My unflavoured unsweetened huel has just arrived, so I haven’t had much of it yet, or tried many of the possible combinations. This is not comprehensive feedback, just some quick notes.
@Julian was not lying when they said it tastes like chalk (not that I have ever tried chalk… ok, maybe I got curious once…). It is not an awful flavour, I can definitely drink it without grimacing (more than can be said for vodka), but its not typically a food flavour either. Perhaps most people would struggle to drink a whole meal of it.
Mixing it with the sweet huel in a 1:1 ratio seems good. You can still taste the chalk but the vanilla and suralose makes it taste like food too. Personally this is the right level of sweetness.
Adding a small amount of coco power and a tiny amount of ginger was just right. This is a food supplement I could happily live on.
Update; Have now tried the combination with rosehip tea, its good!
“Tastes like chalk” makes it sound terrible, which in fact it isn’t.
I used half of my unsweetened batch to dilute what I had left of the regular version, but I like the unsweetened one as it is and I will stay with this one. Also this finally allows me to try a chili-flavoured one!
Just wanted to post back here and say that after 8 months I have truly come over to the [dark side] taste of unflavoured unsweetened Huel.
It’s great just on its own. Exactly what I expects food to taste like. I would never have anticipated my tastes to change so much, but now I buy almost no vanilla Huel. I don’t blend it or refrigerate it, just shake and go.
Also, yesterday, I caught myself nibbling powder straight out the bag.
