Hi,
On the website, the samples pouches are still labelled as v2.1. I was hoping to grab a sample bag of v2.2.

Cheers.
Hey Jay,
We are no longer doing the 100g samples of Huel. The problem with them is that they do not give most a good opportunity to experiment. As this forum as consistently documented, everyone likes their Huel different! A one shot, 100g sample just wasnāt good enough. Thatās why we have worked hard to improve our starter bundle with the shaker, scoops, continuous improvements in the āLetās Get Startedā guide and additional recipe cards.
The beauty of this bundle is that it gives you an more opportunity to try out and experiment with different flavours, consistencies and recipes to find your perfect Huel. Taste can be adjusted so easily!
I appreciate this wasnāt the answer you wanted but I know that with the current starter bundle youāll be able to quickly get Huel the perfect way you want it!
I had the same issue - desperately want to try huel but a bit apprehensive of spending Ā£40 odd pound, it arriving & me not being able to drink it & then having Ā£38.40 ish of unusable powder in the cupboard! When I emailed the response I got basically said āyeah but youāll get a free tshirt & shakerā as though that makes everything okay!
I do kind of get the whole answer about one sample drink isnāt enough, especially when you read so many times that people make the first one āwrongā or lumpy.
I know it says start with the vanilla but Iām a bit concerned with the number of people saying itās too sweet & the number of sweetners in it, (is there not the argument/theory that sweeteners ātrickā the body into expecting sugar & then when it doesnāt come the brain tells the body it wants more?)
Would it not be best starting with the unsweetened & either adding a flavour or adding something natural like a banana or honey, (I guess then youād have to adjust the amount of huel if you were working on calories - is it the same with the flavours, e.g. Instead of adding flavour to the normal amount of scoops add flavour & slightly reduce the weight/number of scoops to take into account the calories in the flavour?)
Iām so close to ordering but just have this massive concern itāll be disgusting, Iāll not be able to drink it & itāll be a complete waste of money?!?!?

Iād try Vanilla. Taste is completely subjective, and I for one have never found the taste too sweet, nor have I had any problems with texture or lumps.
Thank you for the answer, unfortunately I donāt need another shaker, scoops, or recipe cards. I just need to see if I can get on with the new thicker mixture after my stash of v1.2 has gone. Ā£40 is a lot of money to spend on something I suspect I wonāt get on with (v2.1 had me spending Ā£400+ in one hit on the last of the v1.2)
Perhaps youād consider a larger sample bag, not just for old timers but for new people too? A Ā£10 bag sounds reasonable, maybe Ā£15 with the flavour samples Iāve seen mentioned elsewhere on the forum. Iām pulling these numbers out of nowhere, of course.
Add my name to yours on the āLike a trial listā. Iām keen to try Huel for the first time, but not at Ā£40+.
As above, want to try it but not willing to lump Ā£40 on something I havenāt tried yet.
