Huel Hot and Savory is an interesting take on meal replacement.
So far I have only tried the Indian curry, but I went in with really low expectations. Huel's Hot and Savory line gets terrible reviews! To put this into perspective, I am a quite confident home cook, if I do say so myself. I needed Huel because there are days where I am off to a quick start doing many different things. I don't have the time sometimes to make a whole lunch or prepare it the day before. I feel like many people find themselves in this situation, where they either miss breakfast, lunch, or even both. On those days, as of recent, I have been happy to just mix some Huel with water, pop it in old Chef Mike for two-and-a-half minutes and then boom, it's a nutritionally complete meal. It is worth noting that I would say to think of Huel Hot and Savory (at least the Indian Curry) as a savory oatmeal. It is made with a lot of quinoa and rice bits. So when you get the idea in mind about what the consistency is going to be like, the flavor is very tasty. While I am mentioning the flavor, the Spicy Indian Curry is heavily spiced and almost like an Indian chili in a way, it is not to be confused with the flavor or Tikka Masala or Butter Chicken though, it is far from that. It has a very mild tongue burn, but I was happy to see little red chili bits in the Huel. I have seen other reviewers mention a high sodium content, overall I don't find it to be overbearing at all or too salty on flavor. As for sodium content besides flavor, as this is a full meal replacement, it is good to have this salt. For my diet, I find it to be a proper amount of salt considering I only eat this stuff when I was too busy to make lunch or breakfast. In moments like this, I wouldn't have had any salt this whole time yet drank a lot of water, so the salt actually comes in to replenish otherwise low levels of sodium.So the bottom line: Huel is good if you would like a meal replacement that isn't a shake. It comes in a variety of flavors that which I am going to try. It is worth noting that buying directly from Huel, you can buy more bags and save money. The high price point on Amazon is a bit misleading but it is okay if you're like me and you would have rather tried it first. The Spicy Indian Curry was great, I would get it again if it wasn't sold out currently on Huel's official website.Here's to hoping that Huel keeps on refining their recipes and making the food taste better. The spicy Indian Curry is great but with just a little more work, I'm sure it could appeal to the masses.

Sigh. It’s bad in all the ways I hoped it would be good.
Before I get started, I just want to say I’m not someone who only writes bad reviews. If you check out my profile, you should see a pretty good mix of different star reviews.That said….I have been getting bombarded with Huel advertising for the past six months. My wife and I have two kids under the age of three and don’t have as much time for cooking as we used to. So I figured I would take the leap and give it a chance since it seemed like a high protein, low effort meal… perfect for stressed out vegetarian parents.Taste:Bad. So bad. :( Read some of the other reviews. It’s bland. The consistency of textures isn’t quite right. Somehow too soft and too hard at the same time. It’s possible I cooked it wrong but the cooking instructions are akin to making Mac and cheese.Body feeling:About five hours after eating this for the first time, I got a pretty bad stomachache. Sorry if this is TMI, but I was incredibly gassy for the rest of the day while it’s possible that that came from something else, most of what I had eaten that day are things that I eat regularly. when my stomach started to hurt, I asked myself what did I eat? This doesn’t feel right.Price:it’s hard to say if this is overpriced or not. This is a weird market so it’s probably priced as it should but now that I’ve tried it, it feels extremely overpriced. I suppose something is worth what people are willing to pay for it and I paid this so that’s probably on me.Return policy:I actually bought two bags of these and had planned to return one of them since I had such a bad reaction to it, but when I clicked on the return button, it said “there is no return policy.” Which is the exception and not the rule with Amazon these days. 😏 Sigh… my plan is to try to give this away for free on Buy nothing.Team H: If someone from the company is reading this, I really wanted to like your product! It seemed like a really great solution to a problem I had as a father of two kids with limited time. I feel like the idea is five stars, but for me, the execution just isn’t there. It’s possible I would’ve liked some of the other recipes more? But I had such a bad experience with one with this one that I probably won’t try the second ($40) bag.To anyone else reading this, I’d log this product in the “too good to true” bucket. I don’t know how else to say it, but I’m really surprised that someone tasted this and went to market with it. It probably needed 2 to 3 more iterations.

good cost per meal value
the stuff tastes good. could use a little more salt. I like spicy food, this really hits the spot. I use this because it's just easier than having to meal prep and count macros to try to loose weight. This is 9 points a serving on weight watchers. at 400 calories and 25 G protien with 10 G fiber. roughly 6.25 a meal when you figure in taxes. . . its economical both time and money wise. It's filling without bloating you, and most important, tastes good.

With scoop?
Product tastes great my only problem it is advertised as “with lastfuel scoop” but it does not in fact come with said scoop. It’s not a deal breaker but the Amazon listing needs to be updated. The taste and texture is 5 stars but I’m only giving it 3 for the false listing of the item, I believe sellers should be held responsible for false listings of their products.

May be healthy? Tastes pretty bad. Plus, no scoop...
Wanted to try one of these Huel Savory meals. I like spicy food, I like Indian food.First off - no scoop. No information on mixing, so I had to get out a scale to weigh the portion. Huel couldn't include a scoop? Come on... Looked online - nobody has volume for a scoop - just weight in grams. Doesn't make any sense.Beyond it taking me 20 minutes to try to figure out how to make it - the end result was pretty bad. First bite really bad. Second bite a little less bad - spice starts kicking in a little. Third bite a little less bad - spice up to cruising altitude. I would have to be desperate to eat this though. Wasted $40 on this. It may be healthy, but it tastes too bad to eat - so great for rapid weight loss if you spend your food budget on this.Don't believe the hype.

It’s ok but a bit expensive
Cost is a bit high and not spicy enough for my liking prolly won’t order more though.
