For a start just buy 2 bags (minimum quantity) cos you may not like it.

Maybe buy one vanilla and on unflavoured to try different combinations. Maybe get a flavour set.

Don’t just eat Huel (at least not straight away). Most people just replace a couple of meals with Huel. Personally I eat it for breakfast and lunch.

One meal is around 100 grams or 3 scoops and equates to about 500 calories. Two meals is 1000 calories; so depending on your calorie required intake you may need “normal” food of 1000 to 1500 calories. Drink more water and do more exercise if you don’t do much; try it for a couple of weeks; if you aren’t losing weight eat less, if you are losing too much…eat more. Everyone is different.
