Yes. I didn’t mind it as is. I just tried a few experiments to see what it took to get it exactly like the US taste/texture including adding vanilla extract but in the end, a simple blend did the trick. I drank the remaining 9 bottles as they were but chilled. ---

Has anyone ordered again recently and did you receive US or EU bottles? I want to order but can’t struggle through 24 bottles of the EU stuff again. @Tim_Huel are you able to confirm what is currently being sent out in UK? ---

Bought an EU Vanilla RTD in Sainsbury’s as I’d run out of RTD and wasn’t planning to order until the US supply restarted. Have to say I noticed practically no difference. The bottle opening with the lip is a bit annoying but taste wise it was pretty much identical to me. Maybe a fraction more of an earthy taste but barely discernible and definitely not chalky or sour. Just goes to show how individual perceptions of taste vary so wildly I guess. ---

Hey guys, really want to keep you in the loop on this. We’re still working hard on the RTD and are well aware how much inconvenience this has caused many of you. Our last update told you end of April. I want to let you know that this has moved slightly, but hopefully only by a few weeks. I’ll try and keep you updated. Once it’s back we will give you a full update too. ---

Hey all, we have an update on the RTD. I’ve started a new thread about it here. > [@Exciting RTD news!](https://discuss.huel.com/t/exciting-rtd-news/17902): > > Hey Hueligans, we’ve got some great RTD news for you! We know it’s been a tricky few months for our Ready-to-drink fans. Back in December 2019, due to high demand, we had to temporarily move production to a different facility to ensure all orders were fulfilled. Despite it being the exact same recipe, we know that many of those in the UK who experienced those changes didn’t enjoy this foil capped version as much as normal. We are sorry about this. As you know we pride ourselves on being transp… ---

How can we be sure any new orders will be the “fixed” version? Surely you have some stocks of the dodgy version you need to offload? ---

Tim’s got a yellow Robin Reliant…him, Rodders and his Uncle Albert will be shifting it at local markets as soon as lockdown allows. Actually, I think he answered in another thread. ---

Answer you here! > [@Exciting RTD news!](https://discuss.huel.com/t/exciting-rtd-news/17902/3): > > Good question! The date of the switchover has been moving depending on our stock levels, we’ve been waiting to run down stock sufficiently until we have started sending out the new RTD. But yes, there has been a small leftover supply, there are the version we still sell in Europe so it will be sent on so there’s no mix up. We also gave some of this leftover RTD to the staff at our fulfilment centre blush If you order from the UK store today you will receive the new version of the RTD. > [@hunzas](#): > > him, Rodders and his Uncle Albert Love that this makes me Delboy.

I think you’ve perfectly cast it there. Can you fall through the bar while holding a shaker of Huel? Olivia can be Marlene. ---

I tried the new UK RTD yesterday from Sainsburys and it’s still chaulky ☹ Will still just use normal protien powers instead. If it gets back to that awesome smooth tasty drink they get in the US than I will subscribe to batches of it ---

> [@glynabt](#): > > Will still just use normal protien powers instead. Hey Glyn, I’m concerned you’re comparing Huel RTD here to whey-based protein drinks. Huel ins’t a protein shake, it’s carbs, protein, essential fats, fibre, vits and minerals and all plant-based. So comparing to a whey-based protein shake (if that’s what you want it to taste like) you might be a bit disappointed. Pea and Rice protein are a little chalky, but our RTD currently is silky smooth. ---

I’m not comparing it to whey powders, or vegan protien powders. I understand it’s different, and it’s meal replacement, etc. I’m comparing it to its older version that was sold in the UK last year (the US version). Last year it truely was a smooh tasty drink that I drank whenever I needed a wholesome nutritianal boost. I’m saying this new version still isn’t smooth as you describe. It isn’t a drink I will gladly spent £3.50 on anymore. It’s just feedback, that’s all. I miss the old version ---

Is this still an issue with orders as of today? I got a batch of the foil-topped bottles last year and haven’t ordered since as it sounded like a temporary thing, but I’m not clear whether we’ve gone back to the old RTD or whether a new third type has been created. ---

Hey Thom, I understand a thrid was created, I tried it recently, and it tastes slightly better than the foil cap version, but it is still chaulky and no where near as nice as the old RTD from last year. Some people have said they like it though. They sell it in Sainsburys if you want to try it before you buy a batch ---

Huel is back to being epic! 😍 Just tried it again for the first time in over a year. It’s back to being completely smooth and beautiful tasting. No more chalkyness 🙌 ---

I preferred the less sweet slightly chalky texture. [Previous page](https://discuss.huel.com/t/new-plastic-bottles/16748.md?page=4)
