Since I first tried Huel Ready-to-Drink recently (see my review here, I’ve also been enjoying another product from Huel, their nutritionally complete drink powder. Just put water in the Huel shaker jar, scoop in some Huel powder, shake well, and voila! You’ve got the nutritional equivalent of a full, well-rounded meal that you can take with you anywhere!
* Complimentary product received for review.
Actually, this amazing powder can be used in ways other than mixing with water for a meal replacement drink. For example, if you’ve got a craving for pancakes, you can add Huel powder to your regular pancake mix for the nutrition your body needs. There’s a recipe for Huel-enhanced pancakes in the helpful “Let’s Get Started” booklet that came along with my Huel powder, shaker, and scoop. It has recipes for cookies and smoothies, too. This booklet also includes examples for how to incorporate Huel into a meal plan for different purposes, including weight loss, weight gain, and maintaining weight. All of this very helpful information and much more is available at Huel’s website as well, where you’ll also find a community of “Hueligans” who, through the Hueler Forum, share their experiences with Huel and offer each other support and encouragement.
Huel powder comes in vanilla and chocolate flavors, which I received to review, as well as in berry and unflavored/unsweetened versions. For variation, they also have Flavor Boost packets in 8 different flavors (Mocha, Chai, Chocolate, Mint-Chocolate, Caramel, Apple Cinnamon, Banana, and Strawberry), which you can add to your Huel to change things up and keep it interesting. Of course, you can always provide your own additions, for example, blending Huel with fruits, instant coffee, or spices.
I found that both the chocolate and vanilla Huel powders make great smoothies when blended with a banana and/or some strawberries. A welcome side benefit of Huel, for me, is that it helps to keep me feeling full so I’m not tempted to snack on empty calories between meals.
All of Huel’s products are vegan and are made with ethically and sustainably sourced ingredients. The company describes Huel as “nutritionally complete, convenient, affordable food with minimal impact on animals and the environment. It provides you with all the carbohydrates, protein, fats, fiber and all 27 essential micronutrients your body needs to thrive.” The name “Huel” is a combination of “human” and “fuel,” which perfectly describes this innovative product.
Huel products are available at their website for a single purchase or, for more savings, through their subscription program. They also offer military and student discounts, so do take advantage of that if you qualify. Visit Huel on Facebook for all the latest news.

I have never heard of Huel. I would love to try all the different flavors.
I would so love to try this drink for breakfast. I so have to change my routine of eating poorly at breakfast.
