I wanted a quick place to leave a Huel review asI have been using Huel for 3 years
Im not going to comment on my personal flavour preferences because it really is personal if you like something or not. I will make a point of saying that after trying Huel shake - at first I didn’t like it. When I first tried Huel three years ago I was a bit disappointed I didn’t immediately love this new ‘good for me’ food alternative. However- as Id bought two bags of the stuff I figured Id better use it up.
I have to say once I got more familiar with the product I now absolutely love it. Apart from being super convenient, easy to travel with and healthy its also massively satisfying for me. I had the same experience with the Huel bars I thought Id give a try. My first bar I was disappointed. Perhaps because I already had some pre-conceptions about something good for me that tasted like a dairy milk. But because Id bought the box i figured I should not waste them. So I had another, and another. And now I love them and will be buying again.
I now totally understand why Huel dont offer one meal samples or sell single bars. Its right what they say. You really need more than that to get the full Huel experience.
I recently started a new workout program so I thought… maybe I dont need Huel anymore. I can control what I eat… I quickly went back to Huel after re-realising how time consuming food prep is and several culinary disasters.
