The Huel Ecosystem: A Normal Person's Overview

[@Quebber]

Huel has been a life saver for me, After bowel cancer in 2018 and 40% of my colon removed, food was a challenge it caused so many issues over the last 3 years, I've been on Huel for 10 days now and for the first time I can sleep through the night, and eat balanced.

[@lexloose2112]

same boat here, lost a lot of bowels and huel been a lifesaver. keep strong and fighting.

[@leannadavies7440]

❤ I am glad it's helping you ❤ i don't have gut problems but it really helped me hang in there I'm trying to convince my family to try huel 💕

[@SputnikDucknik]

Just want to say thanks for this "Round Up" type video. Its actually really helpful and nice hearing your more generalized opinion of the product after having tried its various forms throughout several years. I have been bombarded with Huel ads on YT for awhile now, and eventually... they got to me and I looked into the product purely out of curiosity. You were the only person that I could easily find that took a grounded, and REAL approach to their review of the product. I don't want some sexy money grubbing influencer yelling at me about HOW AMAZING AND LIFE CHANGING Huel is (not that you aren't sexy; you pull off the smooth-top-bearded look nicely), I want a proper review of this food/drink done in a realistic and relatable fashion, and you have delivered. Thanks again!

[@LittleTipple]

You're so welcome, and thank you so much for the kind compliments! glad I could help, and not fall into the "influencer" trap!

[@Dave-cg9li]

I love that for a student, it's an affordable way of eating while knowing I'm not giving up on nutritions - it's far better than most other quick foods. And I personally really like the flavour of the shakes, but yeah, especially for people like me, it's very annoying that there's no sample pack so I could try it before I buy the full bag. The supermarkets near me only sell the basic flavours of the bottles and I don't feel like buying two "variety boxes" of bottles for £72 just to know if I'd like some specific flavour 🙃

[@patrykzukowski7471]

Am I the only one who actually looks forward to their next Huel? :P I started with Vanilla and I simply love the taste.

[@maryshellsmith6627]

I love Huel, also! 💕

[@petercornwell5880]

Me too.

[@leannadavies7440]

Me to i felt out of sorts and it helped i have to the berry one as well

[@raigne86]

Your Huel videos have been immensely useful to me. I was just diagnosed with celiac and looking for gluten free alternatives to the mug shot noodles I used to eat for a quick lunch a lot. Huel seemed like it might be one of the better priced options for this specific case, and I have tried and am satisfied with what they are for the purpose I wanted them to serve. I am considering trying some of the shakes, but I'm not quite sure yet where those would fit into my diet, so need to think about it some more.

[@konradhunter1407]

I’m thinking of doing Huel ‘recipes’. The other day I added cheese chunks to Mexican chili huel and ate it with tortilla chips. Big and easy upgrade compared to just huel. Tomorrow I will add a scoop of chocolate powder huel into my oats and see what happens.

[@lordcharfield]

Excellent introduction to Huel, many thanks. I’ve subscribed today and looking forward to using it as a means to lose weight. The money I otherwise spend on take aways, alcohol and eating out should take care of the initial layout of £123.50 (Bestseller Bundle plus 3 x Hot and savoury meals). I was able to get £5 off with an online code, but agree that the lack of ability to have a proper sample pack is potentially very wasteful and notice that there are many people on EBay selling their unwanted purchases. I purchased directly from Huel as there’s every chance that some could potentially be selling counterfeit products. I’ve subscribed to your channel too 👍

[@larserikbruun]

For me huel is better and easier because I would have a burger or pizza or something else bad for lunch so I’m using it to eat healthier and less and I am losing a little bit of weight so far and so far I am happy with it and I live in Denmark 🇩🇰 and the only way to get it here is to order it online what I know about and 2 bags of huel 3.0 white bag and 3 bags of hot and savory is 1150 danish crowns so about 130 British pounds for one month but I would use more money on pizza and other stuff if I didn’t buy huel

[@LittleTipple]

That is precisely my thought - it may not be perfect, and i know some people have concerns about it, but frankly, it has to be better than over eating/ eating the wrong things! Glad it's going well for you.

[@CADsforcoming]

What are the concerns with it, only ask as I ordered some earlier today. I’m hoping to use it for morning and lunch and eat my normal meal in the evening.

[@ThaiLitzki]

​@N P What people are concerned about is that this isn't "traditional" food. I tend to agree on both sides. I'd rather eat egg n bacon and veggies etc etc, for breakfast and a cooked homemade meal for lunch. But I understand the convenience and practicality with hot n savoury. For those who over eat or eat the wrong things. Everyone has time and CAN cook a easy healthy meal, but this work if you just CAN'T do it.

[@rorus9530]

I'm the same. Its just so convenient and easy to limit your calories with Huel.

[@0Iceman228]

In my eyes the biggest difference when it comes to White or Black Powder, Black uses Stevia and White Sucralose as sweetener. I found the taste difference is quite big, especially chocolate tastes completely different. I personally prefer the white version when it comes to texture and taste.

[@Martin_Edmondson]

Thanks for the information! Very helpful. I have started on the white powder and mix it with milk, and am liking it so far. I wouldn't say it is delicious, but certainly not bad..kinda grows on you. (Salted Caramel) Sadly there are fewer variations available in my country and some of the tastes are different (less fibre for some reason) but hopefully they will expand in the near future. The best thing is that you know exactly what it is you are eating, and it is quick and easy to make. Can't go too wrong with it.

[@jamesmarshall9742]

Thank you for your review of the Huel products... my favorite part of this video was your review of the Huel bars! :D

[@techfin6145]

For me I’ve just took the plunge on 3 bags of hot and savoury, having tried the madras and the Mac and cheeze I definitely think the pasta adds a lot even if you can never get it to cook 100%, will be ordering bags of white professional, if you have an affiliate code or something let me know and I’ll use it 👍🏼

[@LittleTipple]

I did have, but they don't seem keen to let people use it any more - If you have a look at one of my early huel videos it's got all the details, please feel free to try it, and I'm sorry if it doesn't work...

[@chadhalonen9406]

Finally a guy who gets it. I don’t want this to be my only food source.

[@pipskips]

I tried Huel years ago and honestly thought it tasted like sweet dirt. Both vanilla and chocolate were just depressing. I’d like to retry the brand and hoping the new flavours will hide that taste. Thanks for your review this really helped me make an informed decision 😊

[@10byrdie]

I have ADHD and meal planning is overwhelming so I won’t eat. I also take stimulants and have no appetite at lunch so it helps me eat.

[@Billmaster115]

A scoop or two of vanilla with a spoonful or two with honey is perfect for me. It's not too grainy the thinner it is. I have one scoop in the morning for breakfast. The second scoop is a separate meal with a salad I get at work.

[@leannadavies7440]

I use huel because I at times I feel out of sorts I also struggle to eat breakfast I tried some huel and felt better 🎉

[@lifelessfoil3484]

I have watched a few of your huel reviews and you have done an amazing job. I did get some and tried it. I really enjoy it. I have a bottle of the powder in the morning then a little lunch and then a big dinner.

[@Wendye612]

Thank you! This is very helpful. I’m in a situation where I need to gain weight so being able to add extra calories to make it taste better will work perfectly for me.

[@dancingman1983]

so far its working out for me but do agree the large potions make it difficult to try all the flavours

[@N0-Name-]

I want to congratulate you on your product analysis series of this and other brands, it helped me a lot with the choice. By the way, have you ever tried foodspring? Maybe it's not in UK but I would be surprised.

[@FaolanHart]

I've found the ready made drinks absolutely ideal for breakfast. It gives me more time for chores & walking the dogs in the morning. Which overall saves me more time than you'd think. On top of that using them for breakfast & occasionally one of the bars for lunch has helped me lose a bit of weight, I have less desire to snack & my energy levels have improved. I'm pleasantly very surprised. I honestly thought it was one of those internet fad things that turn out kinda crap. I would say though avoid the raspberry black bar. None of the black bars are particularly nice but that one is like eating soap.

[@dylanthedyslexicvillain4294]

Great video I’ve just recently got into Huel I bought the hot and savoury I tried the premade drinks in the supermarkets and really like them I must say the hot and savoury impress me a lot I bought the Mac and cheese Thai green curry chicken and mushroom and Bolognese the Bolognese is really really good impress me greatly And I really did look forward to having it you’re right though the expense is the biggest problem but I think it will be part of my life in some structure love your videos thanks for making them

[@derekblanejr]

Such a great review 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@flatheadfletch]

The V3.0 looks like a great fuel source for bike packing. I may break down and try it. Still researching.

[@pedalsforapurpose]

Thanks for the information,

[@aliceeleonor2911]

Amazing video. Gave me all the information I needed :)

[@kevinhughes9801]

Excellent breakdown thanks

[@stormy3898]

Sir. God Bless You. 🙏

[@egigstertroll3521]

as a supplement sounds good to me, add it to make sure you get the nutrients rather than replace?

[@3lmodfz]

I'm preparing to make an order of Huel when payday comes around. I'm tempted to get both the black and white gluten free versions so mix and match across the month. I currently use a vegan protein powder in my porridge each morning, so I'm pretty used to weird texture and taste lol. I have tried the ready-made drinks, and they were OK, the chocolate one had a slightly odd, waxy texture which the berry one didn't. I really wish they would make the pasta in the hot & savoury gluten free too...that's a massive oversight to the product.

[@samjam898]

How healthy is it? Other than carbs and protein I heard it contains vitamins?

[@dancingman1983]

Thanks for the £10 off I have just ordered the best seller bundle

[@stormy3898]

May I ask, what is the texture of the Huel Protein like? I use per4m whey currently which is like silk but I would like to switch to plant based. I am a little scared however has optimum nutrition's vegan protein was very gritty.

[@user-tx5vr2lu6e]

not about huel protein but in general I found that in terms of vegan proteins, soy was a lot lot smoother than pea.

[@Msemptymind12]

Nice video, agree on most points. But concerning the complete nutrition bars I have to disagree. I totally love them and I do eat them for pleasure :)

[@cheesepuddin1266]

you should try the chicken penne one.

[@ConorPorter]

I know you wanted the credibility, but I would have been happy to use your Huel code for my subscription.

[@CraftyWitch1990]

Just had my first delivery of black and about to try my first one. Little bit scared if I'm honest, heard they're pretty gross but I've gotta do something. Not sure which is better to go for the black or the white as they both have same ingredients and similar protein levels which will hopefully help me feel full without reaching for snacks and junk food. Any and all opinions welcome on which is the better one to go for please

[@aig9672]

Difference is sugar vs stevia the black tastes better

[@rorus9530]

How did you get on? I've been eating Huel for about 6 weeks now. 2 shakes and a hot and savoury in the evening. Lost about 6 kilos.

[@maryshellsmith6627]

I am totally a lazy person who hates to cook, and I LOVE Huel!

[@NicksStuff]

It's inexpensive per meal *but* you need to have 5 to 8 meals a day!

[@AsleepOnTheRiverside]

Just tried Huel powder. I took the flavors salted caramel and coffee. They suck. And I mean a lot. I even tried drinking the salted caramel one plugging my nose but still disgusting. The coffee powder was probably made by someone who has never drank coffee in his life. I'd like to meet the tasting guy from Huel to see what he looks like.

[@0x00ff00]

Hey Nightingale, I have Huel phases every now and then when I get annoyed with cooking and preparing meals. I always order the plain powder (Black) because all the other flavors taste too sweet and loaded with sweeteners. It has happened to me a couple of times that the delivery got mixed up. Once, I received Coffee and another time Salted Caramel. I didn't like them, so I mixed them with the Plain powder and used them up. For Coffee, I can just mix instant coffee and sweetener with it. I like Plain because I can vary it: 1-1/2 banana + cocoa, cocoa + tbsp peanut butter, instant coffee. You can also use it to bake muffins or cookies.

[@rorus9530]

Have you tried putting it in the fridge for a while? Makes it thicker and seems to enhance the flavour.

[@benjaminstiles523]

👍

[@gmotionedc5412]

What’s better for weight loss?

[@5thkiechannel]

Ka chava

[@jgzk]

The professional version literally is just the white version tested on drugs and steroids so athletes do not get in trouble for any residues of illegal substances which might be in the non professional powder.

[@dwk6071]

Just a thought, there are a lot of popular channels which focus on beard maintenance and grooming. Perhaps it’s not your thing but I’m sure it would prove popular for you

[@LittleTipple]

HA! watching the video back made me realise I needed a serious trim and a tidy up - was not looking its best! That's definitely a thought though - will think about it!

[@dwk6071]

It wasn’t a dig, I have beard envy! I just bought the Brio Beardscape and it was KZbin reviews that influenced my purchase. I’m always on the lookout for decent products and your honest opinion on these would be welcomed

[@LittleTipple]

Don't you worry - I didn't think it was a dig, it just amused me that there's you complimenting me, when all i saw was problems - I find it fascinating how we all see ourselves, compared with how others see us. Are there any products in particular you'd like to know about?

[@dwk6071]

Vids on trimming and maintenance are popular, check out Greg Boswell. And trimmer reviews as well as beard oil, butters etc. It’s endless!

[@flatheadfletch]

No body gives a rats ass about your immature bs opinion !

[@andrews0208]

@littletpple why at 18:59 are you giving out faulsr information there is no minimum number bags you to order you can just order 1 if you wish

[@neonMETEOR]

It used to be the case
