I’ve just made my first purchase and am looking forward to trying it. I wanted to know if Huel can be blended and stored in the fridge overnight, before taking it to work the next day - anyone tried it? ---

Yes that’s the best way in my opinion. Blend in the evening, pop in fridge, job done ---

I’ve also found it can be frozen and then it doesn’t need refrigerating at work but is still nice and cold at lunchtime 🙂 ---

Yes Huel can be left. We recommend consuming it within 24 hours once blended. However, that said, I made up some on Friday night as a late second lunch but didn’t eat it until Sunday. It had been blended at about 5pm Friday and was refrigerated until about 11 on Sunday, so almost 2 full days. No problem at all, tasted amazing. Just needed a little extra water and a big shake. ---

Older versions I’d find lasted well, recently even if kept refrigerated I have found anything after a day and they taste very bitter, almost vinegary ---

Really? Vinegary? I left v2.1 in fridge for two days and it was as smooth and creamy as always, if not better! ---

Yeah definitely a difference, now I have to have it the same day. If it’s been refrigerated all day the second morning it’s OK, but wouldnthe then have that one for lunch.
