has any one had it like a porridge obviously making it up with less water. either with cold warm or hot water? was thinking or adding own flavours like drop of almond essence and a few fresh berry’s like a bakewell tart flavour … or even adding things like ground mixed spice and grated carrot to taste like a carrot cake… suppose there are lots of variations? ---

My steps Put 2 scoops of vanilla huel and about 300-400ml of soya milk/cows milk into a large bowl or huel bottle to shake then add to large bowl (Mixing with spoon in bowl can be awkward) Put in the microwave for about 1:30 mins. Stir halfway through and check the heat. Voila! A warm/hot bowl of huel porridge that tastes fantastic!

I’m new to Huel this week, and am loving it so far. I’m doing the breakfast and lunch thing, and having a normal meal in the evening. I’m loving the vanilla flavour though and am not wanting to mess with it at all. What I did want to ask on here was whether anyone had tried a warm version of Huel? Maybe mixing it up like a porridge, using less water? I’m just thinking now the cold weather is on it’s way it would be nice to have a warm breakfast now and again.

Totally feel you on the alertness etc, my mood and concentration have really improved, I don’t get the post lunch slump, etc. As a large person myself, I’d be interested to see how you find your cravings are affected by Huel. I’ve been on it for a month and a half now, porridge in the morning with a banana (which I weigh out, about 500 cals) then 800 cals of Huel to see me through… ---

This is currently my favourite way to consume Huel, I got so sick of trying to chug down 2 litres of shake a day, I tried several different baking methods, various biscuits and cakes (one of the finest carrot cakes I’ve ever tasted I’m proud to say) but the additional ingredients totally screw the macros. Adding warm water however, Amazing! It has a consistency identical to ready brek, but with your complete nutritional panel I then also add whey for extra lean muscle growth. Simple prep, perfect results. Ideal for the approaching winter. Total win.
