- This week, Huel turns 5! But the hard work started over a year before we launched.
We sat down the founders of Huel to share some of the highs and lows that made us who we are today.

Tried Huel yesterday for the first time, (salted caramel powder), and the taste was much better than what I expected. It being vegan and containing so much nutritional value makes it my fav snack when I want to fuel up and dont have too much time to cook.
Love that this feels like an organic conversation and not too scripted - just what Huel is all about. Happy Birthday and much love for changing lives like you do (I know you've turned around mine!).
You can't script these two! 😂
Really glad you folks were successfull with huel. Currently it makes up roughly 2/3 of my caloric intake 👍
We could only be successful because of our amazing community, like you! Thank you for coming along for the ride!
Same here. I'd hate to go back to a world without Huel. I can personally vouch for it's efficacy as an overall nutritional source, as I've used it as my sole source of sustenance for months at a time, and haven't had any negative effects to my overall health. If anything at all, it's the absolute healthiest and most well-balanced that my diet has ever been. Can't recommend the stuff enough.
a likable pair, always nice to know my money's going to good folk
I've just had my second Huel anniversary and want to say a massive thanks for all who make this amazing product possible!
You simply can't go wrong with getting the Vanilla, Berry, Banana, and Peanut Butter flavors. They're all amazing on their own, and they mix together even better.
Glad you're a fan!
whatever you guys do.. don't sell it. listen to "how I build this" podcast and hear what lots of other founders say.
Huel is allowing me to eat all the nutrition that I need and I've been able to lower my inflammatory reactions to processed food. So much better than "easy foods" and as good as "healthy foods" that take me a lot of time to shop for and prepare. Thank you for creating this business.
You're saving me so much time and hassle, thanks for coming up with such a great idea!
Aww thank you Ruben, it's been great to have you on the team!
Idea ? Stolen from Nutritoptm genuine from Germany, hahaha...
I am glad that Huel was successful. I had been wanting to try it for a year before I got my first few bags of Huel version 1.0 and I liked it and then a week or two later I found out that there was already Huel version 2 and then so on.
Iv had enough of being watched and followed in shops and supermarkets and being discriminated. I got to a point where I just didn't want to go into town and became depressed. I thought I'd rather starve to death from all the stress and anxiety. I didn't want to do online shopping because I would still be giving my money to these supermarkets. I started buying groceries on Amazon but it became very expensive. I started watching Joey Carbstrong on UA-cam about the suffering of animals and decided to be vegan. It was then an advert popped up about Huel as my Google settings was selected to relevant ads. I could say Huel saved my life and changed it for the better especially with these new savoury meal so thank you
Thank you for making this. I live in Japan and we only have the powders and ready made drinks. I really hope the soups and bars come eventually. I love it. I tried another product and it didn’t mesh with me and I couldn’t get soylent in Japan, so Huel popped up right before I was looking, so it was perfect. Happy trails and cheers to the future.
You're so welcome! We're glad you're excited for it 🙂 And we really hope so to!!
Honestly, thank you Huel. Was still sceptical (initially), and was combining Huel with the insanity workout for maximum results and so you could just eat 2 meals a day, yet get maximum results. Long story short, a month into the workout with Huel, I go to my doctor, and the results were in, I'm one of the healthiest people they ever examined. Wtf? When the Insanity Program was completed (yes, I beat it) I lost 35 pounds in a span of around 3 months. Holy crap.
Have you guys considered trying to partner up with Beach Body Workout? You guys have the potential to become the standard to health. Literally.
Congratulations Dan, the only person responsible for your great health is you and your hard work and dedication. Keep it up! We haven't considered this no, but will keep it in mind!
Tried Huel Madras poured it over steam veg, made it more thicker less water in the Huel mix, absolutely fantastic, put a bit of grilled fish on the side. Down from 16.5st to 15st in 17 days, only have Huel as my evening meal, and jog/walk 5miles every other day. Weetabix for breaki, Tuna mayo sani for lunch, drink plenty.. Love it.
Huel has been part of my diet for pretty much exactly 2 years now and I am very happy with it. You‘re a great team - especially loves James‘ story!
The biggest concern is that one day the company gets sold and some investor will drastically raise the price. Therefore I really hope with the current prices, you‘re all doing well and keep Huel powder the way it is: Straightforward, no frills and economical.
Thank you so much for your support! We get your worries, but look an increase in price is inevitable at some point just because things get more expensive as well as inflation. We don't know what will happen in the future but whatever happens Huel will always be serving up high quality, complete nutrition.
Huel thanks for the reply, appreciate that. Not worried about inflation or similar, sorry for being so negative 😅
@@HuelYT above all, you have to pay fees and royalties to the genuine inventor of your plagiative Products. This will lead to further increases of prices... Get prepared to this situation.
I started drinking Huel because of the packaging, but continue drinking because the formula is great and my body simply feels better.
I love Huel. You've gained a loyal customer.
We appreciate you 🤗🥰
If I was 20 years younger I'd love to work for Huel.
I have box with 2 bags i got delivered yesterday. Great service guys.
I'm pleased to see that you've been rolling out the ready-to-drink shakes to Sainsbury's, I was a bit dubious about dropping sixty-odd quid on powder if I didn't like it which kinda put me off initially. Now I've tried the shakes (and they were great btw) I was happy to commit to splashing out on a proper supply of the stuff.
Huel really helped me during quarantine. I had a supply of it for convenience meals. Quite a lot actually. I bulk ordered it. I had it a while before the pandemic hit. Well, when things started closing down and my job laid me off, that supply of huel turned out to be really nice to have.
I’m Watching this while standing in the line of a Huel product launch of the secret product... haha. Oh and both flavours are delicious!
Thank you for making a Great product! Huel has helped me with my weight loss journey!
Really inspiring to watch this, it’s funny the relationship between co-founders is like a marriage.
Its all the Huel love that spreads so easily🤩
Ur customer service is kickass guys, great job..
I really enjoy Huel and ive lost around 5 stone doing a calorie controlled diet with it but what i would say it gets really dry at the back of the throat after drinking for a while it could be a little smoother on the palate.
You guys really nailed the new Huel bars. I wish it hadnt been reduced in size to 200Kcal though. Now we just need a banana black edition!
They're so good right! We have plenty of feedback that the bars were too big at 250. Also, really satisfyingly, it now works with the rest of our products because one bar is half the calories of an RTD/powder meal, a snack!
Just ordered my first bag :)
These are my go to meals for work. I work 12 hour shifts and commute one hour each way out here in the bay. I'm too tired to cook my own food and eating out has taken a toll on my bank account. With rising fuel prices this has definitely helped offset the costs between food and fuel plus they're more nutritious than a roach coach.
Happy Birthday Huel
Thank you Luke!
superb
I've done my research, Huel rules!
I have a coworker that just told me about Huel, He told me that he did a huel diet for months (I think a year) and his results were enormous, and that was before huel Black came out. Im not vegan, I never was but now I’m extremely impressed with how far we’ve gone to developing a truly nutritious and sustainable vegan diet, and if it keeps up like this for a little bit longer, I will make a 100% switch.
Edit: I forgot to say this, DO NOT SELL THIS BRAND, big companies would do a lot to shut this down and please don’t raise the price!
Thanks for the love! ❤
I love Huel! It's such a good product and it's a good healthy substitution.
Thanks for the love, Jace! 💕🤗
Today I got my first Bag of huel and I love it
I love THAT! ❤️ 🙌 🙌 Which flavor?
@@HuelYT Chocolate and banana ^^
Great choices!!! 🍌 🍫
This was insightful, maybe consider a podcast ? 🤷🏻♂️
Its sad that it is so rare to find people that want to do good, and do it. Thanks.
Watching this as I have my natural yogurt with Huel mixed in, yummy.
Nice combo, do you mix the Huel with water first?
@@HuelYT nope, just straight into natural yogurt, that's nothing really when I make a shake
Huel 3 scoops
Banana
Frozen raspberries
Wheatgrass power
Chlorella powder
Camu camu powder
Spirulina Powder
Severn mushroom blend powder
And finally Nigella seeds
It's my super food shake mix but without the Huel it would not work, Huel is the key ingredient 👌
@@cupoftea4787 We will *have* to try this!
Hallo gentlemen my name is Mr Christopher Ansorge I have a question i will like to know can i used huel to put on weight get on weight i mean because i am locking for the right protest shakes for myself and to stay health at the same time
Who is the manufacturer that makes your product?? I'm gonna find out and get them on-board myself!
can't beat the salted caramel. Good job :oP
Holy shit i welsh american now i luv ur product even more! I just discovered ur a English company...
Really a English company , get over your welshness how old are you 10 .
Aged 48, with a BMI of 34.5, (122Kg .268lb), 6ft 2inch and 42% body fat, it's time to try something different. Just ordered my 4-week pack which should arrive in a few days. I'll update this post at some point.
How's it going
Two secret projects? Okay, you have my attention 🤣🤣
....you heard nothing.
I'm a diehard, Hueligan,
customer 4 life..
5 servings of 17g carbs (85g total) is still a bit too much for a diabetic to handle correctly since a ketogenic diet is the way to go plus the standard intermittent fasting period of 16:8 to 23:1 (OMAD)
However since measuring and weighing the Huel is easy a diabetic should be able to keep a journal for a while to match the insulin dosage and timing quite effectively
Version 3 of Huel, aka Huel Double Rainbow should have less carbs (10g per serving), more healthy fats and even more protein than before
Also, you should include super healthy polysaccharides from mushrooms like reishi, lions mane, cordyceps and others
just take supplements and herbs to control blood sugar, just a whole Lemon with 1 teaspoon of ginger should lower blood sugars pretty Good
I like the blk bags best
I recently tried huel. Def better tasting than Soylent. But a tad more expensive than Soylent
Np
I’d like to know if the top secret products were the savory Huel flavors😶
You'll never know 😶
Great products but could do with bigger value bags of savoury flavours
James we miss Muscletalk. 😢
Y'all think huel is a good name?!
I would've called it fuel
70 in age. Vegan. Looking for sustainable for survival. Want to be able to carry it and
not need to cook in case of Grid down.
Hello
hello
got a bit confused @6:01..is it vegan or not?
Huel: Human Fuel OR Hipster Gruel?
Hahaha
I love y'all, i just ordered my first batch. But I have a bit of constructive criticism. Huel rhymes with gruel. As in, stereotypical prison slop. That's what it makes me think of lol. Like i said I'm not trying to be rude, i love the mission you're on, but that's just how the name strikes me.
You'd be surprised to hear that's not the first time we've heard that 😂
I guarantee you, no one got whatever message they were trying to get across.
Why is Huel better than Soylent?
Remove artificial sweetener
What are your concerns surrounding sweeteners?
@@HuelYT Sucralose is now proven to be bad. Stevia that is a naturally accruing - but is the sweetest of all plant extract, highest in maltrodextrin and makes body react the same way sugar does when put in mouth, by triggering the same processes that metabolise it.
Does it lower testosterone?
Thats the way plagiators look like... Hen and egg thieves...
You will being punished...
Heroes are celebrating themselves... How silly is that.
Not at all, for someone smart, grown up and ambitious enough to look for lessons or inspiration when starting their own business.
This is for people that you would not be friends whith anyway 😉
Id ask how you found it, but that could start a conversation... So have a nice day 😘
@@marcinpomierski1073 they habe stolen the whole concept and idea from the German Inventor nutritoptm.
Sorry but Huel powders are just revolting.
Hi thank for making this video.
However this did not encourage me to want to buy more Huel products. I watch the UA-cam video it was all about the founders of Huel and how they were successful in making a business.
This did not fill me with confidence about the product. I thought the founders of Huel were nutritional scientist who had made a great product based on sound scientific nutritional principles. All these guys seem to be interested in was the success of the company not about the science behind the products and how good they are for you.
I have worked in the health industry for 20 years, I think Huel is a good product and probably one of the best I've seen and used.
This is not a good video to promote your company.
An interesting perspective but this video was about how the business began, so that is what they talked about. It sounds like you just wanted the subject of the video to be different? Maybe we'll do that video in the future though! It's a great idea, but doesn't mean this is a bad video! James Collier, the other guy in this video, is a nutritional scientist, they discuss this - James was the nutrition knowledge, Julian was the business knowledge.
Disagree man the video shows that they are normal people with a great product. My biggest concern before buying huel was whether it was a gimmick made by overly intense people, this video shows its just a expert nutritionist and a bussisness man same as any good company.
Ah, I found it interesting. I run my own company and help others to build theirs so I enjoyed hearing about the business side of growing this company. Just ordered some Huel so not tried the product yet but it could be a game changer for me when it comes to travelling as I have a lot of food allergies.
