First impressions: Lovely!

 

Tastes oaty with a nice vanilla flavouring. A bit like a Kinder Bueno if anyone in the UK knows what that's like :)

Had a little bit tonight as a taster - yep I was surprised by how nice it was, I thought it was a bit like porridge with a small hint of vanilla.

 

I'll try and give this a go for the rest of the week as a lunch replacement and see how I get on.

Hey there. 

 

Sorry for dropping in, but I work for Huel and noticed this thread a while back because I'm something of a weird guy, so just thought I'd pop in and say if anyone has any questions about Huel I'll be happy to answer.

 

Kind Regards,

Gulliver

Yeah, what group discounts can you get members of Neowin for consistently promoting your product? :laugh:

 

Just kidding, thanks for joining and I'll be sure to ask if I have any questions or issues!

Same, I have just ordered a 56 meal pack and got my delivery confirmation.

 I don't own a blender, and didn't want to buy one for a cheap experiment, so I went the manual route: a glass and a spoon. Hint: don't go the manual route. 

 

My first impression was that it tasted like pancake mix, which wasn't pleasant. But the more I drank, the better it got. By the end of it, I wasn't completely disgusted, but it definitely wasn't competing to be the best meal I've ever had. Not appetizing per se, but also not puke worthy.

p.s. i avoid all processed foods. 

 

p.s. 2. "contains gluten" = a big no-no.

I tried ordering the bundle for a friend at work, which is probably why. 

I just received this bag from Amazon to carry my Huel in:

It is thermal protected, so it keeps it cold until lunch time, and can just be popped over my shoulder to carry. :)

 

For anyone else who might want one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0091HCL3M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@Jack W how do you like Huel?

It takes a bit of getting used too. I can't stand it when it is vanilla or plain, I have to put a flavouring in, but apart from that, it is good. It keeps me full until the end of the work day. :)

I think it's going to take a bit of will power to keep this going for a week or so until I get used to it. My head just can't get around not eating something, I kinda miss chewing :p

 

I don't mind the vanilla flavour at all, I ordered Chocolate and Mocha Flavourings with my order but stupidly only ordered two bags of the Vanilla instead of half and half so that should be an interesting combination.

What I do with milkshakes is spice em up with honey, maybe that helps with the flavour? 

I spice my morning shake up with Captain Morgan's, but then some people say I have a problem

Ah, good choice.

 

I think people who say you have a problem, feel like you are not sharing ?

Remind me of a character from a book who had a very unhealthy relationship with Captain Morgan :D

    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
