Huel Powder Product Review  

Huel (human fuel) is a plant-based, sustainable, vegan protein powder designed to be a nutritionally complete food source.  

Fast, reliable, natural, and healthy, Huel is gaining popularity in the health and food world. And it’s easy to see why: the powder contains a balance of protein, carbs, essential fats, fiber, plus includes all 27 essential vitamins and minerals all while being made without soy, GMOs, or palm oil. Huel is a protein powder powerhouse.  

Huel Nutrition and Ingredient Info  

There are a lot of great reasons to love Huel. As you can see from the image below, Huel has a low sugar and cholesterol count while also being high in fiber and protein. 

You may also notice Huel is high in calories and protein, which could be good or bad depending on what you’re using Huel for. If you’re trying to gain weight, Huel could be an excellent addition to your meal plan. However, if you’re trying to lose weight, Huel may not be the best fit.  

Flavor  

Huel has a mild, sweet taste. As a result, it acts as a great base so you can customize it with any flavor you want. From cinnamon, to coffee, to peanut butter, to fruit, this shake’s mild, unassuming base allows a multitude of flavors to blend well to let you craft whatever flavored protein shake you want.  

Huel does have a thick, gritty texture to it, which can turn some people off. While this can be easily remedied by thinning it out with milk or water, some customers report having trouble adapting to its grainy texture no matter how much milk is added.  

Price 

The product itself costs around $70.00 per bag. However, given the amount of powder per bag, Huel averages out to around $1.51 per meal. Compared to other protein shakes on the market, this is a pretty comparable product although it is a heavy investment up front.  

Why Customers Love It  

The customizable nature of this shake makes it popular since you’re not locked in with one flavor. The fact that it also packs in so many essential vitamins and nutrients into one serving is also a big factor as to why people love this product. Huel is also popular because of its convenience and is therefore a big hit for busy individuals who are always on the go.

Common Problems 

Due to the high amount of fiber, some people report suffering from digestive issues after trying Huel powder. If you have a sensitive stomach and are prone to digestive issues, you may want to avoid this protein shake.  

While their ingredient list mentions that Huel doesn’t contain any controversial ingredients, Huel powder does contain a high lead count. By consuming 2000 or more calories per day of Huel, you’ll be consuming four times the amount of FDA guidelines for lead consumption. Rest assured, all plant-based products typically contain lead as there’s a high lead count in topsoil. However, consuming an excess amount of Huel may lead to an over consumption of lead.  

Conclusion  

Huel is a nutritionally rich, convenient, all-natural protein powder. Its mild flavor makes this powder a great base that you can customize with whatever flavor you choose. For people looking to purchase protein shakes that will help them lose weight, this may not be the product for you due to its high caloric intake. Also, due to the heavy amount of fiber, if you are prone to digestive issues you may want to steer clear as this may give you unwanted stomach issues.
