“I like the products, normal and Vegan. I have tried shakes and porridge formulations.
The single dose packs have a problem with the bottom seal. One arrived open and has i was shaking another pack to not waste teh product at the top as i opened teh bottom flew open. Not only does this waste product but it is also very sticky as it spreads out.
I hope you can look at the packaging.”
Thank you for your review- we are so glad that you enjoy Purition.

“First ordered sachets and was very pleased with taste and outcome as I did not feel hungry for most of the day. I then ordered chocolate orange in larger pouch and measured out 40gms on scales which is a bit of a faf as no measuring spoon is enclosed. I used almond milk 200ml but find the texture and taste not to my liking and find that I am unable to drink as It can go thick and has the appearance of curdled milk.”
Hi Christine,
Thank you for providing your honest feedback, we appreciate it.
We are sorry that although you have enjoyed the taste and texture of the sachets, you did not like the large bag that you have ordered after, especially as the base recipe is the same for all our flavours.
Purition does thicken up considerably after being blended, and this is because of the whole food ingredients used (nut and seeds -in particular, the Chia seeds) that are all very rich in fibre.
We also would never add any artificial ingredients, such as emulsifiers, to alter the natural texture of the ingredients, which we appreciate may not be to everyone's liking as taste is so personal.
Regarding the lack of plastic measuring spoon : To reduce plastic waste, we made the conscious decision not to include a plastic measuring scoop back in 2018, so we do not send one out with orders.
However, it is very easy to get the correct amount even without a scoop and to measure out a 40g serving we recommend that people simply use 4 very-very heaped teaspoons or use 1/3 of a baking cup if they don't want to use the kitchen scales. (We also sell stainless steel scoops for those who wish to use them.)
We would like to thank you again, for trying Purition and for providing your feedback - we are just sorry it was not to your liking.

Dear Jacqueline,
Thank you for sharing your thougths.
We are sorry to hear that althought you think Purition is nice, you felt it was too sweet.
The choice of milk/milk alternative used can greatly influence how sweet you find Purition - for example sweetened nut milks can make it taste much sweeter, so good alternatives to use are unsweetened milk alternatives or whole/semi skimmed milk.
It might be worth experimenting with alternative options to see which ones work best for you.
Also, although we don't add any sugar at all and Purition itself is naturally very low in sugar (only about 1-2g per 40g serving), we use the smallest amount (only 30g per 70kg batch) of natural sweetneer (Stevia) to balance out the flavours.
We appreciate that taste is so personal and that for some, even this small amount can be too much, so we also have some completely unsweetened options available for those who wish to have Purition without any Stevia.
Pelase drop us a line at hello@purition.co.uk if we can help you any further!

“I like this product as it is not too sweet and is full of good ingredients. I do find it a little hard to blend to a smooth drink and often it makes me cough cos there are gritty bits left behind. I have a dedicated blender for the job too. But overall a very nice alternative to breakfast cereal.”
Thank you very much for sharing your experience, we are glad to hear that you like Purition and the natural goodness of the real food ingredients.
It is because of the quality, real food ingredients (such as nuts and seeds) and the fact that we don't use any emulsifiers or any artificial ingredients that would make Purition smooth that Purition has a natural, slightly crunchy texture - you can feel reassured that those bits are good, healthy and nutritious little bits! ☺️

“I love the concept and like The flavours when you can taste them - it has such potential but the stevia is overwhelming and leaves a long-lasting aftertaste. Would you consider using erythritol instead?”
“Shake was nutty thick and creamy . Don’t expect a smooth shake the downside is you can’t taste the flavours. For the price I would not expect to add my own fruits or flavours . If they had stronger flavoured would have been a 5”
“This was the most disgusting stuff I have ever tasted it literally made me feel ill leaving a terrible taste in my mouth it totally vile.
A total waste of money I would rather starve”
“Wide range of flavours with natural ingredients. My preference is strawberry, which tastes of strawberry. Not too sweet and has a good texture when made into shakes. Requires some adjustments to make it to my taste as generally quite insipid. It would be useful to have a better guide than just 40g when you don't have kitchen scales. Also it only has 15g protein per serving, while most other comparable protein powders provide 20g per serving.”
“One of the best tasting vegan options I’ve found though I have made the decision to stop ordering as they don’t offer compostable packaging and there are other, more environmentally friendly options out there. Also very quick delivery.”
“Very quick delivery so that was good. And they do offer samples unlike some others (Huel, I’m looking at you). But...I had the cocoa one this morning with Alpro No Sugar Coconut drink and a few ice cubes. No discernible cocoa taste and the texture is kind of like drinking hummus through a straw. I managed half and couldn’t finish it. Two hours later I’m still picking bits out of my teeth. I ordered 12 samples so I’ll try another flavour but first impressions? Not for me.”
“I was really looking forward to these, but was disappointed after having my first shake. I bet these would be amazing if they used Xylitol instead of Stevia, as the Stevia leaves a rancid after taste which lasts for hours. I’m going to persevere and see if I get used to the Stevia as I did have a second one mixed with yoghurt and again would have been amazing if I wasn’t able to taste the Stevia.”
“Very quick delivery. Price is ok. The flavours are mild but ok. The most annoying thing is all the little seeds. It doesn’t matter how much I blend them, I’m still picking seeds out if my teeth for ages after I have finished!”
“I love the concept and the packaging, but the taste is not for me. I have tried many of the flavours and they taste all the same. Even by adding fruits I just can’t finish to drink one. It may work well for others though!”
“Purition is one of the few product that’s I have found doesn’t cause me any negative side effects. I’ve used Slim Fast before for weight loss and though it works if you are disciplined it used to give me headaches, it didn’t fill me up and worst of all it gave me flatulence. My sister experienced the same side effects so I know it wasn’t just me. The negative points to consider for Purition are
1) It’s quite calorific on its own before you add a milk of your choice. Slim fast with almond milk no sugar was approx 250 calories. I think this the Purition sachet alone is around 200+ calories so unless you use water it’s going to increase in calories. A shake for me depending on my choice of milk can be almost 500 calories but although I’m referencing calories to give you an example I don’t mind as it curbs my snacking and it’s easy breakfast on the go. I don’t typically eat breakfast so I find that a sachet with 250ml dairy milk and a banana keeps me going for 3-5 hours depending how busy my day is.
2) I cannot use this sachet without some fruit to blend the flavour it is very seedy/bitty which I don’t mind but without some type of fruit or nut butter or something I don’t think I would drive able to drink or it, my default is usually frozen fruit. I don’t understand how people make porridge from this unless you don’t mind a lot of texture in your food, I imagine this would be quite sludgy.
3) it’s quite pricey unless you start buying the bigger bags in bulk the discounts are minimal for the sachets or if you want to try it for a month without a major investment
4) For me a lot of the flavours taste the same aside from the obvious differences such as chocolate and strawberry etc most of the new flavours the taste is subtle and if you add fruit you can’t taste it unless you pick a fruit or milk that enhances the flavour of the sachet e.g coconut and coconut milk
5) You need to use a blender, other shakes or sachets you can mix in a container with a fork or whisk built in but this would IMHO be absolutely disgusting without a good blend. It’s very grainy because of the seeds so if it’s a smooth consistency you want this is not the product for you.
I’ve also ordered Herbalife so i’ll trial that before I decide. Overall I don’t dislike Purition but I don’t agree with all the rave reviews. I haven’t seen any difference to my weight up or down. I run every other day and I use this after a run in place of a meal or for breakfast or lunch but for the convenience and taste at a good price I would use it again. 3/5”
“Cocoa vegan is not as nice as regular cocoa. Tastes like cement unsweetened and alway seems to be lumpy even when blended.
I will stick to non-vegan variety which is delicious.”
