“I have blood cancer and due to taking the chemo. I don’t have any appetite to eat often.
I saw your adds and ordered some. I am a vegan / gluten free so it’s difficult to find foods without the processed & preservative ingredients. I couldn’t drink it due to the way stevia was processed. In its natural form it is green. And only need a tiny amount.
If white it is over processed and too sweet. I loved how it was packed with
the seeds & nuts.”
“The flavours are nice. I tried Strawberry, banana, Chocolate, walnut. This is a whole food and not a complete food. The sachets make a 200- 250ml drink. Adding ice makes a pleasant drink. This was not satisfying enough for me and I would have preferred something larger. Using 2 sachets together would have made it rather expensive compared with 500ml complete meals I am used to.”
“I am not sure, tried the starter pack and EVERYTHING has an unpleasant after taste, is suspect it’s the Stevia in it.
An acquired taste to say the least.
The jury is still out…”
“Well, to put it simply, I hate them. I really wanted to like them but I can’t even swallow them. They’re so bitter. I feel like there’s something wrong with me as everyone else seems to love them and I can’t even stand them in my mouth. The grainy nut ground is one thing but there’s something in them, perhaps the almond(?) that is so bitter I just can’t stand it. I bought the 14 tester type sachets and have finally quit after four. I tried with natural yoghurt; I tried making it into porridge with milk; I tried flavoured sweet chocolatey and fruit yoghurts to try to mask the taste but no matter what I still could not eat them. I was so disappointed as it seemed like it would be perfect for someone like me who can’t have sugary breakfasts but nope, just can’t force myself to eat them, they make my face grimace with the bitterness. The yoghurt just made it even worse sadly. I haven’t tried into smoothies or shakes because I don’t want to drink my breakfast or bits of grain. As someone that can eat grainy non pulsed chia, I still could not cope with this because of the flavour. I must have an aversion to the taste of the chopped nuts but it’s odd because I love the whole versions. Sadly, I’ve got to try and find someone to give them to and hopefully they’ll enjoy them.”
Thanks for giving Purition a try and for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear it wasn’t for you. The natural flavour of the seeds and nuts can come through quite strongly, and with no added sugar or artificial sweeteners, it’s naturally much less sweet than many breakfast options.
Some people find it helps to make Purition their own by adding a little mashed banana, a few frozen berries or a sprinkle of cinnamon to gently sweeten the flavour – but we understand it’s not for everyone. We really appreciate you giving it a fair go and for sharing your thoughts.
“Bought the mixed packs of hot drinks.
I’ve tried the chocolate and macha tea and they are horrible. They all taste of coconut. Very disappointed as I really liked the shakes. So £ 35. Down the pan. 🙄”
Hi Katrina,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review—though we're really sorry to hear the Super Lattes weren’t to your taste.
They’re made with coconut milk powder as a base and gently sweetened with a little coconut sugar, so the coconut flavour can come through more depending on how they’re prepared. The type of milk or milk alternative you use can also make a big difference—if you’d like to give them another go, we’d be happy to share some tips!
We know taste is personal, and while our Super Lattes weren't to your taste, we’re really glad to hear you’ve been enjoying the shakes.
Thanks again for your feedback—it’s always helpful, and we’ll be sure to pass it on to the team
“7 Flavours....
Coffee and Walnut - bitty, doesn't taste like what it describes, I couldn't stomach it as a drink so I put it with crushed weatabix and honey. After taste wasn't great. Felt like a chore for breakfast but I wasn't hungry throughout the day so did keep me full
Strawberry- was quite nice, not a strong flavor but not bitty in texture. I had it as a drink with milk. Wasn't hungry throughout the day. Probably the best out of all of these flavours.
Vanilla- was okay, but couldn't taste much vanilla very nutty
Chocolate + hazelnuts
Was really gutted about this one, I love chocolate so thought this one would be lush but.... There wasn't much chocolate flavour even though you can see the Coco power in the mix, all I could really taste was nuts and the texture wasn't smooth.
Pistachio
Quite nice, very nutty! Texture is fine. Make sure you have after freshly made don't leave in the fridge and go back to it.
Cherry Bakewell
Couldn't really tell it was Cherry Bakewell just tasted of nuts.
I mixed it with greek yogurt and put some granola in with it.
Almond
This tasted more like what it says on the packet. Was a pleasant morning shake.
If you love nuts Purition is for you!
All of these tasted like nuts and not flavouring on the packet. The after taste isn't very nice. Shame, I love the ethos of this company. Hopefully they can improve there flavouring and textures.”
“I haven’t written a review in the past , This is the first time I’ve purchased Purition !! Unlike the post that I have just read !
I’m
Still trying out the small different flavours that I purchased. So when I have completed the Taste session I will write a review, many thanks”
“This week I've only received 1 of the 4 monthly items I ordered. So I didn't get my discount and I've been charged for postage. Not very impressive. I waited a couple of days after receipt of item 1 hoping that the other 3 items would arrive in another parcel.”

“Bought the starter pack,and have tried the strawberry first, it had hardly any strawberry taste, they did fill me up, so that's good I'm hoping that the rest of the flavours have some taste, I have strawberries in the fridge, but seems silly to add them to get a taste”
“I am so sorry yo leave a low score review. I had such I hopes or maybe I just trued the wrong flavour for me. This morning i had a coffee and walnut, I love both normally. I thought this is going to be the One. No added sugar fantastic. But sadly it was bitter no coffee flavour.i even added an espresso. All I had was an underlying strong taste of I don't know what. 5hrs later. I still have an awful taste in my mouth.
I'm reluctant to try a different flavour tomorrow. 😖”
Hello,
I'm so sorry that you haven't enjoyed your first experience. We understand that the very low sugar and natural subtle flavour can take a little adjusting to. Both Coffee and Walnuts are naturally bitter so if it's not been sweet enough this is something you can add (to your own taste and preference).
I'll email you directly now so I can help make some serving suggestions and tweaks you can make to make the recipe more to your liking.
“So far not impressed. Made a mistake & accidentally ordered vegan options.....tasted like dirt, absolutely vile was a challenge not to hurl. Asked customer services for suggestions to make it more palatable, they suggested I replace with the regular flavours, which they did at no extra charge, thank you. This batch are much better in flavour but are still challenging to drink as am getting used to the graininess of them, but at least am not gagging on them.
It's only been a week, tried 6 different flavours & the flavouring is very subtle, but not too unpleasant so am going to persevere, but it is a struggle..”
“I have been buying Purition for many years as a breakfast option for T2, over time it seems to have less flavour each time I purchase. The last batch of the Pecan & Cinnamon was pretty much tasteless likewise the Raspberry. It seems the case across numerous flavours unless you add your own additional fruit or ingredient. Maybe cost cutting but seeing as prices have increased lets hope not. One major cost cutting issue I wish they should sort is regardless of the constant bragging about the number of meals sold each week they still cannot absorb the cost to supply in RECYCLABLE bags even though raised as an issue again several years ago. Think of the tons of bags in landfill as a result.”
