Some of the oats have been substituted for tapioca starch, however oats are still the largest inclusion. We are waiting to hear back on the GI results, if I had to make a prediction I think the change will be quite small.

Also, there can be differences just based on the people that take part in the GI test. For example there are small differences between Huel US v1.1 and Huel UK v2.3 yet the US has a GI of 19 and the UK has a GI of 27.

A low GI is anything below 55, we will let you know when the results are in.

Yeap but acerola cherries also bring phytonutrients.

They’re not inferior. Why do you think they are?

You’re right the fermented drink can however, we use a powder in Huel.

Which bits do you think have changed significantly?
