“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.

“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!”

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.

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.

“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.
We are sorry that you have received your order with a split sachet - occasionally sachets can either split in transit or are sometimes faulty and we apologise for the inconvenience this caused.
We hope that you were happy with the communication received directly from us and how we resolved this issue when you got in touch with us after you received the split sachet - we are always happy to assist and aim to resolve issues swiftly, so please never hesitate to get in touch! 😊

“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! ☺️
