Black Edition | Vanilla 40g Vegan Protein Powder | Nutritionally Complete Meal Replacement | 27 Vitamins and Minerals, Gluten Free | 17 Servings

Little pricey but an amazing product

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.

Ran out and ordered at Amazon but the flavor texture and smell was different. So turns out Huel changed the formula in late 2025. The new stuff is awful. Bad smell, taste is very chemical and texture is overly gritty. So disappointed… this was my go to for mornings on the run. Why???

While I do like the taste despite being very sensitive to pea protein, this does taste good mixed with soy milk, I've only done one scoop as opposed to the recommended two. The scoop size is absolutely MASSIVE and I don't think I would enjoy it with two scoops in one shake. Since my goal is weight gain/maintenance, I can just have it in two servings a day, so if your goal is weight loss I would just do one scoop, which is still 200 kCal & 20g protein. Good marcos, I like the added supplements, I would like to try the strawberry flavor next.

Older reviews say there’s no scoop included, but as of September 2025 there IS a scoop included in each bag. I’ve tried Chocolate and Vanilla. Vanilla is better in my opinion. Chocolate: yeah it’s chocolatey, hint of banana flavor and artificial sweetener-resembling aftertaste. I don’t like banana so I started adding a little cinnamon and a date/sugar and it became something I would look forward to. Vanilla: I don’t have to add anything to this! It almost tastes like birthday cake. Sorcery. I always mix it in a blender with ice and water. It feels like a high-protein meal so afterwards I like to sip ginger tea.

I’d used Huel regularly a few years ago, and decided to try the ‘new and improved black’ for a low effort solution to busy days. Unfortunately I found many of the same issues present that caused me to stop using it. Pros: -Great nutritional value Cons: -Chalky flavor, which makes it difficult for me to drink without adding ingredients. -No scoop included, and no clear measurements for actual serving size to use a measuring cup -Bag can be difficult to reseal -difficult to mix, often feels like I’m using a shake weight trying to knock the clumps out of the bottom.

I really like this a lot. I used to get soylent all the time but they were constantly sold out of the larger tubs. This one is actually more filling than soylent. The price is a bit higher but I like it more.

I've used Huel Black Edition powders as my sole diet for weeks at a time and experienced no adverse effects whatsoever. In fact I actually notice my BM's are regular and normal as is my sleep and all other aspects of my nutrition. While they might not recommend it I honestly feel you can survive solely off this stuff if you wanted to. It has definitely helped in weight loss and I'm not even a fat guy, just 6' with a beer gut. Within a week of consuming mostly Huel I'll notice my pants start falling down and I'll add a notch to my belt. By the end of the 2nd week I've added 2 notches. I no longer rely on Huel as my only food source however I usually have 1 shake per day for either breakfast or dinner to save time or save digestion during sleep.

Surprisingly tasty, dissolves well even with three scoops if you use their shaker or a mixing ball. Good macros.

Just as the sdvert says. Great taste and full of goodness. Mskes you feel full for hours snd releases energy to.

I only use chocolate and accidentally got the vanilla flavor which was not bad. Did not cause any tummy issues with flavor change so all was good. I am back on chocolate again after finishing this.

I only use one scoop because I bought this as meal replacement to lose weight - if you have the 90g scoop it's 400 calories & this eats into my 1200 allowance, plus it's very sweet. I whizz it in my blender for a minute but it still comes out a little grainy. On the plus side, when I've had a glass for breakfast, I don't feel hungry and it does keep me going until lunch without craving a snack.

Taste nice, fair quantity. Only negative is there is NO SCOOP. 🤦🏻‍♂️
