My overdue conclusion on the trilogy of food substitutions! I had this Huel (Hu<\/strong>man Fuel<\/strong>)\u00a0stuff so long again, I had to start over to remember what it was like.<\/span><\/p>\n Unlike Soylent or “Slimfast,” Huel comes in a powder that you mix with cold water (I don’t recommend it) or other stuff. It’s mostly made up of oats (40%), rice protein, pea protein, sunflower, flaxseed, coconut MCTs (translation, a combination of coconut oil and palm oil; they allegedly don’t work well solo, so they’re combined), plus a vitamin and mineral blend. A standard amount is four ounces (or 127 grams) mixed into a liquid with a 1:5 ratio respectively. It smells like cake mix.<\/span><\/p>\n By itself and made according to the directions on the bag, it tastes like watered-down Malt-o-Meal. The biggest problem is getting it to dissolve. As of this writing, I’m continue to run into clumps on the bottom of my cup or swallowing some while drinking.<\/span><\/p>\n With fruit smoothie in a bottle? The smoothie stuff overpowers whatever taste Huel has. Clumping remains a problem.<\/span><\/p>\n With Starbucks? Same result as the smoothie stuff. Starbucks takes over in the flavor department but clumps take effort to remove.<\/span><\/p>\n Somara gave me a small hand mixer she didn’t want anymore. Still couldn’t get the Huel to dissolve adequately.<\/span><\/p>\n My opinion of it? I like it better than Soylent but starting Sunday, my\u00a0Future of Food<\/em> stories will move to the next step. How does it go when I substitute Soylent or Huel for regular meals over a week.<\/span><\/p>\n Huel runs about $66 for two big bags of the mixture. They also throw in a shake-cup and a T-Shirt with the logo.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My overdue conclusion on the trilogy of food substitutions!
