  • How is eating less normal food going to give you better, more complete nutrition?
    Huel isn't a weight loss product. It's just something that can help you to lose weight if that's what you want to achieve.

  • Huel tastes great. Like oaty vanilla thin porridge. I add cinnamon mostly to mine, and I've had their flavour pouches also. A shot of coffee is good in it too

  • Also using a blender and keeping it in fridge overnight improves the texture a lot

  • It's pretty much pointless getting someone to review a product that they have no interest in even using. Having seen her description of the food she was serving her friends it's pretty obvious she's very 'into' food. Both preparing, and eating it... So it's also pretty obvious she was going to hate switching all of that to a powdered food.
    As I said, I love the stuff. I love the convenience, the lack of hassle or trying to figure out what to buy and make, and I even like the taste. For me it's a great product... But if people come at it full of negative thoughts from the start, and actually enjoy everything involved in having a normal solid food diet, it's probably a given they're not going to have the same feelings as me about Huel.

  • Regular photos in swimwear from everybody, please.

  • I find the idea of Huel fascinating but if you're really into food, it will never make sense to you.

    I guess some people aren't that into food or cooking. Takes all sorts...

  • I think for me it takes the maths out of eating properly as someone that gets the beans stuck in the toaster doing beans on toast, looking at my colleague who has books and tables for every calorie, the convenience of huel is a big plus. I know I'm getting a balanced nutrition with plenty of protein, which as an (almost veggie) normally, I always used to worry about, with a doom monger fitness instructor brother telling me it wasn't good. However he grabbed a Huel bag off me in nutritionist mode and said actually its very good.

  • I think there was a review with a bloke that got a kebab on the way home. Not an ideal reviewer.

  • I had Huel a bit last year when was trying to put weight on. I quite like it.

  • For a mostly vegetarian, who eats very little processed food, £45 a week doesn't seem that cheap. I spend less than that on fruit, veg, rice, poncy milk etc.

  • I eat almost solely Huel and it costs me about 70 a month. If you set up a regular order and buy multiple bags in that order it works out way less than I was spending on just lunch slone.

  • Seeing as it seems to be mainly oats with some multivitamins stuck in, it looks a bit overpriced to me.

  • Well given that somebody else is making the whole thing into powdered form, making sure it has exactly the correct amount of everything in, packaging it, and shipping it to me, i consider it a pretty good deal.
    I have nothing to do except mix it with tap water and drink it. For 70 quid a month I'm more than happy with the deal. :)

  • I guess some people aren't that into food or cooking. Takes all sorts...

    I can understand that people aren't good cooks, or don't enjoy cooking.

    But it is so far beyond my comprehension how someone cannot enjoy at least eating food.

  • I feel good on it, and it's not that expensive as you say if you're clever with it. The bistro at works been gobbling my salary for six years now. Enough!

  • I get that it's easy and convenient, but being able to think about what's good for you nutritionally and cooking a meal for yourself from scratch are important skills.
    I don't want to be lazy and I like variety.

  • No exercise

    Tempting...

  • I Huel.
    Have the mocha flavour jazz, I use 2 teaspoons for 2 scoops.
    This morning I tried it with Horlicks in for a malty Huel. Was nice.

    Always whip it up in a nutribullet.
    Mostly I use water as almond milk was making it too thick. Sometime I go 5050 with water and oat milk.

    I like the not having to decide what I'm having for lunch

  • "I like the not having to decide what I'm having for lunch"

    You make it sound like having to decide if a hot poker is going to go up your bum or down your peepee.

    Deciding what to have for lunch is a pleasurable thing.

  • Always whip it up in a nutribullet.

    Sounds fun

  • I'm not six years old :) , I already have the necessary cooking skills. . . I just hate having to use them when I don't enjoy it.

    It's kind of like decorating. . . I can already do it well, but it doesn't mean I want to! :)

    Also, I can't even have cheesy pasta bake because I'm allergic to bloody dairy! :(

  • One mans pleasure is another mans misery!

  • Deciding what to have for lunch is a pleasurable thing

    No it isn't, it's a massive PITA.

    From time to time I go camping with a youth group. One of the best bits for me is food is decided by someone else and I can eat it or be hungry. No choice, no thought, just eat it and be done.

  • Do you hide the TV remote so you don't have to choose what to watch?
