How do you flavour your Huel?

So far I’ve only tried mixing vanilla and UU Huel at 50/50…I found it a nice change. I’ve considered using expresso but have read that it’s best to space out coffee and meals due to coffee effecting the availability of nutrients. Anyone familiar with this?

Cloves and cinnamon was pretty nice. Today I’m testing cloves and cocoa. Blueberries and cocoa also worked well, though I think I need to use more cocoa than I have been using. Turmeric and oregano was, unsurprisingly, not that tasty. Drinkable, though, and I might do it once in a while as a means to an end, but then maybe I’ll just mix it with water and have it separately instead.

You’re an innovator @Ari! Love the commitment to raw garlic, will put it on the list of things that don’t work. Cloves and cinnamon sounds great. Keep up the good work!

Cloves and cocoa was even better. That one’s a keeper. Gave a bit of depth to the vanilla-chocolate taste. Recommended!

Got Huel yesterday and eagerly tried it unflavoured which was awful. Woke up this morning and have mixed 100ml of moka pot coffee with 50ml semi skimmed milk with 1 scoop of Huel and it makes a Frappucinno-esque drink which is delicious. Did mix it in a Nutribullet so not to have lumps!!

The unsweetened is fairly earthy! Coffee is a great shout though, love a Moka pot brew! I could do with a Frappu-Huel-ucinno right now.

I have tried using the following options with the vanilla flavoured Huel:

Couple handfuls of raspberries and teaspoon of cinnamon.
Banana, handful of raspberries and teaspoon of ginger.
Apple and teaspoon of cinnamon.

Just had the UU delivered today, so will try some savoury options and post how they worked out… :wink:

Regarding cinnamon, though, it’s tasty and has beneficial properties, but it also poses some health risks and one shouldn’t overdo it. One teaspoon a day of cinnamon can be too much and potentially cause liver damage.

Thanks for the info re:too much cinnamon - I had no idea. Will reduce amount used as well as frequency of use too.

I tried this stuff in my huel, and as a man with a serious sweet tooth this really did it for me. Delicious, basically used 50ml this and 450ml water, with 100g huel in a shaker.

Lemon juice works pretty well, depending on amount. Gives it a zesty undertone.

I love coffee so I’ve found that this is great to have on the go, it’s more finely ground than regular granuals so it’s more like a powder. Just half a teaspoon with a 3 scoop vanilla Huel and you’ve got yourself an iced vanilla latte! Delicious!

Innocent coconut water. Tried it this morning since I had both on the breakfast table and it has subtle taste but absolutely great! In the morning I’m taking mine with coffee

Keep them coming guys! Brilliant, now what about savoury? Has anyone tried the UU version with, say, Marmite or Bovril? Or some dried herbs?

Currently experimenting with infused teas.

A flavoured rooibos is a nice addition but I’m not tempted to try a smoky tea such as Russian Caravan.

Has anybody tried any powdered greens in the mix? I.e. spirulina, chlorella etc?

I tried it with matcha the other day; the bitterness of the tea really balanced out the sweetness.

Loving the ideas of using tea @JJMC and @Jessica_Invernizzi. How much tea are we talking about? Some time ago a customer said they used Chai tea but had to oversteep more than one tea bag. Are you find you are having to use a lot of tea? We should write some specifications down!

I add a small portion of Tesco’s Frozen Mixed Fruits, it tastes divine. Four Huel’s a day as part of a healthy weight gain alongside weight training. Feeling great!

I’m fortunate that my wife works in a tea brewery so I have loose leaf that I can infuse in small but concentrated quantities.

I use a tea ball as a measure anywhere between 3/4 full to full and infuse that with half a cup of fresh boiled water for 3-5 minutes. Pour it in, stir and away you go.

I have teas of all varieties but not going to try a smoky tea with Vanilla Huel - may get a sample of unflavoured and try it with that.
