  • I have been drinking Huel for a long time and it's high time I shared how I feel about it! Huel has been a big part of my life and has helped me with my Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Ulcerative Colitis). I wanted to talk about the health benefits of this, how it has made figuring out diet easier, and why I think it's worth a go.

    For those who dont like the gritty texture of the Huel drink, try making Huel pancakes. Its COMPLETELY revolutionized my daily intake. 1tsp baking powder, 2 scoops Huel, cup of milk. Mix well in a bowl and cook on medium until top bubbles, then flip. Goes super well with all Huel flavours. My personal fav is coffee caramel and also the chocolate one + I add a real banana sliced up. Delicious and 3 of these a day and you're set. Insane!

      Huel contains sucralose. If you heat it over 120 °C (baking pancakes is much higher), it will create dioxins, which are highly toxic. Don't do that.

    I always wondered about the hype surrounding this over expensive protein powder. However, once I tried Huel, I understood. Skip the regular powder and go for the black edition. Also, their new pastas are great.

      @garethbaus5471 2 роки тому +1

      At least in the US you can buy 3.0 for less money per calorie then the USDA low cost food plan. It isn't that high in protein so I wouldn't necessarily use it as a protein powder unless you actually buy their overpriced protein powder. Even black addition would be a although fairly high in protein for a meal wouldn't really make the best protein powder.

    Does the bloating go away and why do I hardly need a shit? Constipation, Blockage or just not a lot of solid waste to evacuate? Also, reflux from the shakes, not so much reflux from the savoury. Is there really an adjustment period for your digestive system or is it just not for me. I've also completely lost my hunger I was expecting to be ravenous but I'm just not hungry at all. Before I started this stuff the thought of a buttered brick made me peckish.
