I love Huel too, and eat the white version mixed with (cow) milk as a supplement to my meals. I've never actually tried it with water. I noticed my nails changed colour along with getting stronger too. It started near the nail bed and moved to the tip over the course of a month or two.. was not expecting that. I also had a reduction in cravings, and after the first week or so began to love the taste. (not bad at first, but it took a bit of getting used to.) The flavours can be quite subtle, but they are all pretty nice. Berry and the Coffee are probably my favourites. My recent blood work showed a massive improvement in almost every respect, I credit Huel as a large factor in this. I went from ok/good to near ideal. Also you are far braver than I am taking bags of white powder through customs!

I like your grounded girl energy for this review. Most reviews are trying complete replacements instead of supplementing a diet. Thanks.

It's great to see you recording in Korea! I recently staryed t follow toue channel and it's full of great self-care contents. I hope enjoyed your time in Korea, especially the mountains!❤

I traveled for work often and didn’t have access to a microwave during the day. It works very well for that use

Hmmmm this is very intriguing! Nice thorough review. I was thinking about having it for camping and then you mentioned backpacking. I’m always looking for foods that are easy to prepare, taste good, and are filling and nutritious because I don’t always have a lot of time/energy to spend cooking.

I think it would be PERFECT for camping!! 🔥I tried making hot chocolate with the chocolate Huel… it’s semi-passable….. haha Pro tip is to add it to room temp water for best mixing experience!

I tried it camping, it works. They're savory meals are even better for camping. It's essentially a balanced soup mix. The Mac & Cheese is good and I like the curries.

I started using HUEL nearly three years ago during the COVID-19 Pandemic. They were selling it for an amazing deal. I normally mix mine with a banana 🍌, ice chips, strawberries, and some almond milk 😋

Thanks! My day at work is over when I'm done (not at a particular time) so I often skip lunch, which is a terrible habit and I end up HANGRY. Going to try this instead!

I always liked drinking any kind of powdered drink with room temperature water. I know it probably isn't ideal for satisfying thirst if you're hot/been working out. But I usually am in an inside environment and found that it goes down SO much faster if it's room temperature. Also mixes better than with a cold drink

Would you consider trying Tailwind and letting us know what you think?

i drink a protein shake and smoothie every morning instead of regular breakfast. i then have an orange and some eggs later on. as a mum, its just easier, plus sometimes kiddo is cheeky and takes a sip. lol.

I go through periods of living on the hot and savoury Huel, 2 meals a day, sometimes with rice or cheese on top depending on what flavour I’m having. Great for weight loss and just easy and tasty. I avoid the pasta ones as I’m not great with gluten but the others are great ❤

I looked at HUEL also but I found that nutritional yeast was a better and cheaper option to augment a regular diet. But I think in a situation like you traveling or you couldn't get a proper meal in for whatever reason, it could fill in nutritional gaps. So I think it's more of a niche product IMHO than actual meal replacement.

@TheScienceofSelfCare

Nice! I definitely plan to focus on other sources of nutrients when I’m back home. I think other uses cases could be: parents who need to feed their very picky children, people with jobs that don’t allow much time for food (like medical residents). Ps: nutritional yeast + garlic salt + hemp seeds is a favorite trio👌

Any thoughts how Huel compares to 310 Nutrition?

@TheScienceofSelfCare

11 ай бұрын

310 Nutrition looks interesting with their fiber/superfood blend. I have food sensitivities for certain things in there (like goji berries) so I personally wouldn’t choose it over Huel Black. Sometimes less is more with powder mixes. But others might like that ingredient variety! I also prefer the Huel Black macro breakdown. Seems more balanced with a tad more fat (omega 3s from flax seeds are a plus in my book). If you’re going for more of a protein powder, 310 packs 15% more protein. All up to personal preference. ☺️ Macro ratios: Huel Black Edition (Chocolate) 21% fat 30% carbs 49% protein 310 Nutrition (Vanilla Cake) 10% fat 26% carbs 64% protein

Huel has seed oils in it

Soy oil a very inflammatory oil. Otherwise looks good.

Great info. . . I make my own DRINK that i consume during the day. . . No breakfast. . . A hand full of nuts for lunch, walnuts or cashews.. . . And like you a like cooking my dinner myself. . . I'm a bio-hacker , and have been doing this for almost 25 years now. I hope you'll take my advice when I tell you, unless you live iin Antarctica, you NEED to get some sun. I've know women like you my whole life who are afraid of the sun. I know all the excuses by heart, so i won't list them here. If you take care of your skin from the inside out, you'll do just fine in the sun. STAY HYDRATED, drink half you body weight in ounce's a day. Never tap water, preferably glass bottled springs water, like a pelagrino.. . . Extra vitamin C, you can not make collagen (what your skin is made off) with out vitamin C. period. YOU NEED CHOLESTEROL. . . Your cell membranes are made of it. . . Successful mitosis is contingent on it, your brain is also half CHOLESTEROL and half water, relatively speaking. Grass fed dairy is a must for this. True free ranch chicken eggs as well. Also coconut oil, avocados and a good olive oil. Also add vitamin k2 with cod liver oil.. (see Dr Kate Rhume Bleue) . . Broccoli sprouts extract & apricot seeds. . . They 100 % mitigate cancer. . . IE, the sun doesn't cause cancer, your poor health does. . . So when you are unhealthy, yes the sun can hurt you. I've seen so many women who have gotten little to no sun, and are health nuts (the worst are vegans) and after 10 to 20 years they look so unhealthy, their skin is sickly looking, more wrinkled and splotchey.. . Granted, if they got a lot of sun and didn't follow the list I gave, their skin suffered as well. BUT those that got lots of sun, and followed these protocols, like myself, they looked so much more healthy, and looked 10 to 12 years younger than they actually were. Bottom line, you definitely are avoiding the sun. You not only look unhealthy. But you actually are.

Hey Frederick, thanks for this interesting take!! I could probably use a little more sun based on my Dutch paleness ;) Though I burn very easily and have already had to have a pre-cancerous mole removed from my back. So for now, I try to wear high SPF and stay in the shade while supplementing heavily with Vitamin D3.

@Martin_Edmondson

The sun can absolutely give you cancer. There is a wealth of peer-reviewed scientific evidence to support this. It is highly irresponsible to suggest otherwise. Especially If you are pale skinned. Sun damage can happen quickly and can massively increase your risk of skin cancers and premature aging. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having pale skin, and the trend to change it by sunbathing to make it browner is idiotic.
