Do I get a new Huel Shaker for free?
If you are a new customer, you will receive a free new Huel Shaker and scoop in your starter kit if your order contains:
- 2 bags of Huel Powder
or
- 2 bags of Huel Black Edition
How do I use the new Huel Shaker?
Although the new Huel Shaker may look different from the Buchsteiner, making the perfect Huel is still super easy. Instead of measuring out your water quantity each time, we’ve now got just one simple 500ml fill line. Add water until it reaches the line, add 2x level scoops of Huel Powder, put the grid on, screw on the lid and cap, shake hard for 10 seconds and enjoy!
For more detailed instructions, check out our How to Use Powder page.
What are the benefits of the new ingredients?
Kombucha is a source of B-vitamins, while green tea extract brings catechins, which act as antioxidants. Probiotics may have many beneficial effects, particularly in relation to gut health.
Why have you removed oats?
Oats bring a variety of nutrients but are also high in carbohydrates. To make Huel Black Edition low in carbohydrates, we replaced the oats with tapioca, which is also in Ready-to-drink. This provides a smooth texture and gives Hueligans a low carb option.
Why have you removed sucralose?
There is nothing wrong with sucralose. However, we listen to requests from some of our Hueligans who wanted a flavoured Powder option without sucralose, so here you go! Huel Black Edition is naturally sweetened by stevia and a small amount of organic coconut sugar. If you prefer a higher carbohydrate meal, we offer Unflavoured & Unsweetened Huel Powder, which also doesn’t contain sucralose.
Is it a weight loss product?
Simply, no. It’s a common misconception that carbohydrates make you gain weight. Huel Black Edition is food, and weight loss is mainly about eating fewer calories than your body needs. Much like our Huel Powder and Ready-to-drink, it can help with making you feel full as it’s high in protein and fibre.
Is it suitable for a keto diet?
It could form part of a keto diet. However, a typical keto diet is typically higher in fat and lower in protein than Huel Black Edition.
Does it taste different from other Huel Powder products?
It has a more subtly sweet taste. The Vanilla flavour is milder than Huel Powder, and the Chocolate flavour has more of a dark chocolate taste. You can’t taste anything from green tea, as it adds to the nutritional profile rather than the flavour of Huel Black Edition.
Why is it more expensive?
Huel Black Edition is lower in carbohydrates. which tend to be the cheapest macronutrient. We are also using a more expensive ingredient as a source of carbohydrates compared to the rest of Huel Powder products (tapioca starch as opposed to oats). The higher amount of pea and brown rice protein, flaxseed, sunflower oil, and MCT powder have also contributed to a higher cost.
Is there any caffeine in Huel Black Edition?
The green tea brings a small amount of caffeine in Huel Black Edition. There is under 3mg per 90g serving. In a standard cup of coffee you would find roughly 90mg of caffeine.
In Coffee Caramel there is 66mg per 90g serving.
Where is Huel Powder made?
Huel Powder is made at our state-of-the-art facility in the UK. It’s produced in accordance with rigorous food production regulations.
Do I get a free t-shirt?
If you are a new customer, you will receive a free T-shirt if your order contains any of the following:
Once you are ready to order, just click ‘add free t-shirt’ in your basket and choose the gender, size, and colour.
What is the shelf life of Huel Powder?
The shelf life of Huel Powder is 12 months from production date if your pouch is unopened and stored in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight. Don’t worry about keeping track, there is a best before date printed on the pouch.
It’s 3 months if your pouch is open. Just reseal and store in dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight.
Once you’ve prepared your Huel, keep it refrigerated for 24 hours. You can save more time and make up your breakfast the night before, plus it tastes great cold.
If you’re on the go and don’t have a fridge handy, providing the temperature is cool, your prepared Huel can stay fresh for a few hours.
Please note, we try to send out product with as long as possible before the best before date to give you enough time to consume your Huel, however this does depend on levels of stock. There may be some cases where you receive something with 3 months until the date.
If you receive something with less than 3 months, please reach out to us so we can help.
Is the packaging of Huel Powder recyclable?
The pouches of Huel Powder are sadly not recyclable, currently. They are made of a composite of plastic outer layer for strength and to ensure they are waterproof, and an inner layer of foil to block light and stop the micronutrients degrading.
We could make the pouches recyclable tomorrow, from biodegradable material. However, the compromise is that they will be weaker, will start to break down in the presence of moisture and will not block all the light. This means that the shelf life of Huel Powder will need to be reduced, and there will be significant increase in product being spoiled due to water damage and general wear and tear. Therefore, we think overall using the current stronger, light blocking non-recyclable pouches actually creates less waste overall.
Despite this fact, the amount of waste that Huel packaging creates is frankly minimal compared to the packaging involved in most shop-bought food. This picture shows the amount of Huel Powder and packaging for 96 years of Huel Powder.

We listened to feedback from our community and increased the protein ratio in Huel Black Edition and reduced the carbs to offer maximum flexibility.
You asked, we listened. All the flavours and sweeteners used in Huel Black Edition are 100% natural. We used stevia and coconut sugar to complement the natural flavours available with our latest addition to the Huel Powder core range.
Nutrition is always first at Huel, so Huel Black edition still contains under 5% sugar, it’s low in salt and it contains the nutritional balance you can expect from Huel.
Huel Black Edition contains tapioca starch as main source of carbohydrates (naturally gluten-free), peas and brown rice for protein, while coconut, flaxseed, and sunflower contribute to the balanced fatty acid profile.
We also add ingredients such as kombucha as a source of B vitamins, green tea extract to provide polyphenols (natural antioxidants), and probiotics to add to the natural prebiotic profile coming from the fibre in Huel Black Edition.
