Huel Ready-to-Drink | Chocolate Meal Replacement Drink | High Protein Drink | Nutritionally Complete, Low Sugar, High Fiber, Plant Based, Vegan, Healthy | 20g Protein Per Bottle | 16.9 Fl Oz (12 Pack)

Surprised at how tasty it is!

The taste takes a little getting used to, but a great meal replacement.

First, let me say that I shook these containers vigourously, in many directions, before I opened them to drink the drink. They were still a consistency that I just can't happily drink. I wish I liked them, because I need to up my protein intake on my diet, and my dr recommended this type of drink to help with that. I chose the chocolate drink because I like chocolate, a lot! It didn't help. I found these to be expensive, but in line with the cost for other drinks of this nature. The nutritional content seems to be good, at least from what my dr said. There is a chocolate flavour, somewhat akin to a Hershey bar flavour with the grainy sugar texture. Personally, I can't stand Hershey bars and prefer darker European chocolate, so that may also be contributing to my dislike of this product. But, I just can't drink this, so any good nutritional content is wasted on me. I did try the drink 3 different times, and now I have the rest of them on the shelf, waiting for someone to drink them that does not mind the odd consistency. For someone like me, that has lived enough years to know what is liked, not liked, and tolerable, I am afraid these are in the intolerable list.

It tastes good. Was impressed at first now the ones I've gotten have chunks in them. Not spoiled .

Great product

Update #2: I like the Vanilla better than the chocolate (that surprises me) and I am not getting the light shakes I was getting with the chocolate. Cocoa powder can sometimes mess with me, so I am thinking was the flavor not the shake. I think I like them. I drink maybe 1 a week because they are so pricey. It makes me wonder why I have tried ensure.... they look like the same thing. I might have to give ensure a try. I really wish these were made with Stevia. I can handle Stevia, but my stomach can handle only so much sucralose. It is sad you charge so much and yet you are basically Ensure... And why do I have to consume in 12 hours? ------------------------- Update: ok the chocolate flavor and thickness is getting easier. I am still adding water to it to water it down, but it is drinkable to me. Blood sugar did ok the second time, but I had only half of it instead of the entire bottle. Jury is still out. I really wish this was made with Stevia and not sucralose :(. My stomach doesnt like fake sugars except it handles Stevia the best. So this might be a deciding factor as well. ------- I was eager to get this so I am eager to review. The taste and thickness is not for the faint at heart. I found it much more tolerable drinking 1/5 of it, adding water to it, shaking it good, drink some more, add a bit more water, and then it wasn't so thick and it became more tolerable. It takes longer in the fridge to get cold than other protein shakes, so adding the cold water makes it colder if I didn't put it in the fridge early enough in the morning. I dont think it is too much liquid. I am not surprised it is thick. 400 calories is a lot to cram in a 16.9 ounce bottle! Not to mention all the nutrients. So for those who think this should be less liquid, remember, this is 400 calories. I am impressed they got it down to 16.9 ounces. I got the chocolate. It is not like other chocolate protein shakes but I didn't mind it. I have to try again, but the first time I had it I think it messed with my blood sugar! I am SHOCKED. I was shaky the entire day. The shake was the only change to my routine. I'm nervous to try it again, but I will give it one more try and then I will update this review. I am going to be SOOO bummed if this messes with my blood sugar. No other protein shake messes with my blood sugar. I realize it is a meal shake, but I didn't think this would mess with my blood sugar.

Love it !

I ordered both the Huel V1 Chocolate RTD and V2 Strawberry RTD. I wanted to love the products because a healthy RTD nutrition shake would benefit me daily. However, after trying the products twice I can say that I was left feeling extremely nauseous and weak. While eating them, my throat felt extremely dry. I thought the chocolate flavor was superior to the strawberry flavor, but that wasn't the problem. Afterwards, I felt so nauseous. I never had this problem with Ensure nutrition shakes before. I hope this product works for some people, but I'm afraid I won't be reordering.
