First time using Huel this week. Had read about it in the past, and having just been told I’ve got high cholesterol (runs in the family, Familial Hypercholesterolemia is a bit of a mouthful) thought I’d give Huel a go as a way of adding a modicum of decency to my diet.
I went for the Hot & Savoury, as I’m not a big fan of meal replacement drinks - although the free Strawberries & Cream is quite nice actually. I think I just prefer to sit and eat an actual meal…
The first H&S I tried was the Korma. Really quite tasty! Will probably make this with some grilled chicken in future - I was pleasantly surprised! Will probably give the Madras a go with the next order as well.
Mac & Cheeze. Nice enough, but not as nice as I was expecting. I followed the instructions but found that the pasta was a bit crunchy still, hopefully leaving it longer than 5 mins will solve this. Disappointingly, I found it wasn’t cheesy enough! I don’t know what vegan cheese replacements usually taste like, but this definitely didn’t remind me of any cheese I’ve ever tasted. It’s palatable, but not as enjoyable as I was hoping - I was thinking this one would probably become a staple of my diet but without dropping a load of grated mature cheddar into it I’m not sure…
The 3rd one I had was the Mexican Chilli. Very nice! I do like a bean, so they were very welcome. Only thing I find slightly annoying about it is the little brown seeds that are too small & slippy to chew and have a habit of sticking in my teeth. Overall though, a winner.
So, as a bloke living on his own who can’t be arsed cooking for one, it’s a thumbs up from me as something I can prepare quickly and easily amongst the bowls of pasta that I normally fall back on.
Let’s just gloss over the atomic flatulence…
