No, not happening, I will not be baited!

I spent February in pun rehab. I learned to accept myself without without using puns as a substitute for proper jokes. In the past, I would have made several puns in this topic, but I managed to resist this time. Itā€™s just a shame that salmon else did it.

Is it me or is this new version without kelp a lot more difficult to shake? I feel more resistance while shaking and canā€™t always get al the plumps out. I didnā€™t expect a lot of difference, but I think the old version tastes better.

The pro-kelp backlash starts here!

But I havenā€™t noticed any difference between kelpy v3.0 and kelpless v3.0. I donā€™t expect to notice anything, because itā€™s such a minuscule change. I think v3.0 is harder to mix than v2.3, but thatā€™s nothing to do with the iodine source.

Oh goodness :man_facepalming: please donā€™t put this into peopleā€™s heads, there is no way this can be the case - v3.0 Kelp v v3.0 non-kelp.

However, there have been some saying v3.0 is lumpier than v2.3. Have you tried both versions of v3.0 and are you certain that your Huel you have doesnā€™t contain kelp? Could you check the ingredients?

Donā€™t get me wrong. I still love Huel and use it daily.

Yes Iā€™m sure about the difference between v3.0 with kelp en v3.0 without kelp and the difference in weight. I donā€™t have any preference about kelp, but I just would like to point out that I noticed a little difference between those two, which I didnā€™t expect because of this minimal change.

First, I thought it was just me, but my girlfriend noticed the same. The bags Vanilla and Coffee from February taste different than from the bags from March, which I ordered again. And yes, I also notice the difference in shaking, because normally, the shakes are easier to shake to the level of a fine smoothness to drink, but maybe Iā€™m getting weaker :sweat_smile:. (I have always used the recommended 500 ML water and 2 scoops.)

Hi, I have had a break from huel for 3 months and have started again just using up my lovely gf v2.3 huel chocolate. This past week started on the gf v3.0 chocolate which is more chocolatey than the old version, it has lumps in it that taste of mayonnaise and thereā€™s a bad aftertaste ie like an earthy taste which cannot be disguised. Can I send these back and swap them for the new unkelp version?

V3 chocolate has a horrible aftertaste, kelp doesnā€™t play a role as the microscopic amounts of it canā€™t influence the taste in any possible way.

stop it David, please.

I did. That was a month ago!
