This combination of macronutrients makes the Purition ideal for people on keto diet (opens in new tab) and having a Purition shake as a snack can also help you lose weight with keto (opens in new tab) faster. In case you aren't familiar, keto diet throws your metabolic system into a state called ketosis, a process where your body covers its energy needs from fats as opposed to carbohydrates. This can train your body to burn fat more efficiently, let it be dietary or stored fat.
• How to boost your metabolism – lose weight and keep it off with less effort
In order to stay in ketosis, you will need to keep your carb levels at bay: strict keto requires the daily amount of carbs to stay under 20 grams. For comparison, there is approx. 27 grams of carbs in a medium banana. In a portion of Purition powder, however, there is only around 3 grams. Check out the keto diet side effects – they aren't fun, but they aren't life threatening either.

Why should you try the Purition meal replacement powders
Purition meal replacement powder is not only for people on keto; on the contrary, anyone who is considering switching to a more healthy diet might want to take a look at Purition. As mentioned above, it has plenty of protein in each serving, not as much as your average whey protein, but still a solid amount.
As well as having a good balance of macronutrients, Purition also has a variety of micronutrients in it. Having just one serving of Purition a day can effectively boost your vitamin and mineral levels without having to chow down a ton of kale or broccoli. One portion of Purition contains these vitamins and minerals (%RI at the end of each row):
- Vitamin E 6.8 mg 68%
- Thiamin (B1) 2.5 mg 227%
- Riboflavin (B2) 0.4 mg 29%
- Niacin 3.1 mg 21%
- Vitamin B6 0.5 mg 36%
- Food Folate 50.9 µg 25%
- Pantothenate 1.2 mg 20%
- Potassium 641.3 mg 32%
- Calcium 291.3 mg 29%
- Phosphorous 491.4 mg 70%
- Magnesium 221 mg 59%
- Iron 4.6 mg 33%
- Zinc 3.3 mg 33%
- Copper 0.8 mg 80%
- Manganese 2 mg 100%
- Selenium 9.3 µg 17%
As for taste, Purition comes in 14 different flavours so you can mix up the flavours a bit. The currently available flavours include Beetroot & Chocolate, Chai Latte and Pistachio. It's worth noting that although there are loads of interesting flavours, the taste is subtle and definitely not sweet, so if you are after some more sweetness, you might want to mix Puriton with some milk, a banana and some berries (if you are on keto, maybe use greek yoghurt and erythritol/xylitol).

Better still, there is also a Purition vegan range (opens in new tab) including unique flavours like Vegan Hemp Chocolate. Gone are the days when losing weight fast (opens in new tab) on a vegan diet (opens in new tab) was hard. The Puriton vegan range has the same macronutrient range and sports an almost essential micronutrient matrix too.
Whether you want to lose weight or just want to stay healthy, Purition meal replacement shakes can help you achieve both – sooner. This is definitely not a magic powder and we don't recommend using Purition as the only source of nutrients, but making it part of a balanced diet is a good step in the right direction for sure.
