I have literally tried all vegan protein powders going back to 2016. It was a very long, and sad journey of constant disappointments left and right. They were either too expensive, too chalky, overpoweringly sweetened with stevia leaf or monk fruit, or they didnt mix well at all, had a weird aftertaste, or worse, they settle and form the quicksand of death at the bottom of your cup if you dont chug it.Huel has several tiers of protein powder. This Complete line, is my favorite in terms of macros, taste, and cost. I like it by itself in cold water, or with instant coffee, or if I am feeling adventurous - with greens powder. Its perfect for a snack, or double up for a light meal on the go. (Depending on your needs, Im not a top level body builder, but I am a mighty mouse. ?)The perfect way to get this fully incorporated is one of those little hand held coffee frothers. I got one made by Foodville, here on Amazon, and its super powerful. Mixing on medium ensures the liquid stays in the cup, and the powders get dissolved properly. Unlike other powders (looking at you Garden of Life), this doesnt froth at all! Its great!The Huel Complete Protein line is very versatile. I really like all the flavors, this vanilla one is my go to for coffee when I first get up. The strawberry is great for sweet cravings. Add some lemon juice and someplain vegan yogurt to that one and you can have a strawberry lemon cheesecake. The chocolate one, add some cinnamon and cayenne for a Mexican "hot chocolate", or add coconut cream and almond butter for an Almond Joy shake. Mix both the chocolate and strawberry powders together for chocolate covered strawberries. Put some blitzed mint leaves or you could cheat and use drops, for an Andes after dinner chocolate shake.Im also grateful for not having to pay $40 in shipping by going to the Huel site every time I need to stock up. I like the discounts for military/student/healthcare available on their site, but that quickly disappears to nothing thanks to the various levels of shipping.On a side note, unfortunately, they are not selling their instant meals or instant cups here on Amazon yet. I am pretty wary of 3rd party sellers after being burned, so I will wait to see the, “sold by Huel, shipped by Amazon” tag.If you work really long days, and are super tired when you get home, those instant meals are an easy 400calories. Add in some Dang chick’n, edamame, frozen broccoli (or veg of choice) and in 6 minutes you can a good tasting 600+ calorie meal. So yeah, Huel!!! Step it up and list those too!!!Thank you for coming to my Huel Ted talk. Please try the flavors. I wasnt really a fan of their Black line, even though the macros were really nice, I couldnt make it through a bag. This complete line, for me anyway, is the one I chose to settle down with, have kids, a well manicured lawn and a white picket fence. Highly recommend. 10/10. Happy mixing!
