Huel: The Future of Food ..

eww not sure about the My Protein alternative, tastes like cake mix and I don't have a sweet tooth!

Still, I didn't buy any of it for the taste...
 
Just placed my order for the bars, looking forward to using them to get a balanced breakfast and maybe lunch. I'm also heading to the States later this month with work so hopefully Huel can help me balance out the insane portion sizes there!
 
I got one of the bars through as a free tester a few weeks back, surprisingly tasty and a decent texture. Then I looked at the price they were selling them for :eek:

£1.375 per bar on my order, so that is essentially breakfast and lunch for less than a single meal deal? Not too bad IMO
 
To be fair the prices do get vaguely reasonable when you buy them in bulk I suppose but then again I'd need more than just a single bar for a meal.
 
And it's only 250 cal per bar even using the cheapest repeat order + bulk buy that's not a lot of calories / £ - certainly not compared to the powder. However they do have a good macro profile.
 
I purchased the Chocolate and Strawberry and both are OK taste wise.

I have the Strawberry for breakfast at 6:30 and it keeps me satisfied until lunch time at 13:00 then I have a Chocolate one, not to thick but does the job perfectly, I never feel hungry.

Return home at 19:00 and have a normal meal!

So my Huel arrived Monday and been using it here and there in place of meals where I've been too busy.

It certainly tastes oaty and I find using 2 scoops to suffice then again I'm making it with milk and peanut butter to make up the calories and to mask the oaty flavour.
 
It certainly does taste oaty and after a few days the vanilla flavour settled down for me as I wasn't a fan at first. Finding Myprotein one even worse now though, overly sweet with bad after taste.
 
I just use the 600ml bottle and Breville blender, comes out good consistency after 10 seconds. It's the taste that's really bothering me, had it an hour before leg day today and almost chucked and that certainly wasn't exercise related. Thinking of cutting the experiment short as I'm actually missing Huel now!
 
The vanilla huel is actually quite nice. I was surprised. I've been drinking it with about 500ml of water and 4 scoops.

Seems to shake up ok in a standard shaker cup. A few lumps but nothing to worry about !
