Huel Black Edition Ready-to-Drink, Chocolate Meal Replacement Drink, 35g High Protein, 27 Vitamins and Minerals, Vegan, Gluten Free, Plant Based, High Fiber, Low Sugar, 16.9 Fl Oz (12 Pack)

Perfect solution for busy days — tasty, satisfying, and nutritionally complete I’ve been searching for a product like this for a long time — something that can fill the gap when I don't have time to sit down and eat a proper meal. Huel Black Edition Ready-to-Drink (Vanilla) has quickly become a go-to option for me. It’s more than just a protein shake — it feels like a real meal in a bottle. I’m not a professional athlete, but I try to stay healthy and make sure I get enough protein. That’s not always easy when life gets hectic. Low protein intake can lead to fatigue, muscle pain, and even anemia — and most people don’t realize they’re not getting enough. This drink helps me stay on track without stress, cooking, or prep. ➕️What I really love: 35g of high-quality, plant-based protein per bottle — that’s impressive for a drink you can carry around. The Vanilla flavor is surprisingly good — not too sweet, no artificial aftertaste, and very smooth. I actually enjoy drinking it. No refrigeration needed — huge plus! I can just toss it in my bag and take it to work, the gym, or even on a trip. Decent calorie content (~400 kcal) — enough to replace a meal, especially if I’m in a rush or not super hungry. Packed with 27 vitamins and minerals — it’s comforting to know I’m not just getting protein, but also micronutrients my body needs. No artificial sweeteners or weird chemical taste — big win for me. ➖️ A few small things to note: It’s a bit high in fat, especially compared to standard protein shakes — but that’s likely what makes it feel more filling. I would appreciate a bit more fiber for digestion and longer satiety — though there’s already some in there thanks to the plant ingredients. That said, these are very minor points and don’t take away from the overall experience. ✔️Final thoughts: If you're someone who skips meals, eats on the go, or struggles to hit your protein goals — especially on busy weekdays — this is one of the best ready-made options out there. It’s satisfying, clean, convenient, and thoughtfully formulated. I’ll definitely keep buying it and recommending it to others. Huel nailed it with this one.

This is a VERY delicious meal replacement option! The vanilla is smooth and delicious (not even gritty at all, despite the plant-based protein) and also works as a perfect base to add to a morning smoothie or shake. I usually enjoy it by itself however. The lids are also interesting as they open fully yet have a little bit of a "flip-top" portion that prevents it from fully coming off. After shaking the bottle the liquid may pool inside the cap which can be annoying sometimes. The 35g of protein, 6g of fiber, and numerous other included vitamins/minerals makes this a great way to ensure you are getting what your body deserves, especially on busy days! The coconut sugar added is minimal, yet adds just enough sweetness to the shake. This is also perfect for those who hate the taste of Stevia. Furthermore, this makes sense price-wise (around $4.50/bottle) as you get both the convenience and nutritional value a single bottle provides. (I believe a single bottle is around a third of most peoples' protein goals.) I've been purchasing Huel for a while now and they've never disappointed me!

not bad taste. The protein is great. No stomach upset after taking it.

Salted caramel is the best flavor of huel and is the best 'meal shake' out of all the brands I have tried, but it does not taste good. It is however a very good way to add extra calories, protein and vitamins and to hydrate. Highly recommend to any new parents! They do always come with broken or taped up packaging but I always just check the seals and make sure they aren't leaking.

Update #2: I like the Vanilla better than the chocolate (that surprises me) and I am not getting the light shakes I was getting with the chocolate. Cocoa powder can sometimes mess with me, so I am thinking was the flavor not the shake. I think I like them. I drink maybe 1 a week because they are so pricey. It makes me wonder why I have tried ensure.... they look like the same thing. I might have to give ensure a try. I really wish these were made with Stevia. I can handle Stevia, but my stomach can handle only so much sucralose. It is sad you charge so much and yet you are basically Ensure... And why do I have to consume in 12 hours? ------------------------- Update: ok the chocolate flavor and thickness is getting easier. I am still adding water to it to water it down, but it is drinkable to me. Blood sugar did ok the second time, but I had only half of it instead of the entire bottle. Jury is still out. I really wish this was made with Stevia and not sucralose :(. My stomach doesnt like fake sugars except it handles Stevia the best. So this might be a deciding factor as well. ------- I was eager to get this so I am eager to review. The taste and thickness is not for the faint at heart. I found it much more tolerable drinking 1/5 of it, adding water to it, shaking it good, drink some more, add a bit more water, and then it wasn't so thick and it became more tolerable. It takes longer in the fridge to get cold than other protein shakes, so adding the cold water makes it colder if I didn't put it in the fridge early enough in the morning. I dont think it is too much liquid. I am not surprised it is thick. 400 calories is a lot to cram in a 16.9 ounce bottle! Not to mention all the nutrients. So for those who think this should be less liquid, remember, this is 400 calories. I am impressed they got it down to 16.9 ounces. I got the chocolate. It is not like other chocolate protein shakes but I didn't mind it. I have to try again, but the first time I had it I think it messed with my blood sugar! I am SHOCKED. I was shaky the entire day. The shake was the only change to my routine. I'm nervous to try it again, but I will give it one more try and then I will update this review. I am going to be SOOO bummed if this messes with my blood sugar. No other protein shake messes with my blood sugar. I realize it is a meal shake, but I didn't think this would mess with my blood sugar.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: it came up during a search so I bought a 12 pack. they immediately satisfy you appetite and you can take a few sips between meals if you need to as a bridge. I use 8 ounces every morning and half a protein bar for breakfast takes me from 730am to noon easily. around 2pm I take a 1 ounce sip as a bridge to dinner. So you can use them as a very healthy total meal replacement or you can use it to help you lose weight and feel full. FANTASTIC PRODUCT! Energy level: U DRINK IT U HAVE IMMEDIATE AND LONG LASTING ENERGY PAYS FOR ITSELF EVERY DAY AND I DON'T EVEN CONSUME MORE THAN 12 OUNCES A DAY Value for money: THERE IS NO BETTER DEAL OUT THERE FOR THIS BREAKTHROUGH PRODUCT Texture: THICK YET CREAMY - EXCELLENT - IT'S NOT A PURE LIGHT LIQUID LIKE A PURE PROTEIN BOTTLE THAT LEAVES YOU HUNGRY IN 2 HOURS

These have really been the key ingredient to my weight loss regiment. I'm down 20lbs since October, and it would have been difficult without Huel. These drinks supplement a lot of lost nutrition from a calorie deficit diet, and because they use real coffee for the flavor, it also helps suppress my appetite a bit. They are surprisingly good tasting for a "protein shake". They aren't chalky like a lot of others on the market, and are surprisingly filling. Overall, I'm very happy with these and have ordered 3 cases so far

UPDATE: The seller was very pleasant to work with and resolve my concern. Initially I wanted to ask if I could exchange the remaining bottles (11 since I only drank 1) for a different flavor. While an exchange wasn't an option, the seller was very understanding and offered a full refund, which I did not expect and appreciated. While I did not like the current flavor or texture of the shakes I bought (iced coffee black edition) I do think I might give another flavor a try, maybe start with a white edition and try a flavor that many have complimented. Changing my rating to a 4 due to prompt seller response and the fact that the shake did leave me feeling full for about 4+ hours with no weird side effects (bloating, etc). Considering trying again at a later time. Original review: I'm new to meal replacement shakes but i might just not be used to them. I really wanted to like this but the flavor is off to me. It doesnt taste like coffee and just tastes very artifical to me. I found it to be a little gritty, but it might either be because it's black edition or the flavor. I dont mind the thickness and I did feel full and satisfied for at least 4 or 5 hours. I just wish it tasted better. I would love to try the vanilla or salted caramel since those are flavors ive heard good things about, but with the price point and quantity, I'm afraid to order another flavor and not like it. Right now I just feel stuck with 11 bottles of something I dont like the taste of. Other than that delivery was great and the product seems good, just not for me
