The taste, flavor, and spice were much better than expected. It also made me need the restroom sooner, which was expected and I had been warned. But, that is what fiber does.
Ordering was easy. I would appreciate more sustainable packaging.
My husband uses this so I tired it. The banana is good mixed with the chocolate. The water bottle makes it easier to mix into a homogenous solution.
Great to be able to reliably get in a complete meal when pressed for time/instead of eating out. Have found texture and taste to be much improved with milk over water. Their recent price increase has made it a bit harder to justify than before but it's a rare meal shake that doesn't leave you feeling heavy.
Can be difficult to make it dissolve fully and not have some left at the bottom without a blender, the strawberry flavor was terrible. The bags are also a real pain and always spill little bits of powder
I've been a Hueligan since day 1. There's not much to say. Mission, impact, product for me are really top. They have improved so much over the years expanding to so many flavours and uses. The standard classic powder includes Oat as a full meal. Nowadays I use a lot of Black and Complete Protein. It has helped me in times of uncertainty and being overweight, and I can't help but recommend that you try it. From a practical single shaker to a perfect add-on snack as a bar, until combined with your real food (try Huel in a soup, is fantastic!)
The official forum is a great source of inspiration if you have any doubts. The merchandising is of an incredible quality considering the standards. I would love to see more awareness of Huel for help with stress, weight, and awareness as a "medical supplement" as well as being convenient and tasty.
Went halves on a fairly big bag of Huel's powder with my flatmate in 2020 after seeing their marketing everywhere and we were trying to 'optimise' our lives a bit better. Personally I found the flavour (we had Chocolate) a bit artificial and although I did feel full after drinking it, I never really felt like tradeoff of saving time (by having Huel) vs cooking food that I enjoyed eating was worth it. I have also tried the pre-mixed bottles and did actually enjoy them a fair amount more, but it's an expensive way to have your meals so couldn't really continue with the pre-mixed ones. I haven't tried Huel's food products, their bars or their newer 3.0 product yet so can't comment on those but I would like to try them to be sure. If you're looking to optimise your time and get a quick meal with all the nutrition you need then Huel would be worth trying – especially if you're already used to meal replacement drinks/shakes or protein shakes – but I think it works better supplementing meals you're already having vs replacing them entirely. Maybe I just love eating 'real' food too much? Good product – just not for me.
The taste could be improved. Packaging was great and love the style of the brand. But the flavour was a bit artificial – no problems with it being gritty or sandy though like I have seen in some other products, however.
I tried the v 1.0 chocolate meal replacement shake. It had great texture and was a generous portion (500ml) so I was very full after drinking it. The chocolate flavour was great but by the end of it I was struggling to finish it because of the sickly sweet flavour. It's definitely appetizing, but feels like the equivalent of half a litre of a chocolate milkshake!
Wouldn't be my everyday choice because of the dessert-like flavour, and it could be nicer to have them in smaller, 250ml portions so you can have two different flavours per "meal". Still a good option for busy days on the go, though!
Sufficient product as meal replacement.
Packaging is someone clumsy.
I love the company, the product wasn't for me. I ordered the huel powder and just didn't use it as much as I thought I would, taste was nice though.
Great company, nothing I would add.
