Thanks for taking the time to reply Dan, whilst I’ve always wanted ‘more’ from Huel in terms of products, I’ve always been impressed with the customer service and interaction between Huel staff and customers. Second to none.
You’re probably already aware but many of Huel’s UK/EU competitors which offer a Daily Greens-style product import most of their ingredients from the USA and outside the EU. I suppose my frustration is that it’s normally the other way around with the USA - most US-based companies will launch products over there first and it’s months before we get them in the UK. It would be nice if Huel (as a UK-originating company) launched new products here first for a change.
Maybe more desert-oriented flavours - Carrot Cake, Pecan and Maple Syrup, Coconut, Apple Pie (AKA Apple + Cinnamon), Mango, Chocolate Orange, Banoffee Pie etc.
I mentioned in the other thread - how about a rotating monthly “flavour of the month” if that was do-able and then maybe a vote at the end of the year for which of the 12 flavours would become permanent. That way any less popular “limited” flavours aren’t permanent.
Personally if the GI number remains low then I don’t see any issue with using the natural sugar from fruits (i.e. no added sugars/sweeteners) in fruit flavoured Huel. For all others maybe something like Agave syrup. It’s not an area I have a lot of knowledge on but I think any artificial sweetener is always going to raise questions.
Glad to hear it! Hopefully not just a “New NEW Vanilla” or something
Yeah I can see where you’re coming from here and can understand your frustration. There are some hurdles to overcome to make Daily Greens in the UK/EU such as not all the ingredients may be permitted due to differing regulations but I think we could overcome them.
I’d love an apple or banoffee pie flavour! Sounds like US flavours to me
This is a nice idea, I’ll pass it onto our Customer Insights team.
As sucralose is 600 times sweeter than sucralose, I think we’d struggle to achieve this, but there may be a way to combine didn’t sweet ingredients so they have a synergistic effect/
@Charlotte_Huel I know you can’t reveal anything officially but anything new/exciting in terms of new flavours or products for the UK coming any time soon (i.e. within the next couple of months)?
A replacement for the bars has been confirmed and I’d imagine would be released when current stocks of the existing bars are depleted. I’d also expect Greens within that time frame but that’s just a guess.
Without saying too much, I can say that the product development team has been working really hard with some incredible products. As @Coup said there is a replacement product for bars, and some other exciting developments so keep your eyes peeled
Yeah, Santa will only be dropping off coal for those naughty elves in Tring – they’ve had such a slow year – only managed to launch 2 completely new product lines with a third in development hell, reformulated 2 of their core ranges with a third in the works, built their own manufacturing facility, introduced more sustainable packaging, expanded retail outlet choices, but - as of yet - no sign of that Mince Pie flavoured RTD.
I actually meant to write Santa’s not due, but hey ho ho!
But yeah, there’s plenty going on I’m sure of it. Trouble is in these modern times of low concentration span and the love all things bright and shiny, companies have to keep developing and producing new stuff or the con$$$umer$$$ move on to the next new thing.
We do have a couple of exciting surprises to finish off the year, so don’t lose all hope! Sometimes launches don’t go to plan and can take a bit longer than we thought.
