Just had my second delivery of Huel. After 2x vanilla I decided to go for 1x vanilla and 1x unflavoured. No thanks - sticking with vanilla from now on! Mainly using it for convenience and cost saving for lunches at work. It’s certainly helping my weight loss and I’m VERY happy with progress so far.
However, I do find it quite sweet especially when Huel flavours are added. I read an earlier post about using instant coffee granules so thought I’d give it a go. Standard Huel measurements (3x scoops) to which I added 3 teaspoons of Millicano. Also added a drizzle of syrup from one of those famous High Street coffee places. So far tried gingerbread and hazelnut. Both very, very nice. Toffeenut next time.
Well worth a go and I’ll also be trying other syrups. Didn’t actually measure “drizzle” but wasn’t much more than a teaspoon. I’d be interested to hear any other coffee related flavour concoctions.
Instant coffee (1 heaped teaspoon per 250ml) with unflavoured huel is a staple for me (someone who takes his coffee black). If you need sweetness, it won’t be for you, but so far it’s the best savoury huel combo I’ve found.
I drink far too much coffee so my tolerance might be an issue, I need it to reach my goals though.
Theres not enough hours in the day for me to both work and train in my chosen sport; so I only get to sleep 5 - 6 hours some nights. Coffee comes in handy to both stay awake during work and have energy to go training after work.
I train 4 - 5 nights a week at classes for 1 - 2 hour sessions (Sometimes on a weekend when I’m resting I’ll do some hill sprints or go to the gym if i’m bored), I work 4 days a week 12 hour shifts a day.
Of course more recovery time would be nice but I don’t have the luxury. I use coffee to get around the fatigue I feel.
