Which one offers you the best tasting and most nutritionally sound product for the right price?

In a market that is becoming more populated does either Whole Fuel or Huel allow you to ditch solid food in favour of a nutritionally packed drink?

Huel launched first in the UK in 2015 which has given it a couple of years to refine its pioneering meal replacement offering.

Whole Fuel only launched in January of this year but it comes from fitness powerhouse, Myprotein which is known for high-quality and reasonably priced health supplements.

Here we review both Whole Fuel and Huel to find out which meal replacement brand is the best one for you. Both of which come in a variety of different flavours so to make it a fair comparison we have used the vanilla flavour for both.

Some of the mass gainer? variety have enough calories in one serving that will put you over the recommended daily amount.

Then Soylent came along which made people look at meal replacements in a different way. Launched in 2014 from a crowdfunding campaign the previous year, Soylent posed the question, what if you never have to eat again

It opened people up to the possibility that perhaps they don’t need to eat solid food provided their bodies could receive all the required vitamins, minerals and other nutrients it needs from a drink.

The story of Huel

Huel launched in the UK in 2015 following the success of the Soylent in the US the previous year. Co-founder, Julian Hearn, says the concept of Huel had been in development as early as 2012.
