Frequently Asked Questions

Purition is a solution we made for ourselves to make healthy eating easier.

It’s a recipe of whole food ingredients that you can enjoy as a nutritious breakfast, lunch or snack. It’s a quick shake, an easy yoghurt bowl or an instant porridge.

Packed with protein, healthy fats and fibre, Purition will keep you feeling full and energised, without any prep or hassle.

Purition is made from minimally processed whole foods like seeds, nuts, fruit and protein from plants or milk.

There are no chemicals or additives in Purition, which makes it better for you, better for the environment and better for long-term health and immunity.

Purition is suitable for any life stage including youth, adult, senior, pregnant, breastfeeding, diabetic, coeliac etc, subject to allergy requirements.

Start the day right and enjoy Purition for breakfast or lunch. Or replace one less nutritious meal or sugary snack with a serving of Purition.

The most important thing is to consume Purition daily at least 5 or 6 times a week, so we can help you to make a positive impact on your overall diet. One shake once a week will not be enough to help you make significant dietary change.

Purition is delicately flavoured with real food ingredients. It has a mildly nutty taste and texture, is not overly sweet and the differences between the flavours are subtle.

Purition Original tastes nutty, while Vegan Purition is earthier due to the nature of plant proteins. If your dietary requirements allow, start with Purition Original.

You’ll add five times more liquid than Purition, so the taste will change depending on the milk (and extras) you choose. If you use a strongly flavoured nut milk like almond or hazelnut, it will taste even nuttier. If you use oat milk, it will taste oaty.

For example, half a frozen banana blended with whole milk and Purition Macadamia and Vanilla tastes like ice-cream! Test out a few milk & flavour variations to see what works best for you.

No, Purition is real food.

Supplements are created to deliver nutrients in a concentrated dose to help fill a nutritional gap or deficiency in a diet. A varied and balanced diet of whole foods will provide the essential nutrients for most people, so there is no need to use supplements.

Purition is simply a healthy, real food meal alternative that can help you achieve your health goals.

Purition is made in the UK at our HQ in Shrewsbury. You’re welcome to visit and meet the team if you’re heading this way.

All flavours are made with our proprietary whole food blend which contains: whole ground golden linseed, sunflower kernels, almonds, coconut, pumpkin seeds, whole chia seeds and sesame seeds. With an additional choice of vegetarian or vegan protein and extra natural fibre.

We use real food ingredients for flavour, such as freeze-dried strawberries, pistachios, ground vanilla pods or cocoa. We balance our recipes with a small amount of stevia, a natural plant-based sweetener. Note! Purition is not sweet, you may want to add a little extra of your own.

Thousands of happy customers have used Purition to lose weight and keep it off, but it’s not a miracle weight loss powder. It’s a healthy whole food meal, ready in seconds, that makes improving your diet much easier.

You can use Purition for weight loss by replacing one or two less nutritious meals with Purition daily. This simple change alone can have a significant impact.

It’s packed with protein, fibre healthy fats and vitamins from whole foods, which will help you to feel fuller for longer and less inclined to overeat.

A 40g serving of Purition contains around 200 calories before you add milk or yoghurt.

40g Purition + 200ml of whole milk = 330 calories
40g Purition + 200ml of semi-skimmed milk = 290 calories
40g Purition + 200ml original coconut milk = 260 calories
40g Purition + 200ml unsweetened coconut milk = 230 calories
40g of Purition + 125g plain 0% zero fat greek yoghurt = 267 calories
40g of Purition + 125g plain 5% full fat greek yoghurt = 316 calories
40g of Purition + 125g plain almond yoghurt = 320 calories

There are no ’empty calories’ in Purition meaning these 200-300 calories will work hard for you, they’re rich in protein, fibre and healthy fats. That means you’ll have plenty of energy and feel satisfied for 4–5 hours.

Yes! All of our flavours are naturally low in carbohydrate but high in fibre to support blood sugar balance. According to our own tests and lots of positive customer feedback, Purition has a negligible impact on blood sugar levels.

If you’re using medication to control your diabetes, make sure to check with your healthcare professional or dietician before getting started.

The Original Purition is made with some whey protein isolate – which is super low in lactose.

To put it in context for you the average cup of tea with just a splash of milk will contain 160mg of lactose, there is less than 4mg of lactose in a serving of Original Purition. That’s 15 times less lactose than you’d find in a cup of tea with a splash of milk! So it should not aggravate IBS or cause bloating.

Our Dairy Free options are 100% plant based and are completely lactose free.

Yes all blends are certified gluten free and coeliac safe at less than 5 ppm.

It is! Purition is a nutrient-rich, low-carb, high-fat meal, ready in under 30 seconds.

The most important thing is to consume Purition daily at least 5 or 6 times a week, so we can help you to make a positive impact on your overall diet. One shake once a week will not be enough to help you make significant dietary change.

Purition is super easy to use — and it’s versatile, too! If you’re new here, we’d strongly recommend that you try it in the following three ways.

Blend it with 200–250ml milk to make a shake. Stir into a small pot or serving of yoghurt for an easy yoghurt bowl. Or simply mix with a dash of hot water or milk to make your own instant porridge.

40g = 4 heaped teaspoons / 1 whole sample sachet
50g = 5 heaped teaspoons / half a baking cup measure

40 or 50g / 4 or 5 heaped teaspoons.

The single serving sachets are 40g, which is enough for most people. If this doesn’t keep you satisfied for 3-4 hours, just try a larger serving.

No. It’s an unnecessary use of plastic and we’re doing everything we can to minimise our impact on the environment.

It’s easy to measure Purition without a scoop or scale. 4 heaped teaspoons is 40g, whereas 5 is 50g, and so on. Purition is food not a supplement, so a little more or a little less doesn’t matter.

If you’d prefer to use a scoop, add a reusable metal scoop to your next 500g bag order.

We strongly recommend that new customers use milk or nut milk and a blender. Purition does not contain additives or milk powders to make water taste like, or feel like, milk in the mouth.

 If you want to use water, try making an instant porridge; mix a splash of hot water from the kettle with 40 or 50g Purition. Alternatively, blend Purition with some berries, banana or ice and 150-175ml of water to make a smoothie.

But always try it with milk first – it’ll be much creamier!

We recommend blending Purition, especially for new customers who may be expecting a smoother texture. If you use a shaker you’ll notice that the texture remains quite nutty and some of the seeds whole.

Real food does not dissolve, it’s the nutty bits that provide the nutrition. As you progress towards a simpler whole food diet, there’s no reason why you can’t use a shaker – but it’s not a good place to start.

If you don’t have a blender, take a look at our no blender serving suggestions.

That depends, each 500g bag contains 10 x 50g servings or 12 x 40g servings. If using once a day, 5-6 times a week, that’s enough for two weeks. Many of our customers will add a half serving to non-sweetened full-fat Greek or natural yoghurt, porridge or even their regular green smoothies.

Reseal the bag after use and keep it in a cool, dark cupboard. You don’t need to keep it in the fridge. Decanting it into a sealed jar or container and keeping it on the side next to your blender is handy for easy access if using it everyday!

500g bags should last up to 6 weeks once opened. There are 12 servings in a 500g bag.

To keep your Purition fresh, re-seal the bag with as little air inside as possible after every use. Store your bags in a cupboard at room temperature – avoid cupboards that are next to the oven or any other source of heat.

If you’d like to mix and match your flavours day-to-day or you’re using less than 4 servings per week, we’d suggest ordering a selection of 40g sachets.
