In reply to lee birtwistle:
I've been using it for my lunches this year and it's been a pretty positive experience. I was quite sceptical about it at first, I love food and cooking and especially eating and the whole thing seemed like a bit of a shit way to eat but it's worked for me and I'm happy to put my effort into eating a nice evening meal during the week and chug the huel during the day - it tastes ok normally and really nice if you flavour it. If you have the choice between a tasty healthy meal and a bottle of huel of course the former wins out in terms of enjoyment but most people use it to supplement their diet when they don't have the time to make/eat something healthy.
If you're looking for a boost in your calories to make up for the extra training you're doing then it's worth giving it a go, it's a pretty easy way to add some balanced extra food into your diet. Realistically you can make it up with 2 to 5 scoops depending on your preference, 2 is very thin, 5 is very thick. It's about 150 calories a scoop. You can flavour it with their flavours or with something of your own if you don't like the taste, a scoop of cocoa powder and it just tastes like chocolate milk shake.
Neil - If you get up for work early in the morning, get back late at night and then have to go out and do exercise then making a healthy and calorie rich lunch the night before means either spending a lot of money buying healthy premade stuff, a lot of time preparing food or just eating cheap crap. Any option is fine if that's what you want. If you want your lunch to provide you with, for example, 1500 calories of good quality, ethically sourced food then a 2 minute sandwich can very quickly turn into a lot of shopping and making lunches - fresh fruit, veg, protein sourced from fish, chicken, eggs etc. consumed regularly throughout the day. All needs buying, keeping, preparing before you even get to the stage of finding 2 minutes to throw it all down your throat. Huel is quick, cheap and provides as many or as few calories as you need, balanced, minimal packaging, zero fuss, no shopping. It's effortless and I don't see any reason why someone who consumes Huel should have to seriously look at their life any more than someone who sits down to have a sandwich/crisps/fruit/choccie bar combo for their lunch. Each to their own. As for garbage, what an odd thing to say. Do you even know what's in it? I take it you have tasted it so you know what it tastes like?
