We are going a bit off-topic which is making Tim sad because he loves to talk about coffee, but let me give my two cents. Food miles only accounts for around 6% of food emissions. Whichever way you try and spin it, a plant-based diet is better for the environment (source)
So yes, almonds can use a lot of water, however, compare this to dairy and it’s not much at all (source)
I’m doing IF 16:8. Drink lots of black coffee (well double espressos with a dash of water) and pints of water in the morning. Then I tried the adding instant coffee. Whoa!!! I normally stop drinking coffee about 2pm, but I think shake 2 now might be a Coffee Huel.
Today’s trial my black edition chocolate and vanilla Huel mix with a double shot. Tomorrow I’m back at work, so Wednesday’s trial will be be full coffee maxxx v3.0!
I was unsure about this but gave it a go over the last couple of days. Mixing espresso with my morning Huel was very underwhelming but espresso powder was a game changer!
This has got me thinking about a business opportunity! I worked in coffee shops for a few years and a big seller was breakfast smoothies (both with and without coffee in). We were making them with frozen yoghurt, fruit, oats and espresso then selling them at £4-£5 a drink. I’m wondering if there’s any reason an entrepreneurial and forward thinking shop couldn’t partner up with Huel and sell these!
300mls of water
1 scoop black vanilla
1 scoop black chocolate
3 teaspoons of Tesco Classic instant coffee granules (do not drink warm! Ever you have been warned)
I think you have cracked it, that sounds great. I also love with Huel and instant coffee that the quality of the coffee doesn’t matter so much. I’ve used super basic instant, or more ‘premium’ instant and the taste is pretty similar!
The amount of new flavours and variants we have in the pipeline, I can honestly say I am not sure
