Tonight (day 4 of my Huel adventure) I was craving a savoury flavour. I had a bit of a crazy brainwave and stirred in loads of Engevita nutritional yeast flakes.
YUM!
The flavour was almost cheesy, definitely umami, and I loved it.
I expect it will not be to everyone’s liking, but you might like to try it, particularly if you’re after a vegan hit of extra B vitamins.
Bizarrely I added it to the original vanilla, but I’m guessing it will be even better in the unsweetened , so I’ll try that next week when I’m planning to give unsweetened a go.
I’m finding vanilla tasty but far too sweet for me, so experimenting with anything that makes it less sweet. A large spoon of cinnamon is my favourite and simplest after the nooch.
Nice to meet another nooch fan. None of my friends have even heard of it
Ohhhh I’m going to have to try that! Completely agree with the cinnamon, its a fab combo.
Haha I love the stuff and throw it all over everything! I even take a mini tub out with me if I eat out lol
Start with adding a bit to just a little slosh of Huel, then if you hate it you won’t have wasted anything. But I’m willing to bet you’ll be pleasantly surprised
Strangely, I prefer the taste when added to vanilla. My favourite recipe at the moment is 400ml water, 100g Vanilla or half-and-half with U/U, 1 tbsp Engevita, 1 heaped teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg or ground cloves.
I tried the warm curry idea and that really put me off trying warm Huel again. I made my unflavoured shake with (didn’t measure) probably 2 tbsp of Engevita and it was solo yummy! Later, for dessert I had a chocolate Huel! Hit the spot! Savoury meal and sweet dessert!
Bought a tub of Engevita today. Love the taste! Can see I will have to experiment with Huel, though I really like the taste as is. I have only tried new Vanilla and Berry so far but will be getting some U&U to try soon.
