Eating ONLY Huel for 1 Month - Day 1

Hello, welcome to day 1 of Huel.

So I want to eat Huel for a whole month

and then see what happens, mainly because

I feel like my diet is not very good. I

have too, too much junk food, too much

processed meats, and too much bread.

And I thought instead of trying to eat

healthily and making salads and stuff,

which is a bit of a pain. I'll just get

this Huel stuff, which is supposed to be,

um, it's like protein powder but it's

actually made out of food like peas and

seeds and stuff, and it's got vitamins and

everything your body needs. I think Huel

is supposed to stand for human fuel. It's

kind of like a funny word.

So let me open this.

How do you open it?

Whoops, I tore the writing

in half. What does it say?

You're a hooligan. That's so

funny. You've made the right choice to be

healthier. Save cash and help our planet.

From Julian, the founder. How nice of

Julian. I'm not sure how many meals it

said you get from each bag.

Oh wow, look at all this stuff they give

you.

So you get this booklet.

Is this Julian? This is Julian. From Huel.

Thanks for choosing Huel. Welcome. Thank

you. You're officially part of the family.

Wow, I feel so welcomed.

And this is the mission: to make

nutritionally complete, convenient,

affordable food. I think they said one

meal, um, comes to about £1.20,

so that's pretty affordable. £1.20. Oh

look, here it says £1.32 per 400 calories

for a complete, healthy, balanced,

nutritious meal. That's really cheap.

Imagine you had 2 meals a day. That's

£2.60 a day times 10,

that's £26,

times 3, uh, that's like £70 for

food for the whole month. Wow. But I don't

know if you'd have this every day. Well,

that's what I would like to do.

Plant-based, vegan,

no food waste. I also got the gluten-free

version because I think I have some kind

of reaction to gluten. That's what my DNA

test said. It said I have that gene that

causes that thing that responds to gluten.

I got this What does this say?

£10 off Huel, refer a friend, you'll both

get £10 off your next order.

Hmm, yeah, I could give someone my

referral link. Oh, they also give you a

free t-shirt, which is nice.

I got this black one.

It's got the logo on it.

I got M size. I think M size should fit

96% cotton, made in Bangladesh.

Free t-shirt. And then this is the Huel I

want to make a thumbnail. How should I

make it? I don't know, maybe like

So we got 2 bags.

What else? Oh, they also give you a shaker

thing, so you put it in here, you mix it

with water, and you shake it.

What's that

for? Japanese.

And you get 2 scoopy things.

Yeah, I might make some now,

see what it tastes like.

Nutritionally complete food. It's weird,

it's in a bag. It's like animal feed,

like you get a bag of animal feed and

grains and stuff for your cattle.

And then it's got— oh, it's got the labels

on the back. So I got vanilla flavor and

salted caramel.

Making the perfect Huel, add 500

milliliters of cold water,

uh, 1 level scoop,

2 level scoops, ice cubes.

Are you supposed to drink this cold?

Oh, you can even use milk if you want it

to be creamy.

And this is a list of vitamins it has.

It's got pantothenic acid and potassium.

Wow, it's got everything. Look at all the

stuff it has. This must be way healthier

than my lunch. I usually have a ham

sandwich and a packet of crisps. And

that's it really. I'm pretty sure ham

sandwich and a packet of crisps doesn't

have all of this: zinc, copper,

manganese, selenium, chromium,

molybdenum, iodine, iron.

And look at all the vitamins you get.

This has to be way better than what I

usually eat.

Okay, I'm going to make it and then get

give it a try.

Okay, so it says 1 cup— 1 scoop is 200

calories. Maybe I should wash this. So I

need 2 scoops for 400 calories.

Whoa, look at that! It's just like a lump

of powder. So weird. You could— I

guess you could just eat this and mix it

with water and this is all you need. You

don't actually need food, but it's just

weird that you could survive just from

eating this powder. I wonder

how many meals you get out of one bag. So

that's one scoop. I'm gonna make a mess.

That's one scoop, and I'll put a second

scoop.

And now we have to go and get some water.

Okay, so I've added the water. It said

fill up to this line.

It's bubbling. And then we need to— wait,

do I need to put this on? I guess

so. And then we put the lid on.

Bit nervous about this. Are you sure this

is how you do it? It must be. And then we

have to shake it. Okay, make sure it's

tight.

I'm not sure how long I have to shake it.

It says shake

hard for 10 seconds. Okay,

I think it's been 10 seconds. Let's have a

look what it looks like.

Yeah, it looks like that.

Okay, let's give it a try.

It's kind of oaty. I'm gonna give it a try

now.

Actually,

it's pretty good.

Wow. So it's kind of like

Like porridge, but runny porridge.

I guess you could thicken it up by adding

in extra scoop. And yeah,

there's a subtle taste of vanilla,

slightly. I don't know if it's sweet, I

can't really tell. I feel like it is a bit

sweet, but on the package it says there's

no sugar.

Very easy to drink. I thought it— I was

worried it might be kind of weird tasting,

but it's not weird. It tastes oaty, like

some kind of oat porridge.

Next time I want to try making it using

milk. And adding a bit of sugar.

Yeah, so this is day 1 of the Huel

challenge. See if it fills

me up. I, I feel like,

um, I'm not sure if it's actually going to

make me feel full, but it should do cuz

it's 400 calories. Yeah, we'll see

how it goes. Next time I'll try the salted

caramel flavor.

Hmm, yeah, look, these are the

ingredients. Got oats, pea protein,

flaxseed, brown rice flour,

cocoa powder, sunflower oil.

There's a lot of stuff that goes into it.

Yeah, not bad. And it's only like £1.30

for, for 1ml. Pretty cheap as well. Okay,

that's all for today.
