I am new to Huel. I’ve just had my first taste of it (more on that in a moment!)
I have chronic health problems that have left me with zero appetite. To-date I have been coping by eating high-calorie foods and unfortunately lots of sugar to make my diet palatable. Worried that I’m not getting the proper nutrition I did a web search and found Huel and decided that it would be perfect for me if I can take to it.
My first experience was not pleasant unfortunately. Even with toffee flavouring I hated the taste. I’m not giving up yet, however, as from some reading on the forum others have described ways of improving the taste - including less water, using milk, adding additional flavourings and putting it in the fridge for a while before drinking. So I will experiment with all of these and let you know if I manage to get it right for me.
One query I have: does altering the liquid / powder ratio not affect the electrolyte balance in the drink?
Out of the 5 flavours I have tried, I have found Toffee the worst. Simply Toffee flavour is not that far away from Vanilla and is certainly not strong enough to mask the taste of U/U.
Chocolate and Strawberry are much stronger flavours.
I really want a nutella flavour! but without all the fat. and more importantly without the palm oil…
Otherwise I’d just add a jar to my blend! mmmmmmmmm
So what was @pookey referring to then? sounds like flavour boosts they are talking about. Maybe he made his own chocolate nut flavour
I might have to try making my own with cacao powder and chopped hazelnuts.
I did buy some powdered peanut butter (someone on here recommended it - cant remember who) and oh wow that stuff is delicious! But it was so good I ate it all in about 3 days and never got around to trying it in my Huel
