I think the point is that these comments don’t scream “desirable” and “nailed it” when people are trying to make it “OK” just to actually use the stuff

Haha @GTIPuG 
yeah you’re right
I feel that way about all the flavoured premixes though.
The only Huel I actually really enjoy is the UU - either ‘as is’ or with added coffee, or cacao or fruit or flavour boosts.
Oh an the V2 bars are great too (not tried v3 yet)

Yes, for me the whole point of a prebend is not needing to faff about adding other flavours to make it palatable. I’d rather buy the flavour boosts if I’m going to be making a concoction, at least that way I’m in control of the flavour strength.

They need to bring back Christmas pudding preblend. Still a classic…the taste of Jesus.

I thought Jesus tasted of crackers and red wine.

Perhaps jesus was a Huel preblend…they rarely taste like what they are meant to.

Like many I was definitely pleased to see the introduction of Chocolate powder however my excitement has been slightly dampened by people’s experiences so far with regards to the taste. I like the Mint-Chocolate so do people with experience of both generally like them both or is it an altogether different flavour? I just have my Mint-Chocolate without any other flavour.
I have decided I will get a bag on my next order to see for myself and hopefully I will enjoy it. After all it can’t be that bad!!

I love the mint-choc preblend, but not the chocolate.
Do you like the (new) Vanilla preblend?
The chocolate has a similar toffee-ish undertone.
I do like the new vanilla, maybe I’m just easily pleased!
Sounds like I’ll probably be in the minority and I’ll enjoy the chocolate. I will give it a go anyway.

I really like the mint chocolate, but the chocolate is a taste washout. To me it tastes of the memory of chocolate, not the experience of chocolate. Personally I would suggest not wasting your time and money trying it, but if you do, I’d love to hear the opinion of someone who considers themselves easily pleased. I’m definitely fussy.

I also love the mint pre blend but hate the chocolate. The mint pre blend tastes more like chocolate than the chocolate prebend.
I think the chocolate prebend is having an identity crisis it never quite tastes the same when I make it, it either tastes of coconut like noting or like dirt to me and a few people I have forced it upon!
I’ve still got half a bag of that left from 2017

I’ve just got to say that I’ve just tried my first chocolate Huel. I wasn’t expecting much as I read this thread prior to drinking/eating it but thought it tasted lovely. Pleasantly surprised and happy

I received my chocolate powder today and I have to say I found it rather delicious. Simply blended with ice, almond milk and water. I will try with flavour boosts too over the next week but so far so good

I’ve just opened mine - and I agree. Love it. Lactofree milk and water, about 200ml of each plus 3scoops of gluten free chocolate.
It tastes like cooled hot chocolate, if that makes sense😅

It seems that adding milk is the way to go. People mixing with milk are reporting how nice it is. Anyone tried it with alpro coconut or oatly milk?
I also have mine nice and thick like a milkshake consistency and using ice I find makes a huge difference which is why I use a blender.
200ml almond milk, 200ml water, 5 ice cubes and 100g powder.
I always used to make my Huel with 50/50 water and plant milk…but haven’t done so now for at least 6 months, and don’t really want to back to it.
I usually add 100ml almond milk to 350ml water but am having Chocolate Huel with 100ml Oatly barista/350ml water for lunch. Will keep you posted.

I’m inspired! For science, I will go and make a choc shake with cow’s milk and report back.
Update: Sorry it took so long, I had to try one with water first to remind myself of the flavour. It is WAY better with milk! Wow! It’s a lot thicker for one thing, and the flavour is much richer - overall it’s much closer to the creamy, chocolatey shake I was hoping for. It could still be more chocolatey - I think I will try half milk half water next, and add cacao powder for the ultimate chocolate Huel
