If you’re aiming for 400 calories, “two level scoops” might not be enough. It should be 94g, but I’m consistently 10g under that when I try it.

I suppose that will all be to do with the ‘scooping’ method. I get the scoop right in and I overfill it and then level it off against the bag, packing it a little as I press down on it slightly. I find that each time I’m getting 47.2g per scoop. I gave up trying to perfect the .2g

This is hilarious. I’m a mum and I loved the tomato one. Maybe I’m in the “my mum” demographic ha ha ha

Would definitely agree. Tomato and herb is very meh, I’ll need to figure something out there, but TGC is lovely. Was a bit worried it’d taste of soap after reading comments about corriander but it’s actually quite lovely.

Yeah, that’ll be it. I also get the scoop right in and overfill it, but then I shake from side to side so it’s level.

All my mums love tomato and hate spice.

The biggest and best Huel launch ever... Huel Hot & Savoury

Today is a huge day for us. We’re launching our first savoury product after a year of hard work., Huel Hot & Savoury. We’re really pleased with it. Tastes amazing with all the amazing nutritionals and benefits of Huel. This is the perfect Huel product to have for lunch when you want something hot, tasty and nutritious. We want to let our Hueligans try it first and for the next week the product page is live for you guys. It’s only available via this secret link until general release on the 15th…

@sevi

and despite the fact that i’m subscribed, and also had to subscribe a separate list just for the hot and savory, still can’t see them

i just find it hilarious that despite all that i don’t have access to any of it, but whenever i change something to my subscription or a new shipment is about to be sent, i always get the same e-mail 3 times

We’ve checked out your email address, and there’s definitely something strange happening with which emails you receive. You’re opted in for marketing but seem to only be receiving transactional emails, so we’re looking into this. Really sorry for the inconvenience of not receiving the right emails, we’re on it.

@David thanks for the great selection of tips. I like your thought on stirring not shaking the pouch. I do shake mine but don’t do it every time, just initially.

no worries, hot and savory already out by now

I love the Hot & Savoury but won’t be able to use as planned.

I have 4* 500 cal meals a day - was previously 2 powdered Huel, I planned to swap one of them for the Hot & Savoury but after a few days realised I can’t.

The powdered is such a beige basic b***ch that I can have it every day to fill me up and forget the event, but the Hot & Savoury is too flavoursome to do that. I love Thai Green Curry (real one) but wouldnt have it every day - the Hot & Savoury same thing.

I don’t regret buying and it will be great for when I need a change - but no good for my daily meal plan I will stick to mainly 2 * powdered 500 cal and 2 * 500 cal meals.

Yes, Huel white, black and RTD means one can mix it and drink it quickly. The brewing time of 5mins for HS and the time taken for it to cool makes it more feasible on a planned break. I plan to use this for 2 shifts and 1 off day. Usually on off days I have only Huel for breakfast but realised a HS and a sandwich can support my fitness goals.

So I’ve just had the first of my Herb & Tomato, I wasn’t expecting much but was surprised. I would like some spice to it but that is easy enough to resolve with some chilli (I’m thinking some hot chipotles) What also got me was just how thick this one was compared to the Thai Green Curry! I like that, less soup like and more well like a thick sauce. Roll on my next meal

[D90019]

Regarding the Tomato and Herb, I have tried Tobaso, chipolte and tomato ketchup (not simultaneously) but these also add more variety to the product.

After reading this I decided to weigh out my scoops today, exactly 10g under, which I think means a calorie count of 357. Works for me as I’m trying to loose weight!

[DvdVgt]

Yeah I had the same experience as you. Tomato was thicker than TGC with the same amount of water. Also added some chilli because tomato and herb was not really spicy. However TGC set me on fire!!! Not sure how I can spice that one down a little.

I was thinking of mixing the two but I have yet to find the courage to try it

@DvdVgt

Not sure how I can spice that one down a little.

the same way you do with any Thai Curry - chuck in some coconut milk/cream

[Talort]

With Thai curry you can also add acidity to dilute the spice - lemon juice or even vinegar helps.

[DvdVgt]

Right! Brilliant as always Phil!

That was going to be my plan for tomorrow. I’ll let you know how it goes.

What I have noticed about the Herb & Tomato today is that I get a slight curry smell when it is sat on the table. Even my other half has just asked me if I was having a curry soup!

[DvdVgt]

Cool! I’m very curious how that’s going to work out

[Blobbymatt]

The tomato and herb is great with diced beetroot and halved cherry tomatos on the top. If anyone is interested.

[D90019]

I noticed this. I took an open pouch in my backpack and my bag had a curry like odour to it. (This has now dissipated).
