Not quite there yet

I always added protein powder to my Huel White shakes but now I don’t have to anymore.

Unpacked Huel black yesterday, made the shakes for today and had a little sip. I did not like it.

I put them in the fridge after that and had my first cold one this morning. That was way better!

I do know I always have to get use to the flavour a little so it takes some time for me.

Did you like it from the start? Do you feel like you’re less hungry?

Okay so the chocolate version is definitely not for me. It indeed has an artificial aftertaste. It was slightly better coming from the fridge but I still had to add coffee and cacao to make it drinkable for me.

Tonight I’ll try vanilla and chocolate combined. Let’s see if that’s better.

Today I did good! Melanie would have been proud :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I also did a Huel Black tasting with my kid. Here’s what we like:

  • Huel Black Vanilla (plain)
  • Huel Black Vanilla with Strawberry FB
  • Huel Black Chocolate with Chocolate Mint FB
  • Huel Black Chocolate with instant coffee

And here’s what we don’t like:

  • Huel Black Chocolate (plain)
  • Huel Black Chocolate with Peanut Butter FB

Anymore suggestions for good combo’s are more than welcome!

I found out that after a 2scp Huel White I’m hungry after 4 hours and with a 2scp Huel Black I’m hungry after 5,5 hours. So not bad at all!!

If you can get the Chocolate Cherry that works well with chocolate Huel and I quite like the Gingerbread with vanilla Huel. I’ve also started adding a chai latte mix to vanilla Huel :yum:

Ah those are the limited edition FB’s. I think I’ll give chocolate cherry a try because I really don’t like Huel Black Chocolate.

Have you tried mixing with Huel White btw? I just made a shake with a scoop Huel Original, a scoop of Huel Black Vanilla and salted caramel FB. Delicious!!!

I loved black chocolate initially but now I’m struggling to drink it :confused:
V2.3 UU plus cacao fb will be my all time favourite. I could drink that forever (if it still existed :cry:)

Do yourself a favour and go for gingerbread, cherry chocolate is good but gingerbread, its amazing, i cant even!

Do you mix the gingerbread with Vanilla or also chocolate? Last one seems like a weird combo…

I have tried it with 2.3 original and black vanilla and both times it was delicious, i have mint chocolate and might just throw it in to see whats up, never know what combinations work right? I mean, who would’ve thought chicken nuggets dipped in milkshake would be so delicious :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

This morning I stood on the scales : 74,5kg. No gain, no loss. As expected after a few days of eating what I wanted when I was at the conference and food was provided for me.

Today was another good day. Had a personal training this morning. A pretty intensive one. Did two Huel meals, one Huel snack and a regular meal.

For tomorrow I have 3 Huels in the fridge:

  1. Black Vanilla with match FB and Spinach
  2. Black Vanilla with Strawberry FB and real strawberries
  3. Black Vanilla / Original with salted Caramel FB

I liked it right from the start, but i must admit i am bored. So adding other things. Coffee, fruit, cinnamon, extra cacao. the ISE was a big convention in the Rai. Was scared of Corona :grimacing:

I had to look this up but that looks really interesting. But I wasn’t there though. I was at the Big Room Planning for Aegon in Leeuwarden. A two day conference for employees only.

With the amount of Huel we consume corona doesn’t stand a chance :wink: (just kidding, it is horrible though)

I’m really in the Huel flow right now. I prepared three Huels for today and when I’m a busy as today is so easy to drink them and go on. Exercising in the evening also helps. That’s when I usually plunder the refrigerator when I’m watching tv. But not today!

This was not a good day. Funny how one day can be good and the next day can be off again.

It started good with a Huel but the other two I had premade for today I did not drink. It bothers me that it’s too thick. I use 500ml and 2 scoops but after a night in the fridge is so thick that I can’t really drink it will. I like it watery.

So for tomorrow I made 3 shakes with 500ml and 1 scoop Black and 0,5 scoop White. Let’s see if that is more to my liking.

The rest of the day I eat crap I don’t even want to write about it. I did exercise for some damage control. Tomorrow we’ll try again.

You were still under you call goal, the day before you were even maybe to low. Don’t stress about it. You have saved enough call to spend some.

P.s. Black does nit taste like chocolate, maybe mocha at most.

You’re doing great! Even Melanie must have some off days! I’ve been trying the Huel bars lately instead of shakes and I’m really liking the chewing experience. They’re also really filling and I have found that one bar (200cal) fills me up just as much as a 400cal Shake.

Its a silly suggestion but its what i do, have you tired just, adding more water after you take it out the fridge?

I’m currently trying to find the right balance with 3.0, with the different texture it doesnt taste right at the same thickness i had 2.3, but i find it pours a LOT slower, and then adding water takes a VERY vigorous shake to get the water to mix in properly, but you can definitely adjust thickness post-fridging :slight_smile:

I have thought of that but the it’s already full till the top so it doesn’t fit. I tried 1.5 scoop today with 500ml and it was perfect :drooling_face:

Ah, i find with 3.0 it goes from a full shaker to half full in about 10 minutes after i put it in the fridge, very strange, hahah

I’ve switched from 2 scoops per shake to 1.5 which makes it perfectly drinkable for me but I’ve noticed I need to add an extra shake because otherwise the amount of calories is too low.

So for tomorrow I made 4 shakes instead of three. I received my flavour boosts tonight. I ordered chocolate cherry and gingerbread based on people’s suggestions here on the forum. Had a little sip but wasn’t liking them immediately. But let’s see what happens after a night in the fridge.

I’m also experimenting a little bit. I now have 8 different flavour boosts and was thinking of mixing them and also mixing black and white.

For tomorrow I made the following :

  1. Black Vanilla with White Vanilla and gingerbread
  2. Black Choc with White Vanilla and Chocolate cherry
  3. Black Choc with White Vanilla and instant coffee and cacao powder
  4. Black Vanilla with White Vanilla and salted Caramel and peanut butter flavour boost

If anyone knows other delicious mixes, please let me know.
