Great product

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.

Overall its pretty good. Tastes similar to vanilla milkshake. A little gritty but not terrible. The biggest complaint is the packaging. Comes in a resealable bag that gets powder everywhere when u open it and then its nearly impossible to seal back because of all the powder stuck in it. Had to move to a different container.

Fantastic flavor!! I have tried the chocolate, the banana, caramel and now the vanilla. All are excellent. Compared to other vegan proteins this actually tastes like food or a smoothie without the gross aftertaste so many other brands have. We are completely making the switch to Huel and so happy to finally enjoy getting my protein. Oh yeah and there is no scoop, but I don’t care. I have a measuring cup. Easy fix. Can’t believe how mental the reviews are around that. Their scooper is close to 1/3 cup.

I bought this protein powder/meal replacement because of all the hype but I gotta say that for what it is -- it tastes terrible. And in case you are wondering, I have tried my fair share of protein powders--isopure, dymatize, muscle milk, optimum and I just don't see this living up to the hype. Maybe it meets the nutritional standards but it tastes terrible. I would not buy it again.

Product is very hard to dissolve. I have a bullet blender and have blended it multiple times and it’s still very chalky and gritty. The taste isn’t bad. Just wish it was a smoother consistency.

I really like this a lot. I used to get soylent all the time but they were constantly sold out of the larger tubs. This one is actually more filling than soylent. The price is a bit higher but I like it more.

Older reviews say there’s no scoop included, but as of September 2025 there IS a scoop included in each bag. I’ve tried Chocolate and Vanilla. Vanilla is better in my opinion. Chocolate: yeah it’s chocolatey, hint of banana flavor and artificial sweetener-resembling aftertaste. I don’t like banana so I started adding a little cinnamon and a date/sugar and it became something I would look forward to. Vanilla: I don’t have to add anything to this! It almost tastes like birthday cake. Sorcery. I always mix it in a blender with ice and water. It feels like a high-protein meal so afterwards I like to sip ginger tea.

This is a great protein drink - nice flavour and easy to mix. I use milk and a scoop of yoghurt to make it extra creamy.

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

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.

I only use one scoop because I bought this as meal replacement to lose weight - if you have the 90g scoop it's 400 calories & this eats into my 1200 allowance, plus it's very sweet. I whizz it in my blender for a minute but it still comes out a little grainy. On the plus side, when I've had a glass for breakfast, I don't feel hungry and it does keep me going until lunch without craving a snack.

Taste nice, fair quantity. Only negative is there is NO SCOOP. 🤦🏻‍♂️
