Hey there @RBM, I’m so sorry you’ve been having such problems with your Huel. I would echo what @rtrt has said, something doesn’t seem quite right here. Huel does have a tendency to clump, this is due the natural ingredients - particularly the oat flour - but we massively improved with a [change to our calcium source](https://uk.huel.com/pages/versions-of-huel#calcium) in v2.2. However, I don’t believe you should be having so many lumps and having to chew threw your Huel. 1. You should not have to blend your Huel. I’ve been using Huel for over 2 years and I reckon I could count on one hand the amount of times I have blended Huel for myself. - Are you adding the powder _after_ the water? Adding water on top of Huel will clump - When we say shake and reshake, we been **go to town on that shaker**. None of this giving your shaker a little wobble, pretend you’re shaking a martini for a grumpy looking James Bond. Shake left, right as well as up and down - Use your plastic mesh in the shaker to prevent you consuming any lumps if all this still doesn’t work 1. If the consistency isn’t for you then do just add a little more water. We recommend 3 scoops to 570ml as a starting point, but feel free to just add more or adjust the ratio a little. N.B. leaving Huel for extended periods will thicken it, as will refrigeration. It would be amazing to get you loving Huel, we can do this! --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.huel.com/t/awful-consistency/7854)._
