When I bought the rhubarb and custard flavour pack a month back it was the only flavour left in stock, now they appear to finally have larger quantities available to purchase and I’m wondering what people’s thoughts are on the flavours and the Huel used.
The bitter stevia taste is quite noticeable with Rhubarb and Custard though it’s not completely awful if used in the right amount. Interested to know how the stevia jibes with the chocolate flavour in particular.
Toffee, chocolate, strawberry, banana and chocolate I imagine will be the best contenders (such exotic taste buds I know).
I’ve got the banana, and am really enjoying it. I’m adding it on top of the vanilla flavour which makes it a little too sweet, but I can just about stomach it.
Word of warning, if you get some on your hand, don’t lick it off - that flavours are potent!
I really want to try them all, but they come in quite large bags. I think one extra flavour bag with each months order and I’ll build up the selection. I have also added cocoa powder (I use Green and Blacks) - it’s an ‘ok’ additive.
I’ve been using the chocolate, pineapple and coconut, and banana. Chocolate is my favorite but they are all delicious. Flavor is ten times better when it’s refrigerated. Going to try Mocha next, when I last ordered it was out of stock.
I use the unflavoured/unsweetened version and I have to say that unfortunately the Strawberry flavour is the only flavour I like, the chocolate is ok but not great, so I just have to hope the strawberry never runs out of stock as I’ll be stuck.
Can confirm. Opened bag, powder puffed up in the air, and I basically snorted airborne strawberry flavouring. Could taste it via my nose. Very unpleasant feeling.
Have tried each a few times now and at the moment my order of preference is:
Mocha
Chocolate
Banana
Toffee
Strawberry
Pineapple and Coconut
Rhubarb and custard
I can’t really decide which order Toffee and Strawberry should be yet. For my taste buds, I think the Toffee, Pineapple and coconut and Rhubarb and custard need a little less flavour added than the others otherwise taste a bit overpowering.
Will definitely be getting Mocha, Chocolate, Banana again.
Might go for some Toffee and Strawberry now and again.
Probably won’t go for Pineapple and Coconut and Rhubarb and custard again.
First time I opened a bag (mocha) the kitchen smelled of it for days - which was fine, but now I keep them all in sealed containers!!
I find the flavours work best when you use a 50/50 mix of Vanilla & Unflavoured/Unsweetened as the base Huel. Stops them making the Huel too sweet and means you can, if you wish, add more flavouring.
At what point do you add the flavouring? I tried strawberry for the first time, added it on top of the UU powder before shaking, and couldn’t really taste anything…
I left half of it until the next day, at which point I could faintly taste strawberry, and the smell was a little different, but still not strong.
Am I unusual in that I like the Matcha Tea flavour? I was considering ordering a bag of it until I saw the price… £12.50, almost twice the price of all the others.
i’m happy enough to go unflavoured, really.
