based meal kits are crafted with sustainability in mind. "On average, each Purple Carrot meal kit results in 72 percent less carbon being released into the atmosphere as compared to the standard American meal. Our commitment to the planet fuels our brand’s mission, and though we are the first of plant-based meal kits, we welcome every type of diet looking to implement healthier, convenient meals into their routines," Norby says. What's more, registered dietitians agree that there are many longevity-boosting benefits of following a mostly plant-based diet, including eating foods with a diverse array of nutritional benefits, loads of fiber that promote healthy digestion, and increased energy levels, to name a few.
