Huel Black Edition | Vanilla 40g Vegan Protein Powder | Nutritionally Complete Meal | 27 Vitamins and Minerals, Gluten Free | 17 Servings | Scoop not included to reduce plastic

This stuff is fabulous! It's a bit like oatmeal for texture just using the shaker bottle, but I really like it. Probably would get completely smooth in a blender. I really like the taste - not too sweet. It really does fill you up and lasts.

So full disclosure here, I am not a regular user of this product, so I am a bit biased. I was unable to obtain my usual product before my trip to Vegas, so I purchased Huel. I did find the flavor is good and a scoop was in fact included, thankfully as trying to measure it accurately would have been a nightmare. I used almond milk for my mixer. When I drank it all, there was a still a bit clinging to the sides but my normal one does that and I usually just put in a bit of water to thin it up and get the remaining nutrients. I will be finishing the bag when I get home in my normal breakfast smoothies in which I use a blender, and I will see how that goes. My only real complaint is the 17 servings per bag. Directions say you need to use 2 scoops, which seems a bit smaller than the 20 servings I am used to from my usual product at one scoop per serving, which is only a few dollars more.

So I've been using this meal replacement for a couple weeks. So far, I'm a bit underwhelmed when comparing to the other meal replacements I've used. I got this product because I thought the appetite suppression would be better and help me get through breakfast and lunch, but so far I find the appetite suppression to be mediocre. I'm hungry again even before the afternoon. I don't get that full feeling entirely when I consume 16oz milkshake. The taste is also nothing to write home about. Its fine for a meal replacement shake, but not better than anything else out there. For the price, I thought this product would be great. I don't think I'll be buying another bag of this.

Tastes great and is an excellent meal replacement for high energy people. I even mix it in with fruit smoothies sometimes for extra kick. Great value for what you pay!

I almost never mix up a Huel and drink it immediately. I mix it up right after I drink the last one, which has been sitting mixed in the fridge for hours already, up to a day or more sometimes. This ENORMOUSLY helps with the texture. I do this with all my shakes. They are all better after soaking longer. If it soaks too long it starts to ferment and opening the shaker bottle will come with an obvious pressure pop and it tastes sparkly kind of like kombucha. The website says don't let it sit too long pre-mixed but so far I've never noticed any dire effects. Could be I'm gambling with my life?It doesnt come with a scoop. This is to save money and the earth. Your first order of Huel from their website includes one, but I just use a stainless steel measuring cup I have set aside in a dish on the counter for this one purpose.Add the powder to the liquid, not the liquid to the powder, unless you like bricks at the bottom of your bottle. You can't put dry powder in a bottle for transport and add water later wherever you are. Learned this the hard way.Swirl the bottle before shaking it, so you don't just slam pack the top of the bottle full of sludge that never mixes in. Learned this the hard way too.When I first open a new bag, I will take a toothbrush I have for cleaning shaker bottles, and dry scrub out the zipper of the huel bag. Wherever they pack this stuff and seal the bag, there is often powder in the zipper. I do this until I'm able to get the zip to close. You can also just fold and use a clip, or dump it all in a repurposed protein powder jug or a big plastic tupperware.I like to mix my chocolate huel with chocolate vega sport protein. ~ 60g Huel, ~30g Vega. It's like drinking chocolate pudding.The coffee flavor has caffeine. May seem obvious but I learned the hard way after a sleepless night.Huel contains MCT oil from coconut. This has me searching for alternatives because I am mildly allergic. I used to use straight MCT oil and could immediately tell that the area around my nose would get itchy after taking it. The effect of the Huel is milder to the point that I've ignored it for years, but I figure it's time to quit giving myself mild allergic reactions constantly. This info is for anyone who might notice anything similar.Any new product may come with a gastrointestinal adjustment period. Oats are commonly associated with gas. You might want to get a digestive enzyme supplement along with your first order. I have never noticed a particular reaction with Huel myself, but it's pretty common that new proteins and fibers introduced into your diet will have an adjustment period and you may eventually decide you're not compatible if it never goes away.

I was pleasantly surprised that this didn’t taste super artificial. If you’ve ever had cream of wheat, it’s pretty much that but drinkable. I add cinnamon to mine and it’s a great breakfast or meal before working out.It keeps the hunger away but doesn’t feel like I’ve eaten a brick (unlike oatmeal or actual breakfast foods). Works great on my eating schedule for a 75Hard.

Not my favorite. the flavor isn't as dominant as I would of liked. The vanilla is the best so far

So far I have enjoyed the Chocolate flavor and the Banana is also pretty good, although opinions will vary throughout the people in my circle that have tried it. Over all a boost in energy and initial pickup, I wouldn't expect this to be a 1 meal a day thing. It feels good for about 3-4hr then your looking for more to eat. For me its all about getting something in my body that is healthier than some microwave meal or a stop at the fast food joint. It also removes the tasks of, travel to and from the store, shopping in the store, cooking, dishes, dealing with people in the public, searching for a how to cooking/meal on YouTube ect. Win Win for me. A tip of mine would be to absolutely use a blender or mixer of some sort, and allow to rest for a minimum of 15minutes, for better results at least an hour for a smoother texture. We are mixing water and reconstituting a very dry powder and it needs to have time absorb the liquid. A quick mix and drink will leave things feeling gritty. I would also recommend using a milk/milk substitute for replacement of the water if your looking for a more creamy texture like a milk shake of sorts. But water works good for me and is less sugar. I hope you all have a great day and good luck finding something that works for you.
