Slimfast or Huel? Opinions please

Hello,
I'm looking to lose a few lbs before our holiday in August, I've got approx 5 weeks to go! I've looked at Huel but it's rather costly. I'm considering using Slimfast shakes. Can anyone please tell me your experiences on either of these? Is Huel worth the money? Or have you done Slimfast and been successful on it?
Thank you

I would recommend Huel, it's plant based so doesn't contain animal fats, simple ingredients and more vitamins/ protein.

Yes it's higher in calories but it keeps you satisfied longer.

Second Huel. I feel really good on it.
Protein Works also do good shakes and are a bit cheaper than Huel.

I use the diet meal replacement drinks from Protein Works and they are a lot cheaper, and have some really good flavours

Ok thank you. I'll look into Protein Works

Womens best shakes are the nicest I’ve tried. All the others including Slimfast taste revolting and I just couldn’t do it

Exante is good and pretty good offers usually.

I’ve just bought Huel - Hot and Savoury Tomato and Basil. (Just add hot water). I’m using it to replace sandwiches at lunchtime and it’s very convenient. It’s like coarse, chewy baby food with tomato cup of soup flavour. Not exactly a treat but it’s extremely filling and apparently nutritious. The best thing is it’s savoury. To eat a healthy diet it’s important to train your palate away from sugar. I couldn’t drink a ‘meal replacement shake’ that was artificially sweetened ice cream flavour.
