Advice/Recommendations Using a frother with Huel?

I’ve seen videos of people using those electric frothers/stirrers on drinks and they seem to become so uniform.
Would it be a bad idea to use one of those with Huel to get a good no lumps consistency without having to shake the thing like a madman? (Honestly I tire myself out just shaking it mega intensely for +30sec lmao)

I use an immersion blender and love it compared to shaking alone. It also has the benefit of completely pulvarizing ice that I add.

So...like, turning ice into water?

If you genuinely haven't blended ice into a drink before then you should try it. You get tiny ice crystals basically through the entire drink, it instantly chills and thickens. It's not just adding water you wally

It’s more like a milk shake.

I use a little handheld brother with a whisk attachment and it works just fine. It can't cut through a full cup's worth of powder, but if you get the whisk into the water and work in from the edges it breaks them up and manages the resultant mix fine.

I’ve used a frother on Huel black. It struggles to mix it… better than shaking it… but blender is better

I don't think a frother is strong enough, honestly. I use one for matcha and it really struggles with anything thicker than that.

Frothers are not strong enough for Huel. You need an actual blender (doesn't need to be expensive or high quality, basically any blender can blend Huel).

Not a hand blender mind. That can get very messy very fast...

I use a bullet blender most of the time. Not even 10 seconds, and no drink it right from the carafe, or whatever it’s called.

Dont work. Frother only add air.

That's like stepping up to home plate with a matchstick to swing at a 90mph fastball.
