Purition: product review

There are a whole host of reasons why someone might decide to use meal replacement shakes and powders. A busy schedule makes meal prep hard, a negative relationship with food, wanting precision and control over what you’re consuming, laziness. Purition is a meal replacement powder. The idea is you make a smoothie with your favourite plant milk and any added extras (berries or a banana) and replace one or two meals a day. I love the concept. Real, vegan whole foods. No weird flavourings or colours, and it means the ingredients list is easy to understand being including different nuts and seeds.

I tried the dairy-free selection box which has a range of tasty flavours with largely similar nutrient breakdowns. The strawberry was my favourite. I must point out that you really should use a proper blender with Purition. Basically it’s mushed up food so it doesn’t dissolve like other similar products which are made of synthetic weird stuff (don’t quite me on the science of that). I don’t have a decent blender so had to put up with a gritty texture when made up in my shaker. The taste was still good, not too sweet and the taste of almonds and seeds balanced with the dominant flavour of strawberry, vanilla or chocolate. I enjoyed it most when sprinkled on yoghurt or muesli as a topping, even though this isn’t quite the intended purpose.

I would definitely recommend this product to people who want to know what they’re consuming and like to simplify their eating who also own fully functioning blenders. The range of flavours keeps things interesting, and the fast delivery and customer service is excellent.
