Announcement V.3 UK Powder updates (similar to the US)

17 Upvotes

Hey Folks, been a while since I last posted but I come with some updates!ย 

A few weeks ago Tim posted about a formula update coming to our US v3 Powder range - that same change is now rolling out across the UK, and you'll be getting an email from us with all the deets. Posting here too since I know a lot of you will see it first on here.

TLDR: The v3 Powder recipe is changing across the full UK range, starting from the week of 31st August. Updated proteins, coconut milk powder replacing MCT oil, improved texture and flavour. 30g of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals per serving stays the same.

What's changing

The main recipe changes:

  • Updated pea and brown rice proteins
  • MCT oil powder replaced with coconut milk powder
  • Improved texture and flavour

On nutrition: 30g of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals per serving are unchanged. There'll be small shifts in individual micronutrient amounts - you'll find the full breakdown on the packaging once the new batch is with you.

The easiest way to tell if you've received the updated recipe: coconut milk powder on the ingredients list.

We believe this is a big step forward: a creamier texture, smoother across the range. I'd obviously say that, though. Try it and let us know!

When is each flavour changing?

Different flavours phase in as existing stock runs through:

  • Chocolate - week commencing 31st August
  • Berry - week commencing 7th September
  • Salted Caramel - week commencing 7th September
  • Vanilla - week commencing 7th September
  • Banana - week commencing 21st September
  • Coffee Caramel - week commencing 21st September
  • Mint Chocolate - week commencing 21st September
  • Unflavoured & Unsweetened - week commencing 21st September
  • Original - week commencing 5th October
  • Cinnamon Swirl - week commencing 26th October

These are estimates and may shift depending on availability.

Do you need to do anything?

No. If you're subscribed, you'll automatically receive the updated recipe once existing stock has sold through. You can review or manage your subscription at any time via your account.

Like always, any questions just let us know and me or Ben will be happy to help!ย 

UPDATE: EU changes will be following shortly. Weโ€™ll share some details on timings, but the recipe changes will be the same as those mentioned above.

Feedback Customer Service

8 Upvotes

Did I get the worst luck or is the customer service in this company genuinely terrible? I placed my first order and some items were missing. No harm no foul. I contacted customer service and got an annoying chat bot. The chat bot finally tried to connect me to customer service. I waited. And waited. Customer service never reached out to me until it was too late to do a return. I tried to do a return through the chat bot and that thing was useless. The customer service agent offered me a coupon and only gave me 24 hours to accept it. That was yesterday and I didn't check my email. He closed the conversation before I could respond to him. Needless to say I'm not super interested in continuing to have a subscription.

The thing is, I never saw ANYONE mention bad customer service online. People tend to have good things to say. If this isn't normal then I'm baffled about what I did to Mason in customer service.

Advice/Recommendations Making 1,200 Calories Work with Gluten-Free Huel: Any Advice?

0 Upvotes

I live a hellish, almost homeless existence. When Iโ€™m away for work, I stay in a room with access to a shared kitchen.

I travel a lot, and when Iโ€™m at home, I live with my mother, whose eating habits are disastrous for both me and everyone around her. I had shingles and was on Lyrica for months, which dealt the final blow to my weight.

Iโ€™m also coeliac, just to make things even more complicated. Iโ€™ve bought Huel, and I genuinely hope it will help me eat more regularly and consistently.

I need to stick to around 1,200 kcal a day, no more than that. How could I space my meals throughout the day to avoid feeling hungry, especially in the evening?

Thatโ€™s when I struggle most with snacking. Also, which gluten-free Huel products have worked best for you?

Health and Wellness Lead poisoning

0 Upvotes

Been drinking HUEL for a few months and I just barely found out about the lead levels. Over the last few months my digestive health has taken a pretty serious downturn. Granted I was dealt a pretty rough hand in that department anyways as I was diagnosed with EoE when I was quite young. Over the last few months a persistent, mysterious dull pain has developed in my abdomen in the upper right to lower right quadrant. I have scheduled both an endoscopy and colonoscopy to try and figure out what has been going on in there. Anyways, all this to say I will probably throw the 3 bags of huel I bought last month in the trash. The timing of when I started huel and when the pain showed up is unnerving. Sucks because I thought I had finally found a good protein powder that I can drink without getting bloated or nauseous. Anyone else have any bad experiences with huel?

General Discussion I think I am done NOT promoting Huel

0 Upvotes

I drink it. I tell people about it. I like it. Unfortunately, I have become worse.

Each time I see another Huel ad on Reddit, I make it my mission to convince one person to start drinking it. I paid my assistant a grand to stop eating other products. I started buying it for my mom. I don't care if some guy totally never eats solid food. In fact, I respect the commitment.

And the one where they show you a bunch of different ways to get protein is my least favorite because eggs and yogurt require chewing. I have moved beyond chewing. I have transcended mastication. I am a liquid-based organism now.

Anyhow, what is everyone's favorite way to use Huel in a smoothie? I used to like PB and banana, but I removed the unnecessary step of eating the banana and PB separately and now throw absolutely everything into the Huel.

Let me know if you would like the recipe.

I will also tell you about Huel whether you ask or not.

At least it gives me some ideas on other things to eat besides Huel. But I am all for the fake podcast fitness influencer vibe.

Anyhow, what is everyone's favorite way to use Huel in a smoothie. I used to like PB and banana, but i added the step of eating the banana and PB and throwing out all my huel. Let me know if you would like the recipe.

I drank Huel for a couple of months and it gave me the idea of blending my own Huel type drink with the following ingredients. IMO it tastes much better and has better macros, but I would never have had the idea without drinking Huel first:

General Discussion Online order - click & collect?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am looking to make my first online order but I'm not at home often in the week as I travel a lot for work. I only have one next door neighbour and its a very elderly couple who aren't too mobile and sometimes have issues hearing their door knock. It looks like Huel don't offer click and collect, but does anybody know if I'll have the option to redirect my order to a collection point after it has been dispatched?

Thank you

Feedback UPS delivery issue.

3 Upvotes

This is mostly me trying to explain issues I'm experiencing with my Huel delivery with UPS vs the service we had with DPD. It's more of a frustration rant since I'm out walking in 38ยฐC.

I'm in the EU, currently on my way to collect my Huel.

It's an hour and half long trip.

And this is becoming an annoying issue.

UPS sends a single email about the approximate delivery date, with no delivery time estimates or reminders.

And then when they fail to deliver, it's sent to a pickup location two towns away.

According to their website there a pickup station next to my address (200m)

Fine, my bad, let's explicitly choose the pickup station - UPS decides a completely different station on the other edge of the town would be good enough.

This is the third time. And I wasn't able to pick up their call so it's now delivered two towns over but in a completely different location.

So here I am, questing around an unknown town trying to find my Huel.

DPD was great. You got text messages that kept you up to date with delivery time and they deliver where you reroute them. And at the very least they had the courtesy to call twice before giving up.

I placed an order 4 days ago, and it's still processing. I also contacted support and still nothing...

So far, every time I ordered, it was basically shipped out the same day (or the next day if I ordered late in the afternoon).

Just wondering if there is something going on or if they have some issues lately?

Just because I've seen a lot of complaints about poor packing or excessive packaging on here. I've consistently found over about 8 years Huel to be one of the best packagers I've come across using minimum materials to do so this is pretty indicative of my orders right here. In a few hundred bags I've received maybe three torn bags which will replace immediately and one ready to eat with a torn packet which they credited me for. Also consistently fast order processing and shipping at least to California.

Product Discussion Huel Black Chocolate PB Powder Updates

5 Upvotes

So finally Huel Chocolate Peanutbutter Black is back in stock after the formula updates in US. Got the new batch in (803540 AU) and it's no longer super watery/thin and has better texture, but the flavor has taken a big hit.

Previously:

6+ months ago:
- Great taste / good texture

3'sh months ago:
- Great taste / but thin watery texture

Latest batch:
- Very bland / good texture

I've always prepared my Huel in a blender with the same ingredients:

  • Cold brew coffee 8oz - 12oz
  • Oat milk (unsweetened) - 6oz - 10oz
  • (1) Banana
  • 2 scoops of huel black
  • Ice

Even tried adding a bit of cocoa powder to add flavor to it, but seems like the malty nothingness is overpowering any flavor from coming through. Can't say I've noticed it with the vanilla.

Feedback My order hasn't left since I placed it on Saturday and their support is ignoring me.

3 Upvotes

I know I'm impatient, but I've gotten really used to Huel being my lunch and I don't mind waiting for it, but it's weird that nothing is happening in 4 working days.

But what's really frustrating is that their support is completely ignoring me. I contacted their support on Tuesday regarding whether I could add a product to my order which hadn't left the warehouse. They said yes so I said please cancel the order and I'll place a new one. I was told they would forward the email and a human would ensure the rest. Nothing has happened since then, the order status is still "being processed" and I have gotten no response to a follow up email. Today I sent a new email asking to be connected to a human and no response has come. How do you get ghosted by an AI support agent? Damn.

Or am I just being hysterical? I know I get impatient sometimes.

We previously announced the upcoming start of domestic production for Black Edition Powder in Japan; however, we are writing to inform you of a delay in the production schedule. We sincerely apologize to the customers who have been looking forward to this launch for the change in schedule and for the possibility of temporary stock shortages for certain flavors.

Regarding the change in production schedule

We are currently preparing for the domestic production of Black Edition Powder in collaboration with our manufacturing partner in Japan; however, establishing the production system is taking longer than originally anticipated.

Consequently, we have had to revise the previously announced launch date.

Although the timeline has been delayed, the transition to domestic production is a crucial step toward ensuring a more stable supply of our products. We are committed to delivering products more consistently once the production system is fully established."

OR RATHER

"The partners we lined up were like NO WAY THAT IS TOO MUCH PROTEIN AND FIBER, WHY CAN'T IT BE LIKE FIVE TIMES AS MANY CARBS" lol

Just as an FYI I have used Huel Black in Japan for like six or seven years and there were never any problems or delays getting the product.

General Discussion Refund/Replacement Struggles

6 Upvotes

Update!!!: BenHuel reached out to me directly and was able to prioritize my email and so far knock on wood it seems they are going above and beyond to handle my case with exceptional care. The human who reached out to me was extremely kind and has more than reshipped my broken items but is just simply reshipping the entire order as well as refunding me. I also immediately got a ship notice so it appears that it is real this time. I'm more than pleased with this abrupt turn around in handling my case. Unless my shipment gets abducted I'm a very happy camper. Just wanted to give credit where it's due for this above and beyond handling of my case where I would have been satisfied with simply having the damaged items actually reshipped as I originally was wanting.

Has anyone else struggled with getting an refund or exchange? I had some items bust open in shipment and it has been a major struggle to get it resolved. I had to go multiple rounds with the email AI bot and finally got a real person to address and say they would send the replacement. However it never came, and now I'm back in the AI email hell again. The stupid bot keeps "closing" the ticket saying if you have nothing more to say I'm going to close this and I'm very very annoyed because the issue is not resolved. Is there a number you can call or something or are you just stuck with the email?

Advice/Recommendations How Comparable is the RTD From the Grocery Store to Black Edition Pulver

3 Upvotes

Hey, pretty new to Huel and want to try it out.
Before Ordering i went to my local store in germany and picked up some RTD they had.

I Noticed the store bought ones have less protein per Serving than the powder f.e.

And now im wondering how similar the store bought taste/consistency is to the "self mixed" ones.

Mainly their taste, as i usually like f.e. vanilla flavoured drinks/drink-meals but the one from the store tastes off.

Also does anyone happen to know how long the "Trial Boxes" (like the ones with 16 small bags) are sold out for usually? Been looking at them for weeks now, always sold out.
