This was a response to a thread about granola but I got excited. Lol. Omg… huel nutritionally complete sauce like for pasta etc. (We make ‘rainbow sauce’ with all the veggies plus tomatoes, onions and garlic to hide the ‘green veg’ taste for the kids)… but a powdered nutritionally complete sauce that can be a pasta sauce or a base for curries and chillies and spag bol etc would be AWESOME! You could have one creamy base and one tomato base! Would have all the time stressed parents in the world on board! 
Thinking about it further, it would only be enriched, rather than ‘complete’ as it would be designed to be added to… but i know many many people who would use this for children if it existed. (Anything better than a jar full of sugar!)

I like your thinking here.

My hope for Huel is that it’s nutritional density increases until a serving is small enough to swallow as a pill, but if an almost nutritionally complete sauce comes out I’d be game to neck a couple of those as a meal sans noodles.
Easy one for kids… just add a bit of powder to breakfast cereals. Works brilliantly in oats of course, and granola

Yes… keep meaning to make huel cookies but not convinced baking huel keeps all the good bits. (Although if I cant get hold of flour anytime soon I’ll have to give it a go).
Smart idea! We would need to massively increase the nutrient density, I don’t fancy pouring 600ml of sauce on my pasta! Cool idea though.

Hmm. Lol. Although sauces are much thicker (although not that much, granted).
And I suppose ‘super enriched’, rather than ‘complete’ would help there too.
Honestly, I just want to get out of batch making the only vegetables I can reliably get my 6 year old to eat. 
Huel soup then!
I make that anyway though by just using blended veg plus UU to thicken it. Yum

I see where you’re coming from with this but personally I think Huel is entirely unsuitable for children.
Not from a health perspective (although I’m sure a nutritionist would be able to tell us how a child’s needs are totally different etc) but more because I think it’s so important to teach children what ‘real’ healthy food looks, feels and tastes like.
I completely understand that the idea of being able to feed your family with minimal time and effort is sometimes very appealing though!

I think Huel is nutritionally good for children over about 5 years old, but I agree with
I’m calling it. This is clearly the post that inspired the new hot huel lol

That’s some mighty fast R&D 
Nah R&D is easy. I bet they just chucked some veg in with Huel powder, added some spices and… job done lol

I honestly never planned to give children a 100% huel diet …But occasionally, I make a tomato based sauce and I add loads of blended veggies to it to give it a nutritional kick and it can be poured over fish/pasta/anything… or used as a base for most things… this idea was, for me, about a handy sauce to put in or over ‘real food’ to make me feel less guilty about the utter crap they serve in school, or the occasional chicken nugget and chip meal. And it would be a whole lot better and cheaper than from a jar… only my thoughts tho… also… neurodiversity and sensory issues can affect children’s diets immensely… so any way to help their parents might be helpful. But I only meant it for 1 meal a fortnight or so anyway.
Anyway, this was a random thought a few months ago… and i saw the ad today and it made me think back to it…
Edited… not the same concept… but did make me think of it!

I doubt very much that this post would have given anyone a second thought… but…I would be interested to know whether it *could * be made up thicker and used as a sauce… and whether it could be used for children with god-awful parents who don’t want to give real food. (Or just occasionally… for the not quite so bad ones…) Hypothetically, of course.
There’s been so many of those kinda of posts! My comment above for example I had to word it so nonchalantly!
OK… looked at it properly… and it looks more snack a soup type… with bits.
So, probably not for the kids… ha… but I’m still excited to try it.
