@jeffy89 It’s nothing like the chocolate boost at all.
It also has a weird biscuity taste and slightly sour flavour that remains even if you add flavour boosts or coffee or cacao, so if you dislike the taste, it’s quite hard to disguise.
A couple of people say they like it but I personally think it’s terrible and wouldn’t buy it again.
If you like cheap / fake chocolate like what you get in America and Thailand, you might like it.
If you like UK milk chocolate (dairy milk or galaxy), chocolate thick-shakes, Belgian chocolate or dark chocolate or cacao. Or the chocolate or cacao flavour boosts. Huel premix tastes like NONE of them
It does seem thinner somehow. Not sure why an added flavour would change the consistency. I prefer my Huel watery however so that’s not an issue for me personally
I haven’t noticed it being thinner, and I always make my Huel drinks in the same way 100g and 500ml water (unless I add flavour boost or flavdrops etc.
It’s very different to the chocolate flavour boost and has a flavour all of its own. Certainly not as sweet, but that suits me fine. I don’t find any of the powders ‘thinner’ as I mix them all in the same way - 100g in 100ml almond milk + 450ml water.
I’ve taken a fairly long break from Huel but seeing the chocolate one advertised was the final push I needed to get back on it.
I was really excited when it arrived. However, I’m halfway through my first shake and it’s really not very nice, or anything like chocolate. It’s going to take some doing to get through this. Definite buyers remorse.
Totally agree @Dan
I think we need to campaign for a better version
If you want awesome chocolate Huel try Unflavoured unsweetened with raw cacao -it’s dark, bitter, intense and delicious.
If you prefer it creamy try it with milk or try the original powder with the chocolate flavour boost.
The cacao and chocolate flavour boosts are very good. The premix is not good…
Initial thoughts when drinking it immediately - tastes like salted caramel mixed with melted butter/margarine.
Thoughts after leaving it in the fridge for a few hours - it tastes the same, maybe a bit colder. The after taste is the same as when I once tried vegan Mac n Cheese.
Can’t complain though, nutrition first is the name of the game. Besides I’ll be deploying my trusty cocoa and coconut dream team additions to yum this up.
It’s a real shame because I quite like both of the chocolate flavour boosts. Was also a big fan of the banana (sometimes mixed with the chocolate), the choc mint and the pineapple and coconut.
The problem is I no longer have those pouches, so I thought buying the chocolate pre-mixed would solve that problem. No such luck.

You need a better recipe…I make a vegan mac and cheese and my friends can’t believe it isn’t the real dairy based thing…main ingredients are carrots onions and cashew nuts.
I’d like that! I use cashews in my soups to add creaminess. The one I had was at a well known vegan fast food place in Manchester where everything is delicious, but the mac n cheese had an after taste.
I’ve put fresh coffee in it today, tastes better but I still get the buttery after taste. Funny how we all taste different things, I’m happy with the nutritional profile and will merrily work my way through the rest of this bag.

Just got mine yesterday. It kinda smells of Ovaltine when I opened the bag (which I quite like). Tastes ok, might alternate between this and Vanilla each month. Going to add dried coconut to try make a Bounty bar this morning
hahahaha
I’ve never tried vegan mac and cheese but I don’t have any sort of strange or unpleasant aftertaste from choc premix.
