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!

Hey Gulliver! Thanks for popping by, and answering my endless feedback over on the Huel forums. :p

When did you order?

 

I ordered a 28 meal pack earlier today and I've had the email to say it's on the way.

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

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Forget the iPhone. What about Android? Most Samsung Galaxy phones sold in the USA are manufactured in Vietnam. Asian countries have the infrastructure that the USA doesn't have. This is why most electronics are not made in the USA
    • The RAM would still probably be more expensive than what they were paying last year.
