Liking the cinnamon swirl at the moment, bung in some dried fruit and leave it over night and it’s delicious.
Huel: The Future of Food ..

Currently on the Huel Black Strawberry & Cream, and it is lovely shoved into a nutribullet for 10secs.
I also have the huel Chick & Mushroom savoury. It is very nice, and very filling however I find that making it according to the guidelines results in the pasta being a tad crunch so I often leave it for longer than 5mins. I certainly add more water than usual too otherwise the consistency of the meal is rather thick. Overall taste is similar to a pot noodle chicken and mushroom, without the noodles. I'd give it a good 7/10.
I am not a fan of any of their protein bars. Tried them all and I'd rather stick to the Grenade high protein, low sugar bars.

I've had about 7 of the Hot & Savoury now and you're dead right, definitely needs more water than they advise and I find, a good 15 minutes to prepare (add water, stir, wait 5, stir, wait 5, stir, wait 5, nom)
Another point of note, water needs to be absolutely boiling straight from the kettle, even leaving it a few minutes means the pasta/rice never properly softens.
Going to give Huel Black ago and the Hot & Savoury.
Gone with Strawberry and Cream, Cinnamon Swirl and the Madras.
Looks like they gave me a free new shaker, hot mug thing and a load of scoops. Thought they only gave stuff out for free with your first order.

Let me know your thoughts on the Madras please.
I just did a top up order of Cajun Chicken (honestly, best one they do), Carbonara and giving Korma a try for the first time.

I got my next order of Strawberries and Cream Black along with a new savoury pouch that is Cajun Pasta, which was delicious and better than Chicken & Mushroom imo.

I guess it depends on your tastebuds but for me Proteinworks is vastly superior in taste and texture to Huel, with Huel I had to add honey or milkshake powder to make it taste nice enough and the texture I could never get used to, too gritty/powdery for my liking, yes it's cheaper but I wouldn't say it's "cheap" as in poorer quality, it's just a different formula
Taste and texture concern me much less than quality of ingredients. I'm more than happy with the taste and texture of Huel always have been.
It definitely is poorer quality, maltodextrin is used for instance.

I don't really use the regular Huel, only the hot & savoury but i've done enough research to see how much effort Huel put into what goes into their products on a granular level.

I'm not knocking the cheap stuff, bit there is a reason Huel is the price it is and a reason their are cheaper options.

Why did they name their product after the sound of someone throwing up?
They didn't they named it after Human fUEL.

Fuel for humans and not made from hopefully. Soilent green anyone? Maybe GrUEL would be better? Does it give you gas and the runs?
