Huel Black Edition Vanilla - 12 Ready-to-Drink Shakes

This has changed my life. One for breakfast and one for lunch, keeps me energized and fueled for the day. When I don’t follow this, I snack all day. Very effective and healthy, my bloodwork proves it

Love, love, love this drink! Keeps me full and fueled up and I love the flavor!

It tastes good. It's a liquid plant based meal substitute, so it does have a mild plant based taste (not earthy, that's a soil like taste) but it's not overpowering or as bad as others have stated. It fills me up for a few hours, tastes good and is easy to drink. The only negative is the price.

For how expensive this is, I don't know it has the best value, mostly because of the taste. I have only tried the vanilla, but it tastes kind of bad. And for context I've been drinking soylent until they ran out of stock and I had to find an alternative.

Okay, so my daughter turned me on to a powder mix product (different company) and before I ordered more decided to look up recommendations for the best. Huel was at the top and after just one vanilla I understand why. Great flavor, great consistency.

I wouldn't normally buy something this frivolous, but I'm recovering from knee surgery. I have to stay off my feet for 6 weeks. I've been drinking the powdered stuff for nearly 10 years now, but it's too hard to prepare, drink, and clean standing on 1 leg with crutches, so I bought this for my cubicle at work. Now I just reach for a bottle and drink it without stress. Huel contains 25% of your daily value micro-nutrients per serving, so if you're recovering from surgery like me, Huel is a perfect and easy way to ensure you're feeding your body the essential nutrients it needs now more than ever on top of calories.

Flavor is disgusting and drinking this makes my flatulence smell like a garbage truck. It’s not even a bland flavor, it’s an earthy and fishy stew flavor with a hint of vanilla. Supposedly it’s not supposed to taste like fish. If it does it means their omega fats have spoiled (according to the internet). Then according to other sites the taste is earthy because I must have a high sugar diet. That’s untrue because I’ve been low sugar and no other sweeteners for a long time. So the only thing worse than the flavor is now knowing I’m drinking spoiled ingredients. On the positive side the drink is smooth and not chunky or gritty as others have mentioned. It’s not thick, flows well. No noticeable difference in energy levels. I plan to finish what I purchased and never buy again. I wanted something quick, easy, and healthy but this ain’t it.

I could tell you the taste is agreeable, that it helps augment a diet to maintain proper nutrition, that they didn't price gouge when most other food sources did, or that it seems like the ethical path forward for food, and I'd be telling the truth, but it's not what I appreciate most. I started trying Huel when I was in dark times. I was too depressed to care about myself, was having horrible GI issues that made it difficult to eat (so I was losing a lot of weight), and certainly didn't care enough to make myself food. As someone who hates product placement, I hated I learned about it from Jonathan Ross on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, but I tried it anyways. After I tried it for a few days, I ditched soylent and others, and started ordering Huel regularly. Got me through some dark times, and has stayed a favorite of mine.
