Like that the mix is all natural and don't mind the gritty texture as I feel it adds fibre but the flavors are so subtle that its hard to distinguish between them. The Cherry Bakewell & Mixed Frui... See more

I read all the reviews before purchasing the 2 week sachet set. I used them as shakes, mixing with almond milk. I do agree that the flavours are bland but most of them are bearable, the pistachio was the worst for me. I used them to replace my lunch and did stay full! you can make porridge and mix with yoghurt which I do think would be better and something I didn't try as some flavours were a struggle! I've definitely enjoyed not feeling bloated. Sadly no weight loss from it but my body takes 2 weeks to get used to a change so I think I would need to continue on it. I definitely recommend giving this a try - they are nutty, do need blending and are quite bland but do make you feel great and full!
Been using Purition for years. It is natural, using whole nuts and seeds, so expect it to have an overriding nutty base flavour. The flavours are subtle, and all do have the nutty taste that comes through. I wouldn’t say it’s gritty, but it’s not ultra processed, so some slight ‘bits’ from the nuts in there. But I think is it a quality product, and since I’m on a subscribe every 3 weeks, I’ve never had an issue with the product. This is not some fake ultra processed sweetened shake, so if you prefer sugary sweet shakes then stick to the ones in supermarkets. It can help with weight loss, and also weight gain in illness. Overall an excellent product.
Thought I would give these a try as a change from my regular, not for me, they are tasteless and nothing like the flavour on the packet, back to my normal one.
I brought ten Vegan Purition shakes all different flavours, to help with weight loss and I also brought their Matcha and Turmeric Latte. Sorry to say but this stuff is dreadful. It is all tasteless. Their shakes are gritty and it is just like drinking ground almonds, tasteless and got stuck in my throat, had to have a drink after to get it down. After consuming two of the shakes, I felt like throwing up due to something not feeling right in my stomach, I was led up in bed with a killer stomache ache for ages, my stomache bloated out like I was six months pregnant and I felt so nauseous!
The latte's I was so looking forward to, after making my own turmeric golden milk paste for lattes, I wanted to see how this compared. Again, absolutely tasteless minus the slight coconut taste. The matcha latte had a mix of a low-grade matcha and coconut but really not very nice at all. I'm really disappointed but most of all fed up as I have a horrendous stomach ache and I have four more days of shakes left plus the lattes. It's probably going in the bin. Would not buy again and can not recommend it.
Products have gone off within sell by date (15 May 24). The explanation from Purition was “As I said on my previous email, the natural oils in seeds and nuts can go rancid if not stored correctly. The samples have been out of our control for 8 months and we have not received any other reports.
Happy to add a couple of samples to your next order as a gesture of goodwill, just let me know when you place a direct order with us so I can get it sorted.”
Ah so it's my fault your products are substandard and not fit for purpose. Think Food Standards Agency and Consumer Rights Act may differ in opinion.
It'll be the last time I buy anything from Purition!
Ok so where to start ...I needed a weight loss boost and I have a problem with flour( wheat ) ...I have enjoyed slim fast in the past but it's full of crap and I wanted a breakfast replacement so decided to give the Trial sachets a go ...
Cost ...it is quite expensive BUT it is all natural so I'm happy to pay
Smell...I got one if everything and on opening they smell exactly how you would expect cherry Bakewell smelt how I hoped but they are not overpowering or sweet smelling and you can definitely smell the nuts .
Mixing ...once I tried a blender all was good , by hand or shaker it was painful
Taste ...ok this is the bit to be ready for THIS IS NOT MILKSHAKE ...I found the taste for the most part did not reflect the smell and was lacking in what I would consider the expected taste flavours, like banana, chocolate strawberry etc ...the feeling in your mouth is to say shocking the first try ...they are after all ground nuts and chia seeds and as such are very grainy/bitty/gritty...I don't at all like that in the above flavours...HOWEVER in the nut flavours, almond, pistachio coconut etc I really like them and I believe this is psychological...I expect nuts to be grainy so it's all fine ,I don't expect strawberries to be grainy so it wasn't hahaha funny right ? So I shall order larger bags but if the nut ones as I actually really enjoy them ,no taste expectation and grainy is all good ...I have also been adding a teaspoon of organic spirulina in as well as the frozen berries and this is all good and makes a very interesting looking drink 😂😂...I can't give 5 stars as I am quite hungry by midday...I have an active job and can't snack before lunch and it's kind of making me want to eat loads ,but I'm sticking to my rye sour dough toast and half can baked beans with a Greek yoghurt to keep up my fibre.
You need to know what you're buying with this. It's not a baby-sweet sugar flavoured super fine powder mush, it's a real blend of nuts, seeds and such like, which of course ends up slightly bitty and (god forbid) also tastes a bit of said nuts and seeds, chia flavour is particularly dominant in many sachets. If you want an easy way to get some fibre, this is one way to do it, but it's not a "milkshake". Personally, I love this product and love trying the different flavours to find my faves.
Been using these for years, they get a bad write up for not tasting like those milkshake ones but for me that’s a great thing! It’s not got all that artificial rubbish in it or sugar. It tastes like I’m actually eating something and keeps me full for ages where other brands who taste like the shakes leave me hungry half an hour later. I really rate these, I use the vegan banana and strawberry the most, some flavours aren’t for me but there’s a sample box you can get to try a load of flavours to see if they agree with you.
What the hell have I just consumed? Banana flavour... bitter, grainy and almost tasteless... had to have squash on the side to drink along with this vile stuff.. now I've tried shakes, but ive never felt physically sick while drinking them. Steer clear. What a waste of money
I have been using this product for several months, after a visit to a nutritionist. I particularly enjoy the option to mix flavors and order your favorites. I normally have it for my breakfast and am always fuller for longer ....even better than when I start my day with a well known brand of porridge !? In my experience, it's a great product, amazing customer service and I definitely recommend you give it a try. Best wishes x
Reasonable taste given the nature of the product, in fact pretty good essence as when you open the package they certainly smell better than they taste. However still perfectly edible.
Bad thing is the price for what is supposed yo be a meal replacement, meal? Ha OK market it as a snack replacement fine but it's no meal replacement just like it's competitors so no difference there none of these replacement foods are actually going to make you feel full and I have a very small appetite compared to most.have been using them to replace breakfast as its quick and easy and that sort of works, otherwise excellent at stopping snacking between meals but too expensive to have as breakfast daily! OK in a pinch but also have to agree if not stored 100% correctly its goes off way too quickly and tastes foul when it does so. My preferred brand of attempts by far but still not cheap or a real meal replacement
Have been using the sachets for making shakes for a while. I am addicted to the tastes, fantastic. Customer service is top notch.
Great product & Company.
I must say I am astounded by some of the poor reviews on here.
Purition is a “Whole Food Product” made in the UK. It is NOT fine powder with hidden ingredients, it IS full of natural foods which you would expect to be slightly grainy.
The flavours are true to their description.Mine, mixed with a banana & milk was delightful.
Customer service has been impeccable, you even get to speak to a co founder who couldn’t be more helpful.
In this day & age most companies are impossible to speak to.
I have now ordered several times. I started with the sample satches which also allowed me to mix and match. I went for a large 500g pack which tasted funny. I have emailed them, posted a review on another site without joy. They say they didn’t receive my email so O sent the string no reply.
Product hit and miss, I’d you get a dud they will ignore you, so I agree the customer service is poor.
Great healthy smoothie and ideal for my paleo Keto lifestyle. I use the vegan ones; I add almond milk, chia seeds & frozen spinach and blitz in my blender. It comes out like a think shake and the flavours are delicious. It is not a powder as made from real ingredients so the smoothie isn’t smooth but I like the texture. It fills me up for a long time and useful for breakfast on the go.
These are so disgusting. I’m so sad I wasted my money on them. They make me gag each time. I had one yesterday but thought it was just a funny flavour (choc orange). Had another one today, just as gross so threw it down the sink. Tried another and can’t drink another sip. Don’t waste your time or money, just eat real food! Honestly, these drinks are just gross and vomit inducing!
Absolutely terrible customer service. Been chasing my refund for days now (the product tastes awful), and keep getting told it's going to be done - it's not as yet.
Just spoke to an incredibly rude chap called Edward who was extremely condescending when I tried to explain my frustration.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY
I've been thinking about trying purition for ages and finally made an order. I've only tried 3 so far, but I've enjoyed them all. The first thing I noticed was that they didn't have that unpleasant over sweetness of other meal replacement shakes . They have enough to make them just right. They do leave a slight after taste but that's from the nuts and is absolutely normal. For those leaving 1 star reviews, you obviously don't eat a lot of nuts! For me this is a game changer, I can never go back to those over sweet super processed shakes. Thank you Purition!
Iv been using the powders for a couple years and love them ,this time I ordered the multi nutrients and omg do they smell disgusting couldn't even handle them nevermind take one put them straight in the outside bin as they were stinking the cupboard.was asked if I wanted to send them back but I really wouldn't have wanted anyone to think the smell was me it really was that strong fishy smell waste of £14 never again I don't recommend these to anyone sorry purition.
Completly agree with some of the reviews below. Often do Keto diets with IF (and am also lactose intolerant) so was super happy to find a dairy free product that wouldn't push me over my carb limit, in a wide range of flavours. The moment where I found the product was the end of the positives. It tastes awful. I have tried 6 different flavours but all of them are gritty (no matter how long you blend them for), taste like animal feed and worst of all leave me feeling super bloated and nauseous (and nope, it's not milk because I've tried them with water, coconut milk, almond milk and lactofree milk.) And the taste lingers with the pain and bloating for hours which is just torturous! Sorry, it's awful.
