Has anyone tried Huel?

It's a meal replacement programme that gives you all your required nutrients in a shake. Its USP is that it is nutritious, quick, vegan, and cheap.

I'm thinking of giving it a shot. Any feedback?

its very sweet and an odd texture but you get used to it.

I thought it sounded interesting until I saw it contains bloating and gut wrenching ingredients:

Xanthan Gum and Guar Gum, Flavouring, Sweetener: Sucralose.

Ingredients list here: uk.huel.com/pages/nutritional-information-and-ingredients?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI19ezmOi74AIVT5PtCh0Wiw0VEAAYASACEgKDDvD_BwE#ingredients

I wondered this too. I'm thinking about it to save the faff of lunch prep at work.

Years ago I used the slim fast type stuff and it has put me off!

Interested in this thread?

My cousin was using it and I tried the vanilla one.

Tasted like feet.

I found it tasted better with a bit of instant coffee in it.

I use it all the time, taste fine, no ill effects and fills me up. Saves me cash so I don't buy crappy expensive sandwich lunches at work.

I have 1 scoop mid morning as I don't do breakfast and that's enough for me and two scoops for lunch. Everyone is different and has different needs.

Trick is to get the consistency YOU want with the water. Always put the water in first and shake not powder first.

Also some people rave about preprepping and storing in fridge. I find it makes it too 'milky/creamy' for me personally. I make, shake and leave a room temp until mid morning/lunch and that does me.

Not an #ad by the way. Just a genuine user Smile

Yes and it's perfectly adequate.

Which ones taste the best?

So it’s essentially Slim Fast but vegan?

trumptrump · 15/02/2019 00:42

And more nutritional, I think

Unless they have improved it, I wouldn't bother. It tastes awful. I love the idea but it should be implemented in a way that makes it palatable.

Clearly lots of people disagree with me and are happy with it though.
