Well… I have tried the new mince pie flavour. When I opened the packet it smelled EXACTLY of mince pies… I made a shake using 2 scoops and hefty teaspoon of the flavour but tasted watered down and I hadnt put too much water in the schake just my normal amount as I like it thick…
It is not too bad but the taste could match the smell better…
For some reason the sickliness of mince pies puts me off trying this flavour. Don’t get me wrong I love a mince pie with a bit of soya cream, Xmas pudding even more so, but as Huel flavourings? Pumpkin pie might be more my thing.
there was a video about adding pumpkin pie spices to Huel…it was quite nice; I made it about a dozen times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWnd3LIPtP4
Of course, that isn’t the same as using a premix version.
With you on this: on first try the mince pie smell is perfect, the flavour a bit less so. I tried initially with three scoops of vanilla and found it a bit sweet, but will see how it goes with U/U next.
Yep, I now make that pumpkin spice recipe in bulk! It’s very good. Of course since it’s cinnamon-heavy, if you drink this one regularly you need to make sure you’re having it with “true” cinnamon though.
[Huel’s Pumpkin Spice recipe in bulk: 18tsp cinnamon, 4tsp ginger, 4tsp nutmeg, 3tsp allspice and 3tsp cloves will nicely fill a 200ml spice tin. 2tsp per use will do you for 16 meals.]
I’ve been having it with the vanilla Huel (3 scoops, 500ml of water). Unlike the other flavour boosts you don’t really get the full taste with half a teaspoon, but with a full one it’s really good!
