HuelBlack Edition | Chocolate 40g Vegan Protein Powder | Nutritionally Complete Meal | 27 Vitamins and Minerals, Gluten Free | 17 Servings

I have lost 10 pounds using Huel. This is great for a meal replacement. The fiber is filling and the chocolate flavor is tasty.I kinda wanted to test out the nutrition factor. I've (liquid) fasted in the past using different shakes and drinks...but always had to break the fasting after a day or two due to my body feeling nutritionally deficient...For fasting days I use this meal replacement to see if my body woukd feel fine (nutritionally) during the fasting days.I fasted for 5 days. My body did not feel any umbalances. With fasting for mental and physical fuel the body needs certain types of electrolytes i used "Fuel 4 Ever."Energy wise this formula works. But the fasting process always had to be stopped early due to anger, raw nerves, confusion, depression, mood swings, memory issues, etc.WITH HUEL there were NO issues. I fasted for 5 days and had no problems. I had 1 Huel shake for each meal. Sometimes added another shake during the day, if I felt it was needed.I did liquid fasting for 5 days. And could have done this liquid fast longer. During these days I worked out with weights at the gym and jogged.The combination of Huel with the electrolyte supplement made a strong team. The nutrition made the fasting possible. The "Fuel 4 Ever" gave me the electrolyte support for Energy during an active week.During the fast.. i felt great and lossing pounds had never been easier. After 5 days I lost 3 pounds.Since then I've also done intermediate fasting. I've had Huel for breakfast as a meal replacement and lunch. And later early in the evening id have a cooked dinner. If I felt hungry before bed I'd have another Huel drink.I've since then lost more weight. This drink is incredible for taking away hunger and giving complete nutrition. I've tried so many drinks, supplements, strategies to loss weight. Failure time after time is a hard pill to swallow. Huel is effective.I am overcoming obesity. I'm grateful to have found this product. I thank God for Him helping me find this supplement and connect the dots for better health. Also....to those who made Huel I want to say from the heart, "thank you."

So full disclosure here, I am not a regular user of this product, so I am a bit biased. I was unable to obtain my usual product before my trip to Vegas, so I purchased Huel. I did find the flavor is good and a scoop was in fact included, thankfully as trying to measure it accurately would have been a nightmare. I used almond milk for my mixer. When I drank it all, there was a still a bit clinging to the sides but my normal one does that and I usually just put in a bit of water to thin it up and get the remaining nutrients. I will be finishing the bag when I get home in my normal breakfast smoothies in which I use a blender, and I will see how that goes. My only real complaint is the 17 servings per bag. Directions say you need to use 2 scoops, which seems a bit smaller than the 20 servings I am used to from my usual product at one scoop per serving, which is only a few dollars more.

I purchased the Banana flavor. I like the taste. I like the texture. I like the fact that it offers a more complete nutritional profile. I don’t like that it’s only 17 servings at nearly $60. So I use it sparingly.

I almost never mix up a Huel and drink it immediately. I mix it up right after I drink the last one, which has been sitting mixed in the fridge for hours already, up to a day or more sometimes. This ENORMOUSLY helps with the texture. I do this with all my shakes. They are all better after soaking longer. If it soaks too long it starts to ferment and opening the shaker bottle will come with an obvious pressure pop and it tastes sparkly kind of like kombucha. The website says don't let it sit too long pre-mixed but so far I've never noticed any dire effects. Could be I'm gambling with my life?It doesnt come with a scoop. This is to save money and the earth. Your first order of Huel from their website includes one, but I just use a stainless steel measuring cup I have set aside in a dish on the counter for this one purpose.Add the powder to the liquid, not the liquid to the powder, unless you like bricks at the bottom of your bottle. You can't put dry powder in a bottle for transport and add water later wherever you are. Learned this the hard way.Swirl the bottle before shaking it, so you don't just slam pack the top of the bottle full of sludge that never mixes in. Learned this the hard way too.When I first open a new bag, I will take a toothbrush I have for cleaning shaker bottles, and dry scrub out the zipper of the huel bag. Wherever they pack this stuff and seal the bag, there is often powder in the zipper. I do this until I'm able to get the zip to close. You can also just fold and use a clip, or dump it all in a repurposed protein powder jug or a big plastic tupperware.I like to mix my chocolate huel with chocolate vega sport protein. ~ 60g Huel, ~30g Vega. It's like drinking chocolate pudding.The coffee flavor has caffeine. May seem obvious but I learned the hard way after a sleepless night.Huel contains MCT oil from coconut. This has me searching for alternatives because I am mildly allergic. I used to use straight MCT oil and could immediately tell that the area around my nose would get itchy after taking it. The effect of the Huel is milder to the point that I've ignored it for years, but I figure it's time to quit giving myself mild allergic reactions constantly. This info is for anyone who might notice anything similar.Any new product may come with a gastrointestinal adjustment period. Oats are commonly associated with gas. You might want to get a digestive enzyme supplement along with your first order. I have never noticed a particular reaction with Huel myself, but it's pretty common that new proteins and fibers introduced into your diet will have an adjustment period and you may eventually decide you're not compatible if it never goes away.

This stuff is fabulous! It's a bit like oatmeal for texture just using the shaker bottle, but I really like it. Probably would get completely smooth in a blender. I really like the taste - not too sweet. It really does fill you up and lasts.
