Older people (above 50!) and menopause would be great!

It is said that a vegan diet misses some micro nutrients. Does huel overcome that? And if not what should one do?
Also an article how to use huel in the best way for fitness goals.
I (think I) have a great topic which is somewhat Black Mirror-ish…
On the assumption that you are what you eat, what would happen if in say 50 years time, everyone on the planet was eating Huel as their main food source. Would human beings slowly but surely become clones or carbon copies of each other? Now I am a Huel user myself but arguably the spice to life is the different things we all put into our mouths each day? (no smutty comments required here LOL)
It’s not just the actual food per se, but all the things surrounding it - conversations (“what are you eating today”, “what’s in your paella”, “how did you cook that”, “were you up all night baking”), opinions (“I can’t stand Marmite”, “how can you add chilli oil to that?!”) etc…
Anyway, I think this could make a really interesting - hopefully not too dystopian future related - article.
Thoughts?

This would be great and something we are really keen on doing. It’s just getting all the data together! We have this recent article which you might be interested in if you haven’t seen it: 50 million meals sold in 80+ countries – Huel
Any poor quality diet can be missing micronutrients, but the key is a good quality diet. We have this article on essential micronutrients in general: What are the 26 essential vitamins and minerals? – Huel and how they are included in Huel: Essential vitamins and minerals in Huel

I would like to hear about the geosocial impact of the production of Huel from a raw material. By this I mean the farming and production of the raw materials; specifically the areas of production of the ingredients and how the commercialisation of farming of the Huel raw materials have impacted (either positively or negatively) upon the farmers, their employees, the local community and local economy. This could include stories of local economies, housing and infrastructure etc to the displacement of people or cattle. I hope this doesn’t appear too academic, this isn’t my intention.
Love the ambition but in some areas this may be tricky. This is because many farming areas existed before Huel and didn’t specifically spring up to produce a particular ingredient for Huel.
Hi Dan,
Thanks for the links they give some general information. But I and many with me are in a jungle of (mis)information on vegan diets. Especially in combination with fitness goals.
-
vegans have a shorter life expectancy than carnivores. Due to dietary shortage of some micro nutrients. Zink, B12
-
proteins from vegetables have a different proteine profile than meat, fish, egs, milk. In other words you need to eat more of it to have the same effect for muscle growth.
-
Most huel users are using it for two out of the three meals. Breakfast and lunch.
-
based on the points above how does one fill the gap to make sure they are eating healthy and getting the most out of there diet for fitness goals.
Thanks in advance.
Are these myths or stuff that looks true? I will go through them now anyway.
I presume you mean omivores (people that eat plant foods and meat, not just meat). There’s no real evidence for that claim, in fact the opposite may be true. However, it’s much more about diet quality. There are healthy/unhealthy vegan diets and healthy/unhealthy ominvore diets.
A lot of foods can be fortified now or supplement, there’s nothing wrong with a good-quality vegan diet.
Not necessarily true. Soy, buckwheat and quinoa all have a PDCAAS score of 1.0, so does the combined protein sources of Huel. You can find out more here.
Completely agree, do you have any concerns with this/information you want to know?
I will give it a try!! Thanks
It’s the quality of the life not the quantity. I’ve been vegan for most of my life, and I am such a sex symbol I live the life of Riley. Huel gives me more time to pursue my hedonistic lifestyle. So if I die tomorrow I’ll be happy…and so will everyone else.

To be honest I don’t know. I found information on Wikipedia but cannot find it again.

How can I calculate how much I need to add to my diet to have a healthy diet if I have huel for 2/3 meals. Protein I can calculate as the proteïne in huel is mainly pea protein and brown rice protein. But what about B12, Zink
I want to avoid to create a deficit while trying so hard to eat healthy. Most vegans look on the pale side just as some hueligan here even if they are 200+ years old 
In addition.
Traveling with huel on airplanes and getting it trough customs.
In addition could you guess recommend a vegan protein powder? To reach some users specific macro goal.
You do look a little bit pale, and your hair has looked better in the past i believe. Nice knife by the way, really good for chopping up some greens.

Hi team Huel.
I’ve seen the new article on plant based milks, I like it, thanks! Have I missed any others? Any others in development? It would be good to have something interesting to read over the festive period that isn’t the Radio Times 
Interested about culture change. I tend to ‘hide’ the fact I have Huel for lunch and breakfast at work. I’m not vegan/vegetarian but Huel makes a lot of sense for me to ensure I have healthy (and cheap!) meals at least twice a day. I’ve previously struggled and failed to do this consistently.
This is a hard point to get across to people who when I have mentioned it before refer to it as ridiculous, rabbit food etc etc. It’s simply a really easy healthy option for me, not a moral stance. It’s got to the point where I don’t bother talking about it and just say I’m having a smoothie.
Huel really does do a great job with the product and market it has nurtured, but I’d be interested in articles about wider looking views on what needs to happen to make this solution (And Huel competitors) more widely accepted as a ‘normal’ choice.
Glad you liked it!
We also have:
Huel Guide to Sustainability

In about a week you will also see all articles updated and in line with the new products.
That’s a great idea! I think it’s important to start with Huel isn’t a meal replacement, but simply food. Which I think we explain quite well in this article. Society can be a bit slow in taking up new ideas but we have seen loads of favourable change towards Huel since the company started 4 and half years ago.
