Pretty much! I made these more as a convenience snack to take climbing. They're still relatively balanced (minimal sugar, the egg probably enhances it and counters the added carbs etc). It saves me buying a bar of something or bits of chicken when finishing a session, basically. It's as close to plain Huel in solid form without shelling out for bars while taking-in less sugar (per cookie).
But you're right about the recipes defeating the whole point, in general.
These things took literally 10 mins to make, and I did it while making dinner.

I can't help but feel that the second you add anything other than liquid to the powder you're defeating the entire point of 'eating' it in the first place.
sure they include a nice page of recipes where you turn your 400kcal meal replacement into a 7-800kcal one full of tons of other shit but of course it's in their interest to have you using as much of the stuff as they can get you to and if they can get you into the habit of using it in everything they will double their profit from you easily.
it just seems odd of going to the trouble of buying something that is 100% nutritionally balanced and then unbalancing it by throwing whatever shit you can find in your cupboard in with it.
I think you're either replacing your meal with it, or fucking up what could have just as easily been a normal meal by trying to shoehorn it in where normal ingredients would have not only been fine but would have produced a much better result.
tl;dr if you are adding food to your huel, just eat real food.
