We’ve become accustomed to choosing taste over what will best fuel our bodies, and Huel is trying to redress that balance to encourage us to prioritise nutrition instead. While that’s all well and good, Huel also knows that sometimes cooking up a meal that will satisfy all of our nutritional needs in one requires time, energy, and some serious skill, so they’ve made it as easy as can be! Every single serving of Huel contains the perfect balance of 26 essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, essential fats, carbs, fibre, and phytonutrients that your body needs. And while Huel is all about nutrition first that doesn t mean it s not tasty BuzzFeed / Jacob Stead With over 150 million meals already sold, you know it's got to be delicious. All of the Powders are available in a whole host of flavours like banana (yum), salted caramel (double yum), and coffee caramel (yaaaaasss!). Not to mention, there are four other ways you can consume Huel too, should you want variety that's equally delicious! From the Huel Black Edition Formula to the Hot & Savoury range and Ready-to-Drink mixes and bars, there's a whole variety of products and flavours your taste buds can explore. And with food waste and unsustainable food production methods becoming more and more of an issue Huel has committed to being kind not only to our bodies but also to our planet too BuzzFeed / Jacob Stead Huel only uses plant-based sustainable ingredients like oats, peas, rice, and flaxseeds. It is 100% vegan, GMO-free, lactose-free, and most of the products are gluten-free too! And it can help you to reduce food waste. Huel has a long shelf life so you won’t be chucking away as many soggy salad bags. Plus, Huel endeavours to reuse the byproducts of raw materials from production to reduce waste in the supply chain too! Glorious. If you find yourself too busy sometimes to properly prep food Huel is the ultimate time-saver because it takes almost no time to prepare BuzzFeed / Jacob Stead It’s literally a case of popping water into a shaker bottle, adding your powder, shaking it up, and you’re off! So if you ever feel like you have those days when time is running away from you, Huel is there to help you get a nutritionally balanced meal in under a minute. It’s also become a favourite for people who want to fuel themselves on the go or want to reclaim their lunch break. So instead of spending the obligatory five minutes staring into the depths of your fridge wondering what you can make from the scant ingredients you have available, you can just mix up some Huel and head out the door! It's basically the most convenient way to complete nutrition. So why do people choose Huel Honestly there are lots of different reasons BuzzFeed / Jacob Stead First off, just like any good cultural movement, people who use Huel have their very own name: Hueligans. And there are many different reasons to become a Hueligan: Maybe you’re looking to cut down your morning routine or you want to ditch your staple meal deal for something that you know is going to give you the nutrients you need. Perhaps you’re trying to eat more ethically or need to ace portion control; whatever your goal is, there is probably a Huel product for you. For instance, the newest product in the range, the Huel Black Edition Formula is perfect for people who are looking for a low-carb option while also increasing their protein intake. As well as containing those all-important 26 nutrients, it is configured to have a 17:40:40:3 ratio Macro Split, which means that just 17% of the energy comes from carbs, while 40% comes from fat, another 40% from protein, and 3% from fibre. And who says healthy eating has to be expensive? Huel helps keep money in your pockets with each meal costing from only £1.47. But how do you start However you want because adding Huel into your diet needs to work for *you* BuzzFeed / Jacob Stead Whether you use it five times a week or just have a bag of Huel in your cupboard for whenever you need it, it’s completely up to you! Most Hueligans swap it in at breakfast and lunchtime during the week, and then opt for more "traditional" meals in the evenings and on weekends. If you’re interested but aren't sure whether the Powders are for you or want to ease yourself in, the Hot & Savoury range might be the best route for you. Prepared with hot water in just five minutes, they come in a range of yummy, savoury flavours like Thai Green Curry, Madras, and Mexican Chilli. These vegan meals are packed with rice, quinoa, vegetables, herbs, and spices, as well as the all-important 26 minerals and vitamins!
