When it comes to grocery shopping and cooking, college students don’t always have the time or know-how necessary to create nutritious, filling meals. Thankfully, with the rise of food delivery services they can stop relying on Ramen noodles for sustenance. Even though there are a lot of food delivery service options out there, vegans have fewer options.
Luckily, Purple Carrot can help them “cook delicious plant-based meals at home,” and they’ll never have to step foot in a grocery store.
No Mess-ups Here
Because college students aren’t typically experts in the kitchen, Purple Carrot is an excellent way for them to learn to create a wide variety of dishes without the chance of messing up ingredients amount or even purchasing the wrong ingredients in general. Everything arrives pre portioned out and labeled for them so the margin of error significantly dwindles when they start cooking.
Up the Veggie Ante
College students are also notorious for not consuming enough fruits and vegetables. Even when they try to go to the grocery store for some, they typically don’t buy things that are unfamiliar, which makes it difficult for them to consume all of the vitamins and nutrients they need. With Purple Carrot, they do get a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, and they’re being encouraged to try new dishes and cooking skills. Students need to learn just as much outside of their college lectures as they are in them.
The Perfect Plan
Purple Carrot offers two week-to-week plans, but The Perfect Pair is the best one for college students. With this plan, you get three vegan recipes, all ingredients and directions included, and enough food to actually feed two every day. For college students this allows them to have leftovers for lunch the next day. The Perfect Pair plan is only $68 per week. That means six meals for $68 and no leftover ingredients that won’t ever be used.
No Obligations, Just the Way College Kids Like It
The weekly menu from Purple Carrot changes constantly, so if there’s a menu that your student won’t like no matter what, you’re under no obligation to purchase it. You can choose to skip that week and try again the next if that weekly menu is more appealing. If a student is paying for Purple Carrot on their own, then this is extremely convenient for them in the event they don’t have as much money for it one week.
And if you try it out for a little while and decide it’s not worth it or your student doesn’t like it, then you simply don’t order another one. There’s no contract to fulfill.
