Huel Black Edition - Nutritionally Complete 100% Vegan Gluten-Free - Less Carbs More Protein - Powdered Meal (Vanilla, 1 Bag)

Vanilla and strawberry and cream are definitely the best flavours . Best with milk and I bought a vortex power mixer . I put the milk in turn th mixer on then put the huel in its much easier and it makes it lump free

I only use chocolate and accidentally got the vanilla flavor which was not bad. Did not cause any tummy issues with flavor change so all was good. I am back on chocolate again after finishing this.

Very expensive yet to feel results but no complaints

Surprisingly tasty, dissolves well even with three scoops if you use their shaker or a mixing ball. Good macros.

I tried a few flavors of huel ready to drink bottles and they were very good. I assumed this would be similar but it is not at all similar, not in taste, not in texture. It really does taste and feel like cardboard powder. That said, I am too lazy so I should be able to finish this 1.5 kg pack in a few months but not ordering it again ever. May be they should add a measuring spoon. Edit: from 2 -> 4 stars. I have gotten used to the taste. Will order it again because of ease of use. Sometimes I don't want to cook at night after work and this is a healthy way to get some nutrients.

Just as the sdvert says. Great taste and full of goodness. Mskes you feel full for hours snd releases energy to.

Absolutely vile. The taste is horrible and it's grainy. Doesn't come with a scoop either. Not worth the money!

Wife loves this has it everyday, says it has a good flavour and is easy to mix.

The zipper on the bag doesn’t reseal. This is likely due to the ultra fine powder, but who has time to meticulous clean the mechanism when bag clips exist. Unless you have the steadiest hand in the world the combination of the ultra fine powder and poorly designed bag will result in a huge mess. So scoop over a sink. That being said, this tastes amazing, feels good as you digest it, and fills you up for several hours. This is likely the only thing I’ve ever eaten that I prefer the vanilla to the chocolate flavor. I haven’t tried the other ones because I use it for breakfast and can’t get on board with the idea of dessert flavors that early in the morning. And no chocolate doesn’t count. Chocolate is an all day flavor.

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 bought Huel Black Edition because I believed I was paying for a high quality, nutritionally complete product from a company I could trust. Then I learned that Consumer Reports independently tested Huel Black Edition and found 6.3 micrograms of lead in a single serving, enough that Consumer Reports specifically recommended consumers not use the product. I had already consumed about six servings. What makes this particularly upsetting for me is that I have *alpha thalassemia minor,* a hereditary blood disorder, so I am extremely intentional about what I consumes and have spent my life avoiding unnecessary exposure to heavy metals and contaminants. Had I known about these independent test results beforehand, I would never have purchased this product. I understand that trace heavy metals can occur naturally in plant based ingredients. That is not the point. This is marketed as a premium, health focused meal replacement. I trusted Huel to exercise the level of care that positioning implies. Huel disputes Consumer Reports' findings and cites lower numbers from its own testing...But as the customer, I am apparently expected to gamble on which laboratory result is correct AFTER after I have already consumed the product. I did not pay premium prices to participate in that experiment. I feel swindled, and more importantly, I feel that my trust as a health conscious and careful consumer, was abused. Six servings were six too many for me. I threw the rest away. Trust lost. Customer lost.

I give this 4.5 stars. The first time I tried it I did not shake it up enough and it was fairly gritty. I’ve used an immersion blender and I’ve shaken it by hand and both seem to come out the same. Well, I haven’t been able to get it completely smooth texture. The flavor has really grown on me and I now look forward to my daly Huel shake

Huel Black Edition Vanilla is a convenient option when you need a quick meal without a lot of preparation. The vanilla flavor is a nice choice if you prefer something simple, and it’s easy to mix up when you’re short on time. I like the convenience of having a quick meal option available for busy days. A good option for anyone looking for a simple, high-protein meal replacement, are wanting to increase your intake on a exercise program, or try and replace some of the bad processed foods on a diet program. You will feel full, the ingredients are right there on the label. So you know what you're getting. And while it's not the cheapest one out there, sometimes you just get what you pay for.
