Hey Folks, been a while since I last posted but I come with some updates!
A few weeks ago Tim posted about a formula update coming to our US v3 Powder range on Reddit a few weeks ago - that same change is now rolling out across the UK, and you’ll be getting an email from us with all the deets. Posting here too since I know a lot of you will see it first on here.
TLDR: The v3 Powder recipe is changing across the full UK range, starting from the week of 31st August. Updated proteins, coconut milk powder replacing MCT oil, improved texture and flavour. 30g of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals per serving stays the same.
What’s changing
The main recipe changes:
Updated pea and brown rice proteins
MCT oil powder replaced with coconut milk powder
Improved texture and flavour
On nutrition: 30g of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals per serving are unchanged. There’ll be small shifts in individual micronutrient amounts - you’ll find the full breakdown on the packaging once the new batch is with you.
The easiest way to tell if you’ve received the updated recipe: coconut milk powder on the ingredients list.
We believe this is a big step forward: a creamier texture, smoother across the range. I’d obviously say that, though. Try it and let us know!
When is each flavour changing?
Different flavours phase in as existing stock runs through:
Chocolate - week commencing 31st August
Berry - week commencing 7th September
Salted Caramel - week commencing 7th September
Vanilla - week commencing 7th September
Banana - week commencing 21st September
Coffee Caramel - week commencing 21st September
Mint Chocolate - week commencing 21st September
Unflavoured & Unsweetened - week commencing 21st September
Original - week commencing 5th October
Cinnamon Swirl - week commencing 26th October
These are estimates and may shift depending on availability.
Do you need to do anything?
No. If you’re subscribed, you’ll automatically receive the updated recipe once existing stock has sold through. You can review or manage your subscription at any time via your account.
Like always, any questions just let me know and I will be happy to help!
That’s not a normal sentence. You don’t update proteins, they are not a web browser. What actually changed? Present the change by showing the old information and then showing the new information.
How does that affect the amount of MCT per 2000kcal? Present the information by showing the old amounts and then showing the new amounts.
Additionally, how does it affect people who have a coconut allergy? MCT oil is by definition free of the allergens, unless it is processed incorrectly, that was the argument previously for why people with coconut allergy don’t need to worry about consuming Huel.
It would make more sense to make the full breakdown public before the product actually arrives at the customer, so that the customer can choose whether they still want to purchase the product. Will you make the full breakdown available publicly for comparison to the old version?
Incrementing the version number would make more sense.
On the MCT content, the updated recipe contains 0.55g of MCTs per serving, compared to 1.0g per serving previously. That equates to 2.75g per 2,000 kcal, compared with 5g per 2,000 kcal in the previous recipe.
Coconut has never been a declared allergen in the UK, and in the US it was removed from the FDA’s list of major allergens in 2025. However, coconut is still an ingredient in the updated recipe, so we wouldn’t recommend the updated v3 Powder for anyone with a specific coconut allergy.
Of course, once the rollout has gone live, we will make all this information available under the science section on our page where all the current ingredients sit.
Feedback I will pass on. It would make sense like you said and has been something we’ve done in the past.
I only have U&U powder, not sure how delicious it can be haha. And i add 600ml of water instead of 500 to make it less thick, my blender may run out of room if I need more water >.<
I don’t know how you can do that. I’ve tried it several times but just can’t get used to it… admittedly not for a few years tho. I do drink uu but 50/50 with another flavour
I love U&U, one at 09:00 and another at 14:00, especially nice if blended with an ice cube. I have chocolate RTD at 20:00 after exercise but prefer U&U if i could only have one all the time.
