Huel Power Balls

Recipes
21

I use them only as snack. Usually my eating pattern looks like this:

07.30 Huel shake (around 500kcal)
10.00 1 power ball
12.00 Huel shake (around 350kcal)
15.00 2 power balls
17.30 regular dinner (stew, pasta, potatoes, veggies)

I think 1 power ball is roughly 150kcals. I haven’t call calculated it because make them differently every time.

I like the fact I can chew on Huel in the form of a power ball. Only drinking shakes during the day makes me cranky.

@Phil_C, @Tristan & @Bee I’m going to try it tonight. I’m very curious if it’s love our hate with me. Still I can’t imagine combining it with Huel though…

I wouldn’t put it in Huel either. No way! Don’t love it that much :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I wouldn’t subject yourself to the horror. But if you do insist… good luck.

Such a wonderful source of B-12. I love it. Others don’t. I hope you enjoy.

I remember reading once during preparing some teaching materials on brand colours (marmite was the case study) that a very high percentage (I think it was like 25-30%) of responders who said they hated the taste had never actually tried it.

I wonder if the same is true of many other polarising tastes? I know kids are especially guilty of doing that but so are adults. I have lived in Malaysia the past 6 years and have never tried the local fruit Durian – nor will I ever – such is its bad reputation.

It’s described as the King of Fruits but the taste is also variably compared to:

  • Chives mixed with powdered sugar
  • Diced garlic and caramel poured into whipped cream
  • Dead cat
  • Sewage
  • Stale vomit
  • Onions and cheese
  • Used surgical swabs
  • Turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock
  • Vomit flavoured custard
  • Methane
  • Pungent, runny French cheese
  • Like you’ve been French kissing your dead grandmother

It’s also banned from being taken in taxi’s, public transport and hotels. If you have one in a rented car you have to pay a couple of days rental penalty as that’s how long it takes to clean the interior to ger rid of the smell.

All that, coupled with it being coated in a spiky flesh, adversely increasing your body temperature and eating it while drinking alcohol at the same time may kill you or at least cause bloating, indigestion and discomfort, leads me to believe that nature is trying to tell you not to eat it and I will probably suffer no loss to my life experience if I don’t.

I’ve had the opportunity to try it, but never have. One thing I really hate which is apparently good for you is Chinese bitter melon, but then again I don’t like Brussels sprouts either.

I’ve seen internet cats fainting and trying to cover it in litter because they think it’s poop.
Cats are smart.

Mine aren’t.
