Hello! I’m looking at getting back on the Huel wagon after a break. Huel Black seems like it would work better for me (I tend to feel fuller with high protein/fat and fewer carbs) but I’m a bit worried that the pea protein flavour will dominate?

I found the original Huel Vanilla to be delicious, and didn’t pick up any pea protein test, but when i tried U/U I literally couldn’t stomach it. Is the pea protein flavour more pronounced in the Black?

One bad thing about Huel - it’s an expensive (and bulky!) mistake to make if you end up with a flavour you hate!

Hey @Hels,  
Glad you are trying to hop back on the Huel train!  
Huel Black has an excellent flavor profile and I don’t find that I taste the pea protein whatsoever! If for any reason you find that you do not enjoy Huel Black you should drop an email to our team at [support@huel.com](mailto:support@huel.com).

Black Edition is gluten-free; and just as expensive as gluten-free regular Huel - with added benefits like EGCG. It is also smoother, which is important if you don’t have a mixer.
