The plant-based meal kit subscription service that "takes the hard work out of grocery shopping and the guesswork out of preparation" launched a holiday box. On Friday, September 30, Purple Carrot will launch its annual 'Thanksgiving Box,' which will include fresh ingredients and easy-to-follow directions to make three dishes, gravy, cranberry sauce and one delicious dessert. This 100% plant-based holiday meal kit generously serves four. The box features rustic ciabatta stuffing with root vegetables & herb sausage, roasted brussels sprouts with oyster mushrooms & garlic kimchi butter, cashew cheese stuffed sweet potatoes with pecan parsley salsa, cranberry sauce, classic gravy, and pear cranberry crisp with walnut crumble.
