Anyone on HUEL?

@Well_is_it - terror at a third of a fathom.

I drank my first vanilla one this morning. 3 scoops in about a pint of water.

I say drank, forced down.

There’ll be no force required soon…

So far so calm tummy.

Put ice in first, then aeropress coffee over the ice. Topped up with water and added Huel. Fucking lovely.

Huel is much less easy to drink sat at home with a full fridge of equally edible food.

tried it with cinnamon yesterday and didn't like it.
today was plain but made in blender, no lumps was nice but there was a weird aftertaste may have needed to rinse my blender cup better before using.

find it hard to get excited about it tbh, it's just another food option in my cupboard now. may end up just using it solely on my 3 days in the office after this week for the non-hassle reasons.

Our bistro is fried fish, Mac cheese, scampi and lasagne, or team effort reconstituted chicken products. All served with chips. All the artery clogging goop that's no good. Everytime I get a jacket spud with salad I get Montezuma's revenge on the way home, suggesting money salad and spud are all handled without a hand wash. No wonder I drink huel.

Got half way down the first page before I realised that this wasn't meme. Honestly ... I had no idea about this ... is it a portmanteau of "Hungry" and "gruel"?

Serious question; what happens to your personal eating culture/routine if the company goes bust and supplies dry up? Beware proprietary tech

improvisation or turn on each other?... the thought of liquidising frozen peas with vanilla yoghurt and bran flakes fills me with horror... (I think theres a lot more to it than that). Theres alternatives, but I like the idea of buying British.

Sounds very strong, much stable.

I mean it's probably similar to Quorn and other proprietry products who are just the leaders in a heavily patented, but diverse industry? I wonder how much it costs to actually make the stuff.

I heard once, that if Quorn's recipe and means of production was made open-source it would have solved world hunger already. That sounds loaded, but just mean it as a relevant aside.

It's not exactly hard to make. Plenty of other companies out there doing similar stuff. Huel is just a bit more biased towards a higher protein and fat content and less sugar than say, Soylent (which is open source).

HU man fu EL

Innit?

Pritch from Dirty Sanchez is a very good ultra triathlete these days - got thru a couple of bags of Huel doing double iron at Enduroman UK last weekend. I just assumed it'd been invented by a Welsh guy called Hywel.

Something unheard of happened this morning. I woke up at 6:30, half an hour before the alarm went off.

Yeah you do sleep well on it. My normal digestion must be like scrap yard processing machinery by comparison. Bought some dried berry pieces and whacked them in and left it to chill. Came out great.

Has anyone travelled with this. I work at a lot of crap offices out in the sticks where I'm generally reduced to finding something from the 7/11 or similar the night before. This seems like it could solve that problem but is flying with it dubious?

I travel with bags of climbing chalk and have yet to have any issues with it. I think they have machines that can test substances on the spot, too.

Also, if you take it in hand luggage, it's so out in the open that it would be weird if someone was like "and here's a massive bag of heroin".

Tape the bag to your body under your shirt, they'll never find it. And if they do, well, it's clearly 100% nutritionally complete powder-food.

I travel all the time with it in planes in my hand luggage, never had anyone question it.

you could always shelf it...

Cheers. If I don't have to transport it in condoms that I've swallowed then I may be tempted to get some.

I went to the Congo with it - saved my life, even in a relatively good hotel the food was absolutely gopping

Bit of a bum bay sapphire today, god knows what's up with my normally efficient huel filled bowels...

Huel filled bowels...
