New product launch ⭐ A Complete Protein Bar!

The new bars are a great improvement over the previous version. Great texture and moisture.

The chocolate coating reminds me of real German Lebkuchen (thin dark chocolate that’s not overly sweet)

1- Banoffee - very very good 10/10
2- Salted Caramel - 9/10
3- Peanut - 8/10

Well done :yum:

Hey Tim,
I just wanted to pick up on this because as you wrote, many people don’t like them.
I just want to voice that I do, and for the past 18 months I’ve been 100% Huel (every sunday I eat 300g of steamed brussel sprouts) and the bars are a huge part of that (and an enjoyable part).
Please dont send them them to the same farm the granola went to(!).
Looking forward to the next round of bars. (400 calories would be great…)

I also like the 3.1 bars and their macros split fits better my needs than the new protein ones.

I still ordered some protein bars to try (waiting for them to arrive), but I will continue mainly buying the 3.1 bars… hopefully they don’t discontinue them :crossed_fingers:t2:

I just ordered some of this. I do like 3.1 (I’m not saying it couldn’t be better) but I like that CPB has more protein while it has less sugar and fat. Exactly what I need for my snacks.

Now I realized how great it would be if HUEL had something like this (high protein, low fat and sugar) but savory. Sometimes I’m looking for non-sweet snacks (like cheese) and this would be much better. Like some vegan sausages or something similar. I would definitely get those.

I’ve given these a go now and I like the texture, nutritional profile and cocoa coating but……the taste. I’m guessing it’s the new sweetener being used - but with all the flavours, I am getting this strange slightly synthetic and soapy aftertaste. The banana (like the flavour boost) for me is the worst offender which tastes very synthetic.

I am sure that with time my taste bud palette would adjust to it and it would be less obvious but as it stands, even though overall the new bars are better than the previous ones, the price per bar difference makes it a less convincing option for me – I’ll have to give it some more thought and see if it changes my opinion with more use.

This mornings update: even though Erythritol does not have the same digestive side effects as other sugar alcohols, it seems 2 bars in the same day seems to be the tipping point especially if you drink caffeine too :slight_smile: :wind_face:

Wow this was fast. I ordered them yesterday and they arrived today (Germany). I tried the raspberry one, and I can’t say it tastes better than 3.1. I actually prefer 3.1’s taste and consistency. I do like and eat dark chocolate, so it’s not that I’m not used to that taste. But as a whole CPB tastes awful and is too hard. I do like the nutritional profile, so that is definitely an improvement. The only thing I can’t understand is the need for “honeycomb” whatever that is. It doesn’t seem to contribute to the (non-existing good) taste, but does include sugar. I would have preferred chocolate chips as in 3.1 (something with at least a little health benefit).

Ordered these the second the email landed; Raspberry and Banoffee - a great addition to the Huel range.

Flavours are great.

But they are really hard and I find they ideally need to have 10-20 seconds in the microwave to be compatible in texture to the v3.1 a hopefully that’s a “teething” problem in manufacture.

The sugar in the CP Bars is minimal, between 1.1g - 2.4g. So this isn’t a problem. I guess the point of the honeycomb is to give it an enjoyable texture and taste! The chocolate chips in v3.1 are not there for any health benefit, again, just for taste and texture.

So glad you love them! Banoffee was such a surprise for me. Wasn’t sure I would like banana flavoured bar but I loved it!

My reasoning was that it does not add to the texture and taste (at least for me) and also includes sugar (and does not have any health benefits). So I don’t really see the point. Chocolate chips had more advantages compared to honeycomb. It doesn’t have to be chocolate chips. But it should be something that either really contributes to the texture and taste or has at least some health benefits.

How many protein bars do you get in a box? The website only tells you the contents of the variety box (3 of each) which I can’t order because bananas kill me :skull_and_crossbones:
There’s no info anywhere on the order page not even a price per bar.
The ask a robot chat function was very annoying and completely unhelpful :woman_facepalming:t3::laughing:
I’m hoping you guys will know the answer (you always do :blush: )

Weird it says 12 bars for me too :thinking:

Interesting, for me it also says 12 bars.

Yep 12 bars on mine as well. :boom::crazy_face:

I ordered a selection box, really liked the peanut butter one (despite the tragic lack of butter :wink:), salted caramel and bannoffee also pretty good, didn’t especially enjoy the raspberry one, but that’s pretty standard for me as I’m not really onto fruit or fruit flavoured things generally. I won’t be buying them again though, not because they weren’t good, and not even because they really stretch my budget, but because I simply can’t be trusted around them! My box of 12 lasted a week, or even a day or two under a week, and I know I don’t have enough self control to not eat two every day, which would completely sabotage the weight loss I’m still working on. For people with deeper pockets, an iron will, and no weight concerns, I would definitely recommend them :slight_smile:

:clap: haha well I guess that is a positive thing! Glad you loved them. Hope you come back though, a few stern words with yourself maybe? Or put them in one of those timer lock boxes parents use to lock their kids phones in?! omg that’s actually such a good idea of mine.

I thought it was a great idea too. I reread it and realised I’d missed out the word phones.

I’ll try a bar or two with my next order. I can’t justify paying £50+ for 24 bars but like that Huel are offering more products to customers.
