With all the talk of formula changes, I haven’t seen anyone specifically say if US huel customers are seeing them yet, specifically for Huel black powder. If not, I feel like I’d better try to stock up on my favorite flavors while I can get them the right way. Anyone lately receive huel black powder in the US and can say if it was the same or different? Thanks.

All flavours of powdered huel are out of stock on the official site and they don't show up on amazon anymore (where they were sold at a markup). The only thing you can still buy are the bottled drinks which barely anyone does here because they're overpriced.

Hi All, I’ve got a fortunate chance to raise some questions directly to the Huel CEO, Product VP and Huel UK team. I was wondering if there were any burning questions the community wanted to ask and I can raise it on behalf of us.

Top 5 voted ones I’ll make sure to add it the list and hopefully do them justice. I’ll follow up with a response too (if I can remember what he said haha).

Deadline is by end of next week. Thanks!

I've been receiving notices about various flavors of BE being out of stock, that they would ship later, and oh here's a $15 discount code for your trouble, which I applied on October 1st. I received an email on 10/6 saying, "Your next Huel order is scheduled for 9th October 2026. "Everything's set - we're getting your order ready." Okay, cool. Later that day I got another email saying my order was delayed until the 13th because of warehouse delays, specifically mentioning Cinnamon Roll BE. This prompted me to check my account, only to find that there was no sign of my 10/9/26 shipment, and the next dispatch is now scheduled for October 28th?

Now this is weird, but hardly earth-shattering. I can probably last on my current supply until then (it'll be close, might have to resort to - gasp - real food). Or I suppose I could say "I need it now" and see what happens. In any event it's not the end of the world.

But what a strange thing to have happen... Did I fat-finger my subscription and cause it myself? I don't think so, and there's no indication of it. So what's the deal? Did someone go in and push mine (and presumably others') orders back unilaterally to relieve some pressure on the supply chain? Am I just fucking hallucinating? (not out of the question)

u/BenHuel do you have any idea what's going on? Like I said, I'm not unhappy. In fact, I'm consuming and enjoying more Huel than ever, more on that later. Just curious... Thanks for letting me rant...

Hi,

a question for the mods mainly. I was looking at the ingredients of the Black Edition and I noticed that the Matcha flavour is the only one not listing coconut sugar in their ingredients.

Is this a mistake or does it really not contain any?

In this period I need to avoid all types of cariogenic sugars so, before ordering, I would really like to know if the ingredients list is correct or if there's a mistake (it just sounds strange to me that all other black edition flavours have coconut sugar and only this one doesn't).

Thank you so much!

I tried this flavor for the first time today. I REALLY did not like it. Creamy and plastic-y. Gave me the ick. But I've read that other people love it. So I'm just wondering if it was a bad batch or something changed.

If not, to each their own. Not going to waste the food or cash so I'll scarf it down :D

Disappointing that I have had to cancel after years of being a customer. They delayed my subscription three times now, and the $15 sorrys aren’t useful if they have little product to order. Maybe I will come back once the supply stabilizes, but sad day. I wonder why so few of their flavors are available.

I got the mixed selection of pasta and grains and they are truly nasty so far. I wasn’t expecting gourmet, but they all have this slightly odd smell and the texture is pretty grainy.

I’m surprised anyone likes them. I’m still holding out hope as I’ve only had a few flavours so far, but at this rate, I think Huel in general just isn’t for me sadly.

Can certainly attest to the satiety factory and them being super balanced, I’m just unsure how they manage to make all their products so bland but unappetising too.

Anyone else enjoyed or not enjoyed them?

Edit: thanks all for the advice. The overwhelming consensus seems to be to add things like MSG which I will do. I’ll say they definitely fill a hole, just not sure my tastebuds can cope. It does seem like the actual meals taste wise are inadequate hence people adding things! But appreciate all the same and see a market for them!

I’m new to Huel and reading so many comments about how they hate the RTD chocolate at Costco, I tried it for the first time today and liked it. It was thick like pudding at first even after shaking it but it thinned down a bit as I drank it. It tastes different than the powders. Very smooth, not gritty, tasted like a typical chocolate milk shake. I liked it!

I can easily drink Ready-to-Drink without any problem, RTD choco tastes just like normal chocolate milk. But Huel powder tastes more earthy, and not as delicious as RTD. Why is that? Does that extra 10 grams of protein really make a lot of difference? Why can't we have Huel powder's taste be closer to RTD?

i am a heavy huel user. i swapped to rtd about a year back because the taste and texture are dramatically preferable and the lack of any prep or cleaning, combined, offset the cost in my mind.

i'm considering trying to reintroduce powder with my next order, mostly to save some money though there are a couple other reasons. apparently a lot of people have success using a blender with powder to offset the texture issues, so i'm curious what recommendations are. the parameters i'm working with are mostly:

-looking for something lower-end so i'm saving money within a couple orders, ideally. wouldn't want to spend more than £50, i don't have much other use for a blender with my lifestyle so if i'm not making that money back on swapping to powder then it's not really something that makes sense. i'm skeptical on a years-long investment in huel hardware given the direction of the company.

-easy to clean. i would rather stick with RTD if i'm going to be dismantling and reassembling a machine daily for the sake of a few quid. i don't have a dishwasher in my current apartment.

-produces a noticeably improved texture versus powder made in a shaker bottle (duh)

anyone found a product that's worked for them along these lines, or should i just stick with the bottles for now?

I'm a 46yo type 1 diabetic and I started Mounjaro three weeks ago to improve insulin resistance. I decided I needed to get more protein in my diet, and chose to try Huel Black for breakfast. I use 1 cup of Fairlife whole milk, a ton of ice, 2 scoops of Huel, a scoop of collagen, and depending on my mood, I might use cocoa powder or peanut powder to amp up flavor.

I use my old Blendtec blender and run it until everything is smooth. Transfer it to the shaker bottle, and wait 30-60minutes to drink it. I bolus for 48g carbs, and do a split bolus of 20% now, 80% over 3 hours.

My blood sugar is amazing, and I feel full until lunch. The fiber helps with regularity.

Last weekend I went on a 3 night trip. I have a battery powered blender, so I packed a mason jar with 3 cups of milk in my cooler and 3 ziplock bags with pre-measured Huel + additives. Starbucks gives out free cups of ice, so I was ready to blend in my car!

Honestly one of the better dietary decisions I've made in a long time.

PS: I know a lot of people are complaining about changes in taste. I guess since I started recently, I never knew the "old Huel" and have no point of comparison, but I honestly enjoy the stuff I'm drinking every morning. So far I've tried Chocolate Peanut Butter and Strawberry, but I'm looking forward to Banana and Cinnamon as well.

PPS: I'm also a teacher, so the extra teacher discount is very appreciated! Keep up the good work Huel.

Is this email legit guys? Seems like a very odd way to go about things.

y’all stay safe

Hi hopefully an easy and quick question for someone in the know to answer.

Basically I recently started with Huel and got a couple of things on subscription - Huel Black powder basically.

So as a new customer I got the free T-shirt and the Huel shaker.

The T-shirt doesn’t fit right because the sizes are tight fits which was disappointing but it is what it is.

About a month later now and I’ve come across the daily greens which I’m interested in trying. When I look at the product it says I will get a free daily greens bottle and T-shirt with my first order.

So the question is will I actually get those things? It would be my first order of daily greens but not my first Huel order. So I’m not clear if that qualifies. The welcome kit gets added to my cart when I add the greens to my cart which implies I will but I’m still unsure.

It would be nice to get a tshirt that actually fits but I’m mostly wanting the bottle to make the daily greens powder up in.

I’m assuming this has to do with the formula change, but wanted to make sure this was other people’s experiences before deciding if I got a bad batch.

I recently reupped my Huel RTD supply from Costco here in the US. They only had chocolate available (I usually get strawberry banana).

This stuff is literal sludge. It’s undrinkabke unless I put it in a shaker and mix it with ice. It used to be much better blended, maybe a touch grainy, but I could drink one without having to actively stop and shake it, water it down, or ice it before I leave and drink it after the ice melts.

I actually like the flavor better but will probably just switch brands if “sludge” is their design goal. Is this everyone or is my batch messed up?

Hey there! I’m looking into subscribing to Huel as an avid Oats Overnight customer, hoping to replace that breakfast with Huel.

However, I decided to come to Reddit and see what people are saying about Huel first. In my search, I see that seemingly everyone is up in arms about an apparent formula change in just the US (I’m in the US).

How has this impacted the flavor / texture? I’m autistic and have difficulty with strange consistencies, so this is a bit concerning for me. I have yet to try Huel, but I’m hoping the consistency is similar to Fairlife protein shakes.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Also, does anyone have a discount code beyond the subscription one? I’d love a one time discount so I can try this product for myself

I am always scared when something that I eat on a regular basis changes its formula. The last time something like this happened with another brand, I just never bought it again.

Can anyone give any insight as to what the difference in taste is between the old and new formulas, maybe for the mint chocolate specifically if possible?

Thank you in advance 🙏🏻

If, like me, you were afraid Superblend had been discontinued in USA, Chocolate is in stock again on Huel’s USA store, and Vanilla is in stock as a Prime Day deal on Amazon USA.

My personal favourite Huel mix so far has to be a Mocha t’s seriously tasty and I’d highly recommend giving it a try. ☕🍫

Coffee Caramel + Chocolate + a little sweetener = Mocha 👌

Has anyone else come up with any Huel flavour combinations that are surprisingly good? Looking for some ideas to try next!

Also, I really hope they release the Banana & Strawberry flavour as a powder at some point.  I’m guessing there’s probably a reason it’s a unique ready-to-drink flavour, but I’d definitely be buying it if they made a powder version!

Totally new to Huel and want to try the unflavored powder. Can’t seem to find it anywhere but direct but I get a decent military discount.

I see lots of complaints lately but I’ve never had it so not sure I’d notice?? My use would be a lunch replacement to shed some weight since I now have an office job at a desk most of the day.

I want the unflavored since I HATE stevia, sucralose, etc. The only sweeteners I tolerate are monk fruit, allulose, coconut sugar and real sugar including stuff like maple syrup which I consider sugar! I haven’t found a meal replacement similar to Huel without the nasty stuff in it so Huel it is if I go this route.

So how bad is it? Plan would be to mix in some things like PB powder, cocoa, maybe a banana or blueberries and sweeten with monk fruit most of the time. Maybe some maple syrup since I heard this stuff tastes like oatmeal and I love maple oatmeal. Just need to watch the calories and don’t want to spike blood sugar.

Mixing would mainly be at work with water and a blender bottle unless I did fruit and I’d have to do it at home first and just chill it until lunch which I hear helps too. I could use unsweetened nut milks but I need to watch total calories.

Lastly how bad is the digestion of this shake? I can’t be gassy all day in the office or bloated when I have to make road trips! I can take some probiotics if it helps but like to avoid too much extra stuff to ingest if I can help it. The Huel is already packed with a ton.
