Huel Black Edition | Cookies and Cream 40g Vegan Protein Powder | Nutritionally Complete Meal | 27 Vitamins and Minerals, Gluten Free | 17 Servings

Using this as part of working on adjusting my lifestyle to stay at a healthier weight. Chocolate and vanilla are good, Salted Carmel an Cookies are pretty awesome. Bummed that strawberry and banana were flops for me flavor wise, I had a hard time getting over the odor once mixed. The flavor was was perfectly edible, but definitely still had an artificial fruit flavor to me. The Shaker is pretty good, cleans out easy and is easy to use. I will probably rotate through those first 4 flavors for now and occasionally throw in a bag of the banana or strawberry to keep things fresh and remind me how good the others are when needed 😂. Over all, solid product, expect gas if you replace more than 1-2 meals a day. Definitely takes a bit for your gut to get adjusted, so just be prepared for that. Otherwise, nutrition profile looks solid, I didn't feel out of energy or any major cravings for other stuff. This seems to be a more or less sustainable lifestyle change that already has me down 5ish lbs over the first month and a half of regular use.

Tastes really chocolatey! I like that it mixes well with non dairy milks in a shaker cup or electric whisk. It’s always the perfect texture and thickness with good nutrients. It definitely helps that it is a complete meal if you need that for on the go. I sometimes cut the serving size in half if I have anything else to eat with this.

I like that this protein drink is a complete meal with a TON of protein, 40 grams! The taste is pleasant. The texture is a bit lumpy despite following the instructions of adding ice and using a blender. Not the smoothest shake I've ever tried, but not a deal breaker. This is better than some other protein powders I've tried that do not have as many nutrients.

Ive gone through 3 bags of chocolate flavored Huel Black by this point, so here is my personal review. Let's start with the good. This product is incredibly convenient for weight loss or a busy lifestyle, or if you are forgetful of eating. The chocolate flavor is quite yummy, if slightly clumpy, and it kept me fueled for around 4-6 hrs with a double scoop, or around 2-3hrs with a single. I could usually get about 15 shakes from 1 bag (making a mix of double and single scoop shakes), which totals to around $2.65-$3.75 per shake, which is a decent price. Now for the bad. If you have GI issues, I cannot recommend this product as I noticed a significant amount of abdominal bloating and bad smelling gas, most likely due to the high fiber content. I had hoped these symptoms would reduce as my body adjusted but it didnt. When ingesting such high amounts of fiber it is very important to stay hydrated, but unfortunately I was left with swollen legs due to water retention, even after drinking copious amounts of water throughout the day. If youre trying to lose weight on a budget and dont mind a bit of bad gas, this isnt a terrible place to start. That being said, if youre looking to use meal shakes long term, I thinks its worthwhile to invest in ones that done cause such a disrupt to the GI tract (my personal preference os Ka'Chava.) PROS: Yummy taste Kept me full for roughly 4hrs, especially with 2 scoops Convenient Cheaper than most brands CONS: Chalky and clumpy when made with blender bottle Caused significant abdominal bloating Bad smelling gas Water retention, leading to swollen legs

I am usually disappointed with the taste and texture of most protein drinks. I was really surprised and impressed with my first glass of Huel Black Edition Chocolate 40g Vegan Protein Powder! The taste and mouth-feel was really good and I really enjoyed the whole glass of this protein drink to the last drop! It may be a little pricy, but I feel that it is very much worth it! I will purchase this product again, as it is considerably better than the others that I have tried and very tasty and enjoyable to drink, almost like a milkshake or smoothie!

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.

Mixed well with water or oat milk. This power option also works out a lot cheaper than buying the bottles, so it's double won for me. Yes, it does taste a little sweeter than the bottles but it's not a deal breaker for me. I'll be stocking back up as and when needed. 5 stars.

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

No scoop or shaker cup just the powder. I enjoy it regardless.

Thanks

Great taste, doesn’t mix the best when using water, ends up with grainy texture when trying to drink. I found that it mixes a lot better with milk. Product doesn’t come with a measuring scoop
