Huel Black Edition is nutritionally complete, convenient, affordable food with minimal impact on animals and the environment. It provides you with all the carbohydrates, protein, fats, fibre and all 26 essential micronutrients your body needs to thrive.

Huel Black Edition doesn’t contain any oats, making it naturally gluten-free. Compared to Huel Powder v3.0 it has 50% less carbs and 33% more protein. Organic coconut sugar and stevia are used for natural sweetness, giving you the option to have a flavoured powder with no artificial sweeteners. It also contains green tea extract, a source of antioxidants.

Nutritional

In a 400kcal serving, Huel Black Edition contains:

Carbs: 17g (vs 38g in Powder v3.0)

Fat: 18g (vs 13g in Powder v3.0)

Protein: 40g (vs 29g in Powder v3.0)

Fibre: 6.6g (vs 7g in Powder v3.0)

Huel Black Edition contains all 26 essential vitamins and minerals, just like all Huel products. They both contain added phytonutrients such as lycopene, and kombucha, and probiotics. You add water (or plant milk) to both, there’s minimal packaging, they’re sustainable and vegan.

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.

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.

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 v3.0, which also doesn’t contain sucralose.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Like other Huel products, we are always looking to expand the flavour range. As Black Edition is an entirely new product, it’s important to get the nutrition, taste, and texture right first and then new flavours can be developed over time.

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.

The shelf life of Huel Powder is 12 months 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 6 months if your pouch is open. Just reseal and store in dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight and it’ll keep for half a year.

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.

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. These 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.
