Does not meet the requirements for a meal replacement.I think I might try Huel. Cheaper and seems to have better nutritional value than Soylent. Do you have to mix it yourself ? Can I just mix it with water? How's the taste? Is there enough solute in a serving so it doesn't taste like just slightly flavored water?

Honest question. What is the difference between this and a shake with a scoop and a half of unflavored whey, a scoop of powdered oats, a scoop of nutrigreens and some cocoa with a multivitamin pill right after?
I just ordered some unflavored Huel since it looks like a lower carb, slightly higher quality version of Soylent. I finally realized that dinner is probably my shittiest meal of the day, so that's probably where a replacement will have the biggest impact.There's been threads in the past on here, but having a single OT would be nice for this stuff. I'm currently using Huel as a dinner replacement and it's not bad if you get the Vanilla version. The unsweetened variety tho has one of the most disgusting flavors I've encountered and I was only able to drink it down by mixing it with unsweetened chocolate almond milk.
I gave away my unflavored Huel because I couldn't stand the extra gritty texture and the taste... honestly not sure how to describe it other than 'seriously awful'. I use a proper blender too, so I don't even want to imagine what the texture is like if you just shake it.Have you tried unflavored Soylent before? I actually like the taste of that, so if Huel is in the same ballpark, I'm hoping the unflavored taste will be fine. Otherwise, I figure I'll start out trying to flavor it with Mio but might have to explore other zero/low calorie options if that doesn't do it.

This has been formulated to meet dietary needs without having excess sugar, along with having a very predictable calorie amount. Sure you can try and mix together your own, but it's not likely to fill every need unless you are consulting with a nutritionist.Honest question.

Q: What about the enjoyment, taste, and social aspect of eating food?
A: Just bring a bottle of soylent to the restaurant, you piece of shit! You can keep your "i'll stick with real food" hot takes out of the thread, no one cares. I like real food too, but this thread isn't about how nutritious and cheap your gross salad is.
Oh man BURN!
I'm considering Soylent as a breakfast replacement.
So, clearly I'm new and know literally nothing about it.
No, haven't tried any variant if Soylent even though people rave about it. I'm familiar with the taste of the vanilla Huel though as it tastes similar to a less sweet quest bar. The liquid is about the right thickness too. I just didn't like the unsweetened variety.I just ordered some unflavored Huel since it looks like a lower carb, slightly higher quality version of Soylent.

What is the nutritional value of this kind of product? We don't have this brand here in Spain.

Is Ample available there? It's pretty low carb.Any good Soylent alternatives in Canada yet?
Particularly low carb? Why the fuck are protein shakes always so filled with sugar, sigh... Do they not understand that their target audience is adults?
Huh well that went fast. I couldn't get the $25 priceHeads up strawberry and cacao are currently on lightning deal for $25 for 12 pack. Ordered 1 of each.

That looks like it doesn't come close to matching micronutrients of soylent. That's more like a protein shake.
There 400 calories per bottle, so you have as many as you need to meet your daily caloric needs.How many can I use a day if I'm hungry?
Would 1 a day be too little?
Would just eating it for breakfast be fine?
What's the price?
Is this in a price range that could be given to the starving,
or is it currently just a 1st world thing?
Sorry for so many questions, but seems there's a bunch of people that know the product here.

I'm guzzling a ton of Huel while I'm trying to lose weight. I say trying, I'm actually succeeding beyond my expectations. 1500 cal daily, mostly Huel.Got my first Huel UK delivery on Saturday and started propperly today.
I had one shake (vanilla) for lunch on Saturday and one with a teaspoon of powdered coffee for breakfast yesterday.
Today is the real test, same for breakfast today, and I have a berry one on the fridge for lunch at work.
Any top tips or flavour ideas? I got some of the flavour tester samples bu have not used any yet.
I am monitoring my cal intake via the my fitness pal app and want to hit under 1800 a day ideally.
Thanks for the info.I'm guzzling a ton of Huel while I'm trying to lose weight. I say trying, I'm actually succeeding beyond my expectations. 1500 cal daily, mostly Huel.
I make shakes with 4 scoops in a full shaker. It's the perfect consistency for me, and it's 600 calories. I have a couple of those each day. I also got the Huel granola which is nice when I fancy something to chew on. I have that with Oatly instead of cows' milk because I thought, if I'm already 90% vegan, I might as well go all the way and gain the aura of smugness. I always put it in the fridge for a few hours, which seems to make it smoother.
With Berry Huel you might find it doesn't mix properly if you just shake. The other flavours mix way better. Not sure what's in the Berry flavour to make it more lumpy, but if you have a blender ball throw that in and it'll mix better.
I think all the flavours are too sweet. Next time I order I'm gonna get a couple of bags of unsweetened and mix it 50/50 with the flavoured stuff. I've tried the bars and they're nice, but way too expensive for me.
I got both the powder and a few ready bottles of Mana 4. Personally didn't like it at all compared to Huel. They've chamnged their recipe yet again, with version 5 now I think? The constant recipe tinkering is a bit sketchy.
