Huel: Ready to Drink

"Week straight experiment"
^{September 24, 2020 @ 18:58}

Tried the berry one for a week straight. Rather expensive but it was worth the challenge. It left me feeling incredibly unsatiated that I had to consume 400-800 calories extra almost every day. Part of it may be due to it being so high in fat (44%). Regarding the flavor I may just have a weak palate but it was way too strong for me and tasted very artificial so it almost made me retch; I solved this by downing it quickly and simply not breathing in through the nose. I also became very constipated, in the same way I was back when I was only eating trash food. It is also really expensive, but most of it comes down to convenience I guess. In summary, I would recommend RTD only as an exception now and then, and instead mainly relying on the powder or the new Hot & Savory if you’re doing Huel full-time.

"vanilla eh?"

Tried this a few times now but it stays firmly in convenience rather than staple food for me. I’ll grab some if I’m pecking and spot it, but I can’t see myself hoarding lots in a cupboard.

Taste is a bit dull but nice enough, but man it leaves me feeling far more full up than Huel powder for the same kcal levels.

"Super thick shake, but you know it's healthy"

I got a couple of these for £3.50 a bottle in Sainsburys. A bit steep considering they’re £2.50 on the Huel site but you can’t argue with the convinience. The shake itself is thick but lump free (unlike my attempts mixing huel powders!) and the taste is what you’d expect from Huel. Not so much bland, but in typical huel fashion the vanilla was palettable but extremely subtle and the chocolate, whilst somewhat chocolatey, didn’t really taste how I expected. I’m expecting to come round to it after a few more bottles though. Nothing not too like really.
