I have been using Soylent for about two years and recently ordered two bags of vanilla Huel because I was looking for something that wasn’t mainly soy based and super high in sugar. My initial experience was pretty awful. I hated the flavor and though – like many others I’ve seen on here – that it tasted a bit like unbaked bread. However, once I started mixing it the night before and drinking it while it’s cold I almost immediately changed my mind. I realize this sounds cheesy and almost fake, but I noticed a definite difference in my energy levels drinking Huel versus the other stuff. Huel also seems much more filling to me. I’m still not a huge fan of the flavor on its own, but I can drink it. Plus, mixing stuff (peanut butter, cocoa powder, fruit, etc…) makes it something close to enjoyable. I ordered the chocolate flavor powder a few weeks after getting my initial order, and I’m hoping that works well, but in the meantime I’ve started mixing a little bit of the leftover cocoa Soylent I have laying around into my Huel in the morning. I usually do about a scoop and a half of Huel and a half scoop or so of Soylent. This mix is delicious and tastes like a milkshake. I’m not planning on continuing this with regularity once I get the flavoring, but just thought I’d post here to let anyone with bags and bags of old Soylent laying around know my experience.

Thanks for sharing! The beauty of Huel is all the different ways you can make it. I personally love it on its own but hey, mixing Huel and Soylent together is definitely an interesting combination!
