Hi Roo, thank you for the post, congratulations on making the first big step of starting. Love a good spreadsheet, there’s definitely one kicking around here somewhere…
Regarding mixing, you definitely shouldn’t be getting large lumps of powder. Due to the natural ingredients, particularly the main ingredient (oats), Huel is prone to a bit of lumping. However we manage to solve the major issues recently. So for me I think we need to work on your mixing technique!
- Start by adding 400ml of cold water
- Then add 3 scoops of Huel.
- (optional) add three ice cubes (personal note: I reckon this might help mixing, no evidence to back this up though)
- Use the plastic strainer/mesh - if there are a few rogue lumps this will block 'em
- Screw on shaker lid - obviously
- Hold you finger on the lid whilst shaking - _Huel accepts no liability for kitchen redecorating _
- Shake vigorously for 10-20 seconds.
- Add 150ml more water via the spout and re-shake, again for 10-20 seconds.
Obviously if a blender isn’t a hassle for you then crack on, but do have this method a go and report back!
