Which flavour is lowest in carbs?

Purition makes following a low-carb or keto diet easy-peasy. By choosing Purition for breakfast and/or lunch, you won’t need to spend as much time planning, prepping and cooking low-carb meals.

Thankfully, at around 2–4g net carbs per meal, all Purition flavours are low-carb and keto-friendly. The ingredients in each flavour are virtually the same, meaning there’s a minimal difference when it comes to the macros. They each contain our core blend of fresh nuts and seeds, plus whey or plant protein and a little extra fibre from psyllium husk and apple pectin. The only significant difference comes down to the natural flavourings.

But if you’re using Purition to support a strict low-carb or keto way of eating, you’re probably curious to know which Purition flavour is lowest in carbohydrates. After all, 2 or 3g carbs saved is 2 or 3g extra carbs for later!

Here’s some handy information to help you find the best Purition flavour to fit your low-carb or keto lifestyle:

Which Purition flavour is lowest in carbs/best for keto?

The following 3 Purition flavours have the lowest net carb content of our core flavour range:

• Original Coffee & Walnut: 2.8g
• Vegan Coffee & Walnut: 2.6g
• Vegan Vanilla: 3g

Here is a full breakdown of the carbohydrate content of all Purition flavours – from lowest to highest net carbs – in both Original & Vegan.

Which milk and yogurt are best for a low-carb diet?

The carb count between various dairy and plant milks vary considerably, so what you choose to prepare your daily Purition with can make a significant difference to the total carb content per serving.

Generally speaking, oat and rice milk are high in carbohydrates, while unsweetened soy, coconut and almond milks come with a relatively low carb count. Bear in mind that the carbohydrate content of sweetened plant milks can be significantly higher than unsweetened/no sugar versions.

When it comes to yogurt, coconut and soy based yoghurts are typically the lowest in carbohydrates. Our favorite is coconut yogurt with a clean and short ingredients list!

It’s worth picking an unsweetened milk or yogurt, especially if you’re going to be using it daily.

Make sure to double-check the ingredients list too. It’s not uncommon for brands to include gums (thickeners) in their recipes, particularly if they’re opting for a longer shelf life.

Wherever possible, aim for the milks that keep their ingredients list clean and short.

Can I just mix Purition with water?

If you’re following a strict low-carb or keto lifestyle, you might prefer to skip milk and yoghurt altogether.

Honestly, Purition tastes much better when blended with milk – but if you’d prefer to go milk-free, we get it! Try out the following serving suggestions:

Make a shake with water: Blend 40g Purition with 175ml water, 3 ice cubes and some frozen berries. Avoid using too much water – it’ll end up very thin and watery. You could add a dash of cream, if your regime allows?

Make an instant low-carb porridge: Take 40–50g of Purition, add a splash of hot boiled water or warm milk (you’ll only need a dash, so the carb content will be minimal) and mix well. If you’d like a thinner porridge, add a little more water/milk until you hit that sweet spot. Finish by adding a light sprinkling of low-carb toppings, such as nuts, berries or desiccated coconut, if you’d like.

What are net carbs, anyway?

Net carbs is the number of carbohydrates in a food, minus its grams of fibre. It accounts for the fact that fibre isn’t fully digested by the body and has a minimal effect on blood sugar levels.

Net Carbs = Total Carbohydrates – Fibre

So, for example, if a UK ingredient deck read Carbs 3g and Fibre 6g, a US packet would read Total Carbs 9g and Net Carbs 3g. Purition’s nutritional information is based on Net Carbs.
