Ah, but there is. The 3.0 formula (at least for the chocolate) is undrinkable in my opinion. So, if it’s the same base for other flavors, including the vanilla, I have no reason to believe that the vanilla will be good. I have no desire to waste money on a product that has such a bad aftertaste. Also, I don’t want to have to mix my own chocolate when there are other products out there. I really have enjoyed Huel, but I’m not so brand loyal that I’m going to jump through hoops to create my own flavors. I can tell from these boards that you are a big fan - I appreciate that. I just don’t see this working for me.
Tim, thank you so much for the reply. I did not email customer service, but I did call them right after I received my first 3.0 order to voice my opinion. I wish the outlet was still an option, but understand that probably would not be cost effective for you to continue making 2 separate formulas. I think most people will simply vote with their money. Once my 2.3 formula is gone, I will simply be finding an alternative.
I am a little curious - does this mean there was conclusive data to prove that people didn’t like the 2.3 formula and that is why the flavor was drastically changed?
@sleighty: Honestly I think it’s an issue only for the chocolate V3. The choc-mint V3 is fine. I haven’t tried the other flavours yet (have some vanilla bags) but I don’t expect an issue there.
But probably @Tim_Huel can give more information on whether they changed the ‘chocolate molecule’. If so, we can guess it’s chocolate-specific.

How big is your microwave?!
He fits if you detach all the robotic parts. He’s just a (partial) head, a spine, and a set of lungs.
Even his mouth and chin aren’t real, which is why they’re bulletproof.
Thank you for explaining. I’ll save for the future in case the need arises.
I even created a poll to bring back v2.3 chocolate and it showed quite well that only a very small minority think that v3 chocolate is better: Poll to bring back the v2.3 chocolate flavour
I haven’t been very active on the forum after my 2 favourite tastes were completely changed and ruined (imho). It is the same story every year for the last 3 years. I discover a complete food company that has a near-perfect product but then they radically change it and it is completely different so I have to find a new brand.
There could be a solution here. Bring back v2.3 chocolate as a ‘new’ flavour and keep v3 chocolate as a product. Or rename v3 chocolate into something that is more fitting to its name and bring back the v2.3 taste as just ‘chocolate’.

Totally agree! Have you found a new brand that you like?
It doesn’t say in your profile Stacey where you are based - but for UK store customers, Chocolate 2.3 is back in the outlet store with a minimum of 3 months remaining on its BBE date.
I’m in Germany.
Yes, but I still have Huel for breakfast although there isn’t a Huel flavour anymore which I would love to have. Vanilla is pretty okay but my 2 favourites of the past (chocolate and berry) are now completely different.
