Warm Huel ideas

[Lowribrown13]

Hi everyone,

How do people best warm up their Huel shakes and what do people suggest/ good flavour combos for warm Huel?

Winter weather calls for a warm Huel shake as well as hot and savoury!

Heating interferes with the micronutrients, they might get broken down. But if you add cold water, Huel and a hot drink at the end it should not be that bad. Maximal total temperature should at least not exceed 30-40°C.

Heating Huel & Nutrients

@JamesCollier has written this previously: When you heat Huel, carbohydrates remain unchanged. Proteins may change in structure upon heating, but this will not affect the amount of protein. Although some fats are prone to oxidation, ground flaxseeds have been shown to be much more stable than flaxseed oil. There may be losses of some of the more labile micronutrients when using boiling water (eg potassium, vitamin C, some B vitamins) because these micronutrients may partly leach into the water…

they also accounted for this with the Hot and Savory products

The biggest and best Huel launch ever... Huel Hot & Savoury

There will be some degradation of the more sensitive micronutrients e.g. vitamin C and folate but we’ve accounted for this in our formulations. We’ve also run lab tests of microwaved and boiled water samples vs a cold water standard.

I refered to the regular powder, and here the instability of some micronutrients does seem to be a problem. Boiling water could also increase the tendency to form lumps. And I would definitely worry about the less stable micronutrients like vitamin c.

James’s response is referring to cooking with powder
