I’d like to try Huel. I definitely don’t want the free T-shirt. I’d like to not have to get the shaker too. I don’t want to use a blender (because I don’t have one - though I do have a hand (stick) blender.) Why can’t I just whisk it with a fork in a mug? Has anyone tried that? Or should I really get the shaker??
Hand blender works well or any shaker bottle will do the trick. I’ve never tried using a fork so unsure on that one.
I can’t speak from experience, but I’m assuming it would turn out very clumped together. With the consistency of Huel, it clumps easily, so you need something like a blender to really mix it together.
I’ve personally found that Blender Bottles work really well with Huel. They come with a whisk ball which acts as the whisk when you shake the bottle.
Something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Blender-Bottle-Classic-Black-Transparent/dp/B001KADGMI
Yeah, whisk ball is definately a good idea. Whenever I don’t use one it’s basically clump city in the shaker.
I have whisked it up with a silicone spatula before, as it was all I had to hand ant no problem.
I have a shaker that came with a whisk ball, and never used the ball…and it still came out fine. You guys need to practice your wrist action. Maybe I’m just a w*nker.
Haha hunzas. I’m starting to think you only comment when you can make a (dirty) joke
I use a hand whisk, never used a blender. Never used the shaker as a shaker either, just use it to transport my premixed Huel around!
I figure you could probably mix it with just with a spoon as long as you made a thick paste first, then gradually added more water as you stirred. But that seems like more effort than using the whisk I have, so I’ve not tried.
Thanks everyone! I think if I order any then I’ll try with a fork/spoon/whisk/handblender and skip the shaker!
Also I’ll probably be trying the unflavoured unsweetened version which I believe is easier to mix. Probably should have said that first up!
I use unflavoured and unsweetened too.
One tip which everyone new to Huel should know, if you mix/blend/shake it, leaving it for a few hours or overnight in the fridge makes it a lot smoother and gives it time for any lumps to dissolve. Makes a really big difference to taste and texture. Good luck!
There are tons of recipe and serving ideas too, should you find the Huel love and want to experiment.
People say don’t give up your day job. My day job is making dirty jokes.
Nice work if you can get it.
Beats working.
