Purition Superseed Breakfast Smoothie
I like smoothies for breakfast, as I don’t like to eat anything ‘proper’ first thing. My smoothies usually consist of banana and soya milk and when I did have some flax seeds that came in a goodie bag after a race, I used to chuck those in. Whether the seeds did any good or not, I don’t know but it made me feel healthier knowing they were in there.
Purition make a range of 100% natural sports shakes and this morning, I tried the Purition Superseed Breakfast Smoothie which contains whey protein isolate, flaxseed, coconut flour, almonds, sunflower kernels, sesame seed, cocoa, chia seed, pumpkin seed, inactive brewers yeast, psyllium husk, apple pectin and stevia.
No matter how far I stuck my nose in the packet, I couldn’t smell a thing. I mixed it up in the blender with soya milk and it still didn’t smell of anything. It didn’t blend well, leaving a ton of powder in the bottom of the blending jug but it did have a natural, appetising appearance.
There was a faint taste of coconut and at first I thought it was grainy and powdery, but realised it had seeds in it, which I got used to.
Overall, a nice smoothie but I’d add a banana for more taste and try to blend it properly.
The Purition Superseed Breakfast Smoothie comes in a single serving at £2 (plus £2.99 postage) or a 560g pack containing 14 servings. The 14 serving pack costs £18.95 (plus £2.99 postage) which, by my calculations makes it good value at £1.56 per serving, considering the price of all the ingredients if you were to buy them yourself and also considering the price of the smoothies on the supermarket shelves.
And yes, I did run today. A man was trying to pull his little dog along but the little dog didn’t want to go and I thought the little dog had stopped because he wanted to say hello to me. But the little dog hadn’t stopped to say hello, he’d stopped to growl at me. The man said ‘sorry, he doesn’t like joggers’ and I said ‘oh, sorry little doggy’. Then I thought, I wasn’t even running when the little doggy saw me, I was walking and, anyway, I’m a runner, not a jogger and I know this because the t-shirt I was wearing said Nike Running, not Nike Jogging.
