200 calories savoury snack

Hi there,

I love Huel and it’s the only thing I eat at home. I’m too lazy to shake, let alone cooking, so I do ready to drink. Any chance of getting 200 calories size bottles? Or 200 calories savoury bars or something.

Thanks!

Just drink half the bottle?

Yeah, that’s what I’m doing, but the other half sometimes go to waste if I leave for the weekend or I forget it’s in the fridge.

Nope. Can’t see 200 calorie bottles. Just no market for that

It’s an idea, who knows what we could see in the future!

As for a snack bar option, this is something we offer already. We have a complete nutrition bar if this is something you’d like to explore. They vary in calories but they are all under 200. You can find all the deets by clicking here - Huel Shop

But savoury bar? Like solid H&S. Think that was the idea. I like the sound of it. Sweet bars are too good. Irresistible, can’t trust myself with them.

Yeah, that’s the idea. I hate chocolate and I’m not a fan of sweet flavours, banana RTD is as far as I can go.
If there’s no market for snack size RTDs, a savoury bar would be nice, similar to what’s already there without the sweeteners. Pizza flavour would be awesome as well :grin:

A savoury bar, I think i’m trying to workout in my head how this would work.

I’m thinking of a Salt and pepper grain-based snack-type bar thing :heart:

Plenny has manufactured savoury bars including a pizza bar. 400 calories though and they were quite hard work to eat in one go. Discontinued now, so maybe didn’t work

I guess logistically it must be quite a hard thing to do to make a tasty, ambient shelf stable savoury snack product like that - without it being dehydrated and/or packed with preservatives.

Good point. The long life shelf is also important to me. That must be why it’s so difficult to find this kind of thing. Well Huel, there you have a challenge :upside_down_face:

All of the flavours were hard to eat… They were really chewy with textures more akin to the v1 Huel bars. They are on version 3 now but admittedly I haven’t tried them, and no savoury option Still 400 calories as a meal alternative rather than a snack bar. People seem to like them. (I’m not trying to advertise a competitor here, just to highlight that a savoury bar has been made but it may not have been entirely successful). It certainly tasted quite Italian herby but with a slightly sweet undertone. I quite liked the taste but not the texture.

I’ve looked at them before and on paper they seem ok – the ingredients lists seem less enticing though – a lot of soy and rice and not much else. The chocolate version for example has a total chocolate volume of only 2.6% and also using sucralose isn’t that great.

Yes, it’s why I haven’t bothered revisiting them to see how the new ones are. Apparently the texture is better. I’ve also tried the powders and the ingredients list seems sub par.

I’m a regular consumer of the Plennybar. They are a bit on the dull side, and the chocolate flavour is rather insipid which I’m not going to buy any more, but it isn’t coated in chocolate and it doesn’t care if it gets hot or mashed out of shape so it’s a good hikers bar. I still mourn the death of the OG Huel bar.
