Can’t offer a rationale beyond that I’d prefer more protein. No artificial sweeteners is a bonus. As for protein absorption, it’s probably pretty bad anyway compared to other dietary sources. Red meat is still king, hemeproteins from meat have a far superior bioavailability than most plant based protein sources. But I’m not having a meat smoothie as a meal replacement.
And at the end of the day, I’m more likely to consider my daily macros rather than worry about how they break down over individual meals.
And for the 20g thing to be true, there would be no point in eating more than a 100g serving of beefsteak at once (from a protein absorption perspective). And while I don’t have the empirical data to support it, I find that hard to believe.

I had a 1.6kg roast chicken to myself for lunch the other day.
About 200g of protein in one sitting, stayed awake for an hour, then had a necessary 2 hour meat snooze.I'd like to think a bit more than 20g of the protein was absorbed over the many hours I spent digesting. (about 10g protein absorption per hour)

Why Huel Black? Everyone seems to say the maximum protein that can be absorbed per meal is 20g (it irks me that this is never talked about as a g/kg of body weight but that’s by the by).
