I've been putting this one off for a few weeks so have decided to split the two flavours into two reviews. This is the 2nd - the first is here
Huel is basically science porridge - it's a lunch that you can make with just water and powder, and once you get over the fact that it's not that special, it's actually very filling and satisfying, and seems to be really good for me in terms of vitamins and minerals. I actually miss it at the weekends (I leave it at work).
People get twitchy when you include your referral link for this stuff in the reviews (due to the fact that most of the cost of it pays for the adverts) and so I'm not using them this time - and I'm also not submitting this to their creepy brand based influencer app that I signed up for.
All the 'cult of huel' stuff aside I actually like it, so while restocking on magic dust I decided to get the soupy savoury version.
This is the exciting flavour of the two. As it also had the most potential to go wrong so I only got one bag of this, and two of the other.
Here is the exciting list of ingredients - including that well known Thai food - Sweetcorn?! Apparently it is popular there, although I don't remember ever seeing it in curries.
And again - like in the first review - I'd shaken the bag to mix the ingredients which just resulted in all the light things floating to the top - sweetcorn disappointment city....
Here is a pic from the other review of what it looks like if you use a little more powder, stir the bag, and maybe a touch less water. It's a lovely cereal mix.
Where as the tomato version is just tomato soup this one actually has tangyness and tastes like green curry should. I don't add anything to this one to make it more exciting, but frankly if you had a few fresh greens floating around you could turn this into a real meal. But it still goes cold too fast in the silly little pot.
I have three bags of this which means I have about 21 meals worth. And since I popped these open I've not even touched the milkshakes. This makes me think that I should make those warm somehow, as I have two bags of that to eat too (it'll keep to summer). I'll likely buy more of this but they really could do with a third flavour, something more earthy, just to make the weeks a little more varied.
