I’ve recently begun using Huel. Following the advice of a few people on this forum, I obtained a large blender and worked to find a recipe I like - a bit of matcha, pineapple and strawberry tastes somewhat like crunchberry cereal - but there’s one aspect of Huel I’m having trouble getting past.

No matter how long I blend it for, I can feel the powder on my mouth, as though the Huel isn’t properly emulsifying. The taste is fine, but it feels almost like I’m drinking a smoothie with a bit of sand in it. Is this normal, or is there any way to mitigate this if so? I do enjoy the product, but it’s truly offputting.

Best,

-Rocks

Making Huel the night before is the way forward. Leaving it in the fridge for a few hours definitely improves the texture.

So I’m weird: I like the slight graininess…

Try summer fruits  
I’ve found the following works for me  
300m water  
150grams summer fruit  
3scoops Huel either flavour

I put fruits in the blender first 250m water then the huel  
Blend for 30seconds and then add rest of water blend again then leave In the fridge overnight.
