My goodness why can’t you make the portioning more simple? If I lost one of your special scoops, and I don’t have a scale (who has a food scale?), what is the equivalent in cups of a portion of Huel Black? You’ve made this too complex. Old scoops, new scoops, it’s difficult to find a clear answer.

I have a food scale. It cost $10, I can mix larger or smaller portions, and I never have to think about scoops again.

We would love to clarify that for you Josh! You can still measure it with your shaker if you have that available. Approximately the serving size which is 400 calories and 2 scoops of Huel can be measured to be around 6 ounces on your shaker mark or a heaping 1/3 of a cup which equals to 90 grams.
However, we are always happy to assist our customers by sending scoops if they are in need of in order to measure them. Just drop us an email if you need more and we will be happy to help you with that!

Hello Domenique_Huel, I just got a scale, and I measured 1/3 of a cup to be about 43-45 grams. You said one heaping 1/3 cup is a 90g serving? Did you mean two equals one serving?
I have the black version, which takes a bigger scoop. 90g is more like a cup. 90 is also the serving size for two scoops. Maybe he mispoke?
I am still confused. Is 400 cal. of Huel black 1/3 cup or 2/3 cup?

1/3 cup is a single scoop. I have a metal one, but I also eat all my meals in single scoops.
I’ve been using 3/4 cup as an estimate of a serving size on Huel Black. Fully agree the way the product is described is idiotic. Listing the servings in common measurements like cups or tbsps would make way more sense.
I hear you and appreciate you raising this today!
Let me take these points on board and raise them to the right team, and we’ll go from there

Sooo…no response?
I don’t want to hear about scales or shakers or management apps, which seems to be the direction this question always leads to. It’s a very simple question.
What is Huel’s understanding of their scoops (in 2026) in the Black Edition bags. Is it 1/3cup, is it 6.5tbsp, 3/8cup, something else? None of the answers out there can agree on a consistent measurement. Even a prior staff answer was inconclusive.
This inanity of “scoops” across all manufacturers has to stop. We have standard measurement tools for a reason.
I’m looking forward to a simple answer.
Thank you!
Hi,
Fair question, and I appreciate you wanting a straightforward answer, I hope i’ve been able to help give you this right here.
I’ve checked our current advice and instructions and can see why you’ve found conflicting answers.
What we can say is for the current Black Edition scoop is that one level scoop is intended to provide approximately 45g of powder, and two level scoops provide approximately 90g (a standard serving).
Where the confusion comes in is that some of our published guidance refers to a scoop as roughly ⅜ cup, while other guidance refers to it as approximately a heaping ⅓ cup. Those volume measurements are intended as approximations, and the difference reflects both rounding and the fact that powder volume can vary depending on how settled the powder is.
So if you’re looking for the closest “official” answer for the current Black Edition scoop, it is:
• 1 level scoop ≈ 45g
• 2 level scoops ≈ 90g
I’ll flag your concerns and your findings to make sure that things are being improved where they can be to make things clearer.
