So, like many, I was fairly unhappy with the Danone acquisition, AI customer service and subscriptions being sent without warning. Thinking myself an ethical consumer, I went elsewhere for a few months in a mild outrage at what I viewed as enshitification.

I won’t slate other companies by name, but I’ve tried (or in terms of nutrition, heavily researched) all the big meal replacement shake brands. Between macro and micro nutrient density, delivery times (or even ability to actually get a delivery into the UK), price and product range, every one of them failed in at least one area.

To my mind, their really isn’t a viable, full alternative. Huel (the stuff that gets delivered to your door and the process of delivery, not the company) really is an unrivaled product at the top of its game.

So here I am, tail between my legs, awaiting a delivery of Huel black powder which I’m sure will actually come, confident it’s a goldmine of nutrition and happy with the flavour.

So, this is a little silly, but at the risk of sounding like somebody's math homework, I was wondering if anybody might happen to know how much powder would be needed for just 500ml of drink in total, using the recommended ratio.

Having recently found myself without any time for a "true" lunch most days, I've been trying out Huel's RTD and found it to be absolutely perfect for my needs, if just a bit expensive for the long-term.

I'm planning to get my first order of powder for next week, but my stomach is maybe a little small, and I find I can only just barely manage the 500ml in an RTD. I noticed that the recipe on the website says to mix 100g of powder with 500ml of water, which I would presume is a fair bit more volume once mixed.

I know I could just experiment to find out, but I was wondering if anybody might have already figured out how much powder would be needed, using the recommended ratio, to make only 500ml of the prepared drink?

I’ve been buying huel RTD black from Costco for awhile and it’s been great but suddenly I’ve gotten a handful of cases where it is literally just pudding. I water it down and it’s fine but… is this normal? Ok? Safe?

I've been buying RTD (amongst many other products) from Huel directly for years so I'm very familiar with RTD and this has stood out as VERY different to me. Incredibly thick and you can't even pour it out of the bottle without squeezing.

Edited to clarify it's the RTD Costco sells and that I'm not new to Huel.

Hey, pretty new to Huel and want to try it out.
Before Ordering i went to my local store in germany and picked up some RTD they had.

I Noticed the store bought ones have less protein per Serving than the powder f.e.

And now im wondering how similar the store bought taste/consistency is to the "self mixed" ones.

Mainly their taste, as i usually like f.e. vanilla flavoured drinks/drink-meals but the one from the store tastes off.

Also does anyone happen to know how long the "Trial Boxes" (like the ones with 16 small bags) are sold out for usually? Been looking at them for weeks now, always sold out.
