Andy Levitt – Founder and CEO of Purple Carrot said: “Our company’s mission is to help people eat more plants, and with the introduction of Extras, we’re expanding our plant-based offerings.

“We’ve heard from our consumers that they are hungry to include more plant-based foods into their daily diets, and we are proud to introduce an ongoing series of flavorful, innovative and healthy meals for breakfast and lunch that is going to transform how easy it is for people to do just that, whether they’re at home, at work or on the go.”

Launched in October 2014 by Andy Levitt, Purple Carrot offers fresh, pre-portioned ingredients across the US with step-by-step guidance for people to cook plant-based meals at home.
