Hi, any update on the new v3.1 powder? This information is important to me. I’m particularly interested in the Berry, Coffee/Salted Caramel, and Original flavors. Thank you!
My only guess is that the black edition and the chocolate flavor will have high oxalate, but I have no idea about others.
Hi Did you ever find out the oxalate content of the RTD drinks? I’m a little suprised to see almost no information being provided by the official Huel team.
Thank you for your patience here! We have tested the RTD v1.0 vanilla and RTD v2.0 Cinnamon Roll, both came back as below the level of detection.
Another calcium oxalate kidney stone person here. My first, 7 mm, lodged in north pole of left kidney, was removed by laser lithotripsy after 2 tries, followed by a raging kidney infection. At 72 years of age without ever having a kidney stone before, I took a hard look at my diet over the past year and the only significant change was KaChava. Do you have any info about how Huel and KaChava compare, strictly regarding oxalate content? 2025-08-09T07:00:00Z
Hi Kari! Welcome to the Huel US Forum! Unfortunately, we do not have any info on Ka’chava’s oxalate levels, and also don’t have updated testing in regards to oxalate levels for Huel. Apologies!
Hi Hector. I buy mostly the original Huel and the Huel Essentials powder, unflavored or vanilla, with occasional berry. Huel Essentials doesn’t come unflavored. I buy big bottles of pure lemon juice from Costco and add an ounce or so of it to the water I pour into the blender. Unsweetened lemon juice added to vanilla or berry Huel actually tastes pretty good because the sweetness of the powder balances out the sourness of the lemon juice. For unflavored I either just take it sour or add a bit of stevia extract (the plastic jar of powder from Trader Joe’s).
I tried the lemon juice with the chocolate Huel, and it was…. interesting. Not bad actually, just kind of a weird flavor combination.
In addition to the lemon juice, whenever I drink Huel I take a calcium citrate supplement, the idea being the calcium binds to the oxalate and citrate is similar to what’s in lemon juice.
I don’t live on Huel, but I do consume a lot of lemon juice, at least a quarter cup per day. My urologist says whatever I’m doing seems to be working.
@Maddie_Huel - How is it possible that ready-to-drink products test “below the level of detection” when it contains brown rice flour, which has about 42 mg of oxalate per 100 g? As I suggested years ago in this thread, a lab that claims oxalate is below the measurement threshold is telling you that because they don’t know how to measure it, and you should find a different lab. That was initial claim about the powder too, and it turned out to be false after re-testing, as described by @Dan_Huel in his August 2021 post above. I suspect the same situation applies to the RTD products. Any product containing brown rice flour should have a detectable level of oxalate.
Hey there!
So sorry, Maddie is longer working at Huel and our other nutritionist has a lot on their plate at the moment. I’ve sent this question (as well as your question about sodium in the other thread) over to them, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can!
