“In general, I would recommend Purition. Compared to protein powders I used in the past, it feels way more nutritious and flavoursome. However some flavours do taste soapy/strange hence the 3 stars. So perhaps some work to do across all the flavours to make them all awesome!”
“I really like Puriton and it has helped me get to a healthy BMI but I’ve been without it now for 2 weeks: once due to DPD not delivering which Puriton addressed quickly and dispatched a new triple pack via Royal Mail. Unfortunately Royal Mail refuse to deliver sensibly (e.g leaving in a safe place) and I have now missed the parcel twice because I work full time and it’s going to a post office somewhere which I will have to wait until next weekend to get to. I find Puriton really useful to have at work but haven’t been able to for a whole week which is frustrating. EVRI are the best delivery drivers here - I would like to be able to choose them.”
“The flavoured shakes have far too much stevia in them which is unpalatable. The coconut bars are inedible - like small bricks of concrete dust - they went straight in the food donation box. The unflavoured shake is okay - I’m just trying to work out what to put with it to make it taste nice. I like the idea - I’m just trying to make it work. I wonder if it would be easier to create my own shake with protein powder…”

“I used Purition a few years ago as a weight loss aid. It worked really well and I felt fit and well.
I'm again looking to lose weight and ordered the banana vegan version. I have found it to be not a pleasant flavour or texture so unfortunately may not be ordering again”
“I ordered a variety of vegan flavours and few of the classic; although I don’t mind the grainy texture of the shakes, nor I doubt the quality of the ingredients and their healthy benefits, I’m sorry to say that the taste itself is not great. I tried banana, almond and orange, raspberry and they all have a very subtle hint of the flavour, but mostly they taste quite similar to each other. Please, don’t take it as a criticism, I understand that’s all natural with no artificial flavouring, and maybe my personal palate needs to get use to this.”
“I Love Purition and use the isolate whey protein twice a day but was shocked at the £9 increase on this month's subscription! From £41.38 to £50.40 for 2 bags.”
Dear Natalie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, we appreciate it.
Because it is mainly made of chopped and ground nuts and seeds and without any additives or artificial ingredients to make it dissolve in liquid, Purition has a slightly crunchy texture.
Blending it for a good 30-40 seconds with your favourite milk/nut milk results in a creamy drink, but you can blend it a little bit longer to get the results you like.
Please click here on tips to find your favourite way of preparing it:

“I like the natural flavours. I don’t like the fact that it doesn’t make me feel full or even had a replacement meal like other meal replacements do.
It doesn’t mix very well and leaves a sediment, so you need a spoon to scoop what’s left at the bottom of the cup out. Purition advise putting berries in the mix or bananas, I feel I need to other wise I’m left wanting afterwards.
I’m looking forward to finishing my bags so I can get back to my Huel, which in my opinion is far better in many ways.”
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and review, we appreciate it but are sorry to read that Purition is not to your liking.
We understand whilst many people enjoy Purition, it will not suit everyone and that although Purition is very satiating for many people, for some it may not be as filling and we are sorry that you left hungry.
When it comes to how satiated you feel after a meal, it can come down to many factors and we offer free nutrition advice (either over the phone or via e-mail from an AfN registered Nutritionist), so please reach out if we can offer any help on how you can feel fuller for longer (with or without Purition, of course)?
We would like to thank you again for trying Purition, we are just sorry that it did not suit you but please drop us an e-mail at hello@purition.co.uk if we can assist you with anything.

“Some of the flavours are not great. I couldn't taste the orange in the almond and orange, the almond flavour drowns it out. Also the vegan Chai Latte tastes strongly of cinnamon, when I expected a mixture of spices. Cherry Bakewell is OK, but again the almond flavour is a little overwhelming. The coffee and walnut gets the balance just right. Wondering if the vegan flavours are not as good as the others?”
Dear Gwen,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and review and we are sorry that some of the flavours are not to your liking.
Taste is so personal and we all have different preferences, however, we hope to think that you do enjoy some of the flavours enough, as you have been such a loyal customer to Purition over the past year - For which we would like to thank you very much!
Our Vegan flavours do taste slightly different to the Orignal range, but not in terms of the flavours themselves, as those are all the same in both ranges. Rather, it has to do with the protein we use:
In our Original range, we use triple filtered whey protein isolate, which by nature provides a smooth mouthfeel.
In comparison, in our vegan range, we use our Vegan Proprietary Vegan Protein Blend, which is made up of a mix of European Pea, Pumpkin, Sunflower & Hemp proteins. Due to these ingredients, the Vegan range has a more earthy, slightly grainy texture.
Please reach out to us if we can help with anything and we wish you continued well-being!

Hi Elena,
Thank you for your feedback - We are glad you found your favourite flavour that you really like! 😊
Taste is just so personal, so we completely understand that some flavours will not work for some, but thank you for giving them a try anyway!

Dear Nichola,
Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate it and are sorry that although you like Purition, you find them too sweet.
Purition is naturally very low in sugar it only contains 1-2g per serving and we only use a very small amount of the natural sweetener Stevia (30g per 70kg batch) to only balance the flavours out and not to make it too sweet.
Of course, we know that taste is so very personal and that for some, even this small amount can be a little too sweet.
Sometimes the choice of milk/milk alternative can have a great effect on the overall sweetness of Purition as well, so it could be a good option to try using a less sweet milk, like unsweetened coconut milk for example.
We also wanted to consider those who wish to go for a completely unsweetened option, so we have created the below unsweetened recipes available, these do not contain any Stevia:
Turmeric/ Curcumin and Black Pepper (Original and Vegan 40g & 500g) &
Naked Blend (Original 500g only) -you can find it listed as ‘Unflavoured’
Our Plain Protein Powders are also all unsweetened and completely unflavoured as well, with a natural and neutral taste profile.
We hope that the above information can be helpful, thank you again for taking the time to write your review!

“I love the mixes so was excited to try your Keto bars. I really wanted to like them.
Sadly I didn't. Both the chocolate and berry flavours taste like candle wax mixed with chopped nuts.
I eat them on a day when I was very hungry having missed lunch. So I had two to replace lunch and dinner. Very filling but I won't be buying any more. Will use the remainder, including as yet untried coconut one, but only because they're in the cupboard. I haven't tried any other make of Keto bars, doubt I will now. I prefer to stick with the mixes which I blend with berries and Greek yogurt for the super-est of breakfast.
So sorry!”
Dear Sheila,
First of all, we would like to thank you very much for your continued support over the past almost two years - it means a lot to us and we are so glad that Purition has been part of your life for so long.
We also really appreciate the honest feedback you provided after trying our new KetTHIS bars, this is important to us and we are sorry that you did not enjoy the bars.
We aimed to provide a completely natural, low carbohydrate, high fat whole food meal bar that can be a convenient option for those that want to stick to their low carb way of eating on the go.
Of course, we know that taste is so personal, so we completely accept that these will not be to everyone’s liking and we thank you for trying them.
As always, please reach out to us if we can assist with anything.

Thank you, Jenna, for your feedback!
It's true, KetoTHIS meal bars are not at all sweet - They have a subtle whole food flavour and a crumbly texture from the nuts and seeds.
We wanted to provide a low sugar/low carbohydrate whole-meal bar option for those who wish to keep their low carb diet in check even when they are on the go.
Later on this year, we are also looking to introduce a slightly (naturally) sweetened snack bar option as well - so watch this space! 😊

Thank you for the review, Clare.
We are glad that you found your favourite flavour and hope that Purition will prove helpful as a healthy, nutritious addition for the dietary management of IBS.

“In terms of nutrition and whole ingredients I would give this bar 5 stars. I have not tried to eat a whole bar as a meal replacement yet, as I am not keto but I do follow a low carb/no refined sugar diet. I worry that this will not tide me over. I would only see it working for me if I was somewhere that didn’t have any food options for me. But in my day to day routine I would worry this would leave me hungry till my next meal with too many temptations around. In terms of taste it’s not quite there. They are palatable and good but not great, especially since they are so calorie dense for their tiny size. The best flavor is the coconut, which really is very coconutty. The chocolate is not super strong in flavor but ok. And my least favorite is the berry, the tartness of the berry and the contrast of the cocao butter did not mesh well. I think maybe if these had a nut butter in the base along with the cocao butter it would be better? I’ve tried a similar bar in the US, Ohi bars that have the same seedy concept in a cacao butter base. I think that works better because its less cacao butter and more seeds and nuts.
Love the planet friendly packaging!”
Dear Nora,
Thank you very much for your continued support over the past years - it means a lot to us and we are so glad to see that Purition has been part of your life for so long.
We also really appreciate your honest feedback you provided after trying our new KetTHIS bars, this is important to us and we will of course pass your comments on to our development team.
We are just very sorry that you did not enjoy the bars but we hope that you will be glad to learn that that we will have a sweetened dessert/ snack bar like the Ohi bar coming out later in the year!
With the KetoTHIS bars, we aimed to provide a completely natural, low carbohydrate, high fat whole food meal bar that can be a convenient option for those that want to stick to their low carb way of eating on the go.
It is a great option when other suitable, healthy food items are not available (for example, when travelling) and we find that a whole bar keeps most of us at Purition HQ us going for about 3-4 hours on such busy days.
Of course, we also know that taste is so personal, therefore we completely accept that these will not be to everyone’s liking and we thank you for trying them but we are glad that you appreciate our effort in providing more sustainable packaging options! 😊
As always, please reach out to us if we can assist with anything.
