Huel Black Edition Ready-to-Drink, Chocolate Meal Replacement Drink, 35g High Protein, 27 Vitamins and Minerals, Vegan, Gluten Free, Plant Based, High Fiber, Low Sugar, 16.9 Fl Oz (12 Pack)

This is a VERY delicious meal replacement option! The vanilla is smooth and delicious (not even gritty at all, despite the plant-based protein) and also works as a perfect base to add to a morning smoothie or shake. I usually enjoy it by itself however. The lids are also interesting as they open fully yet have a little bit of a "flip-top" portion that prevents it from fully coming off. After shaking the bottle the liquid may pool inside the cap which can be annoying sometimes. The 35g of protein, 6g of fiber, and numerous other included vitamins/minerals makes this a great way to ensure you are getting what your body deserves, especially on busy days! The coconut sugar added is minimal, yet adds just enough sweetness to the shake. This is also perfect for those who hate the taste of Stevia. Furthermore, this makes sense price-wise (around $4.50/bottle) as you get both the convenience and nutritional value a single bottle provides. (I believe a single bottle is around a third of most peoples' protein goals.) I've been purchasing Huel for a while now and they've never disappointed me!

Huel Black Edition Ready-to-Drink has been a total lifesaver. I love that it gives me 35g of plant-based protein along with all the vitamins and nutrients my body needs. It’s not just a protein shake—it actually keeps me full and energized. Both the Vanilla and Chocolate flavors are super smooth and taste great, with no weird aftertaste or fake sweetness. It’s perfect for days when I’m rushing around and don’t have time to cook. I also really like knowing it’s made with real ingredients and is better for the environment. Definitely a go-to for me!

As a first-time Huel Energy Drink consumer, I found Huel to be a pretty good protein drink. One aspect of the drink that stood out to me was its sweetness. While it may be perfect for those who enjoy sweeter beverages, I personally found it a bit too sweet for my taste. That being said, the sweetness did not completely overshadow the drink's benefits.

This stuff tastes terrible, my husband had a liver transplant and the Dr. said he had to drink lots of protein shakes. So I was talking to another transplanter and she said she had lost a lot of weight and tried this and it helped her get going again. well good luck to her because my husband couldn't stand it so I tried it and yuck. stick to the premier protein drinks a least they taste good.

Took awhile to arrive, but overall I’m happy with my purchase. they’re easy for a past workout meal when I’m busy, or some blended into a smoothie, or used as my milk in cereal for an extra nutrient boost

Update #2: I like the Vanilla better than the chocolate (that surprises me) and I am not getting the light shakes I was getting with the chocolate. Cocoa powder can sometimes mess with me, so I am thinking was the flavor not the shake.I think I like them. I drink maybe 1 a week because they are so pricey. It makes me wonder why I have tried ensure.... they look like the same thing. I might have to give ensure a try. I really wish these were made with Stevia. I can handle Stevia, but my stomach can handle only so much sucralose. It is sad you charge so much and yet you are basically Ensure... And why do I have to consume in 12 hours?-------------------------Update: ok the chocolate flavor and thickness is getting easier. I am still adding water to it to water it down, but it is drinkable to me.Blood sugar did ok the second time, but I had only half of it instead of the entire bottle. Jury is still out.I really wish this was made with Stevia and not sucralose :(. My stomach doesnt like fake sugars except it handles Stevia the best. So this might be a deciding factor as well.-------I was eager to get this so I am eager to review. The taste and thickness is not for the faint at heart. I found it much more tolerable drinking 1/5 of it, adding water to it, shaking it good, drink some more, add a bit more water, and then it wasn't so thick and it became more tolerable. It takes longer in the fridge to get cold than other protein shakes, so adding the cold water makes it colder if I didn't put it in the fridge early enough in the morning.I dont think it is too much liquid. I am not surprised it is thick. 400 calories is a lot to cram in a 16.9 ounce bottle! Not to mention all the nutrients. So for those who think this should be less liquid, remember, this is 400 calories. I am impressed they got it down to 16.9 ounces.I got the chocolate. It is not like other chocolate protein shakes but I didn't mind it.I have to try again, but the first time I had it I think it messed with my blood sugar! I am SHOCKED. I was shaky the entire day. The shake was the only change to my routine. I'm nervous to try it again, but I will give it one more try and then I will update this review. I am going to be SOOO bummed if this messes with my blood sugar. No other protein shake messes with my blood sugar. I realize it is a meal shake, but I didn't think this would mess with my blood sugar.

Flavor-wise, it’s subtly sweet with a hint of oat—great for meal replacement or post-workout fuel. Some find the texture thick or slightly chalky in the powder form, but blending helps. Overall, it’s a solid choice for clean, complete nutrition on the go!

I wanted to like this so bad. Another review said it tasted like chalk, and I wondered how that was possible but it REALLY DOES taste like chalk. And the texture is rough. The consistency is somewhere between whole milk and a milkshake but its… slimy? I don’t know. It’s bad. I’m not gonna waste them so I just chug it (as much as I can with the weird texture) and hold my breath until I’ve washed it down thoroughly. It gets 2 stars because it’s vegan and definitely a good meal supplement, I drink it in the morning and I’ve noticed my energy improving. These things aren’t really supposed to taste good I guess, but this one is very BAD
