I should add that I made mine with 500ml water, 3 scoops, and blended for about 10 seconds in my NutriBullet - I’ve had around 3 more since my original post, still tastes bloody lovely

@hunzas what was your reason for moving away from plant milk?
I was using 250ml of PBM in each Huel, so depending on whether I was drinking Huel twice or 3 times a day it was adding 2 to 300 calories a day; I thought it would taste better with it, but when I omitted it it made little difference, the consistency was the main thing that changed due to some of the thickeners used in some milks, each behaved differently.
There was no other reason apart from calories.

Makes sense. My 2 Huels a day with a combined 400ml of almond milk is only 80 calories which fits in with my plan. I agree it doesn’t taste much different but I do use it mainly for the slightly nicer consistency.
I too like the thicker consistency some plant milks give. Most notably Alpro ones. I most often buy unsweetened almond and only use 100ml at a time. Not bad if you can buy them when on offer, otherwise it can get a bit pricey.

Choc premix with Oatly was good, tastewise and texturewise. Can’t say it tasted much different than with Alpro almond though. Both good.

I love Oatly Barista, will try some with my neglected and forlorn opened bag of unloved chocolate premix. Great shout.

It’s much better with milk, still get a margarine like after taste though. I must have funky taste buds.
Just tried my first choc - i get biscuits, buttery biscuits with a tiny hint of chocolate kind of like a choc cheesecake.
I really like it & would absolutely buy more

I crack my bag out for special occassions, it’s lush man.

I mix the chocolate flavour almond milk of 300ml, water of 300ml and 4 scoop. To me, the taste and smell are reminiscent of a milkshake. I did not like the mix with water because the chocolate taste was very weak.

I mix it with water and it tastes quite good (much better than my mix of vanilla huel and row chocolate powder… it is horrible)
So, I just tried the chocolate premix with oatly barista and it was actually, dare I say it, very nice!
I did add a good heaped tsp of raw cacao as well.
I can’t afford (financially or calorifically) to make Huel with Oatly all the time but it was very enjoyable as a one-off
Did I do something wrong? I was sooooo excited about the chocolate one. I’d only used berry premix which is gloopy and kind of lush. I mixed 2 scoops of this chocolate premix with 400 ml of water. I really can’t describe what came out. Watery weirdness. Where’s my chocolate stamps feet.
I’m new to Huel…and now I’ve got to big bags of oddness 
Hi Kat
I felt the same when I received my chocolate Huel!
It bizarrely seems to improve a bit once the bag has been opened a few days.
Also, try adding some plant milk (oatly barista, alpro almond, alpro hazelnut all work well), or dairy milk.
Add a good tsp of cacao (either raw cacao or cacao flavour boost) and make sure you leave it in the fridge for a good 4-8hrs.
It’s actually very nice as a base for cacao powder. And seems to work much much better with 50/50 milk/water.
I too was expecting it to be chocolatey straight out the bag, but if you think of it as a base to add your chocolate to, it’s actually pretty good.
From my point of view it’s not ideal… I wanted it to be perfect ‘as is’. But with a bit of tweaking it’s very pleasant.
Hope that helps… keep experimenting and I’m sure you’ll find a way to enjoy it - I did, and I was proper disgusted with it initially 
Try 200ml almond milk with 200ml of water from the fridge and 5/6 ice cubes with 100g of powder and give it a quick blast in a blender. Maybe drop the liquid a little if you are only using 2 scoops.
Not sure what the ice does but to me it makes it so much nicer!
That’s great advice thanks. I don’t want to waste the powder I just need to find a taste solution. I’ll definitely try mixing with milk and adding some cacao. Maybe I should just whizz in a Mars bar?

It’s not the flavour that’s changing, it’s your palette I think… it really really grows on you. My first reaction was 6/10 but now it’s my absolute favourite

I found that it grew on me as well and with the mint chocolate as I prefer them to vanilla now
