is it better than Huel? Huel tasted awful
It varies from person to person
i drank a lot of huel. none of the flavors were great (for me).
i switched to soylent this month. the "original" flavor is just completely inoffensive. it reminds me of milk. i just hit 1080 kcal on soylent today.
i did get some of the strawberry flavor that mixes into it. that was very good, but i don't need it every day. i'm happy just to drink the original.
In my experience none of them taste great, but if you make them part of your daily flow you get over it pretty quickly. I've heard good things about the newer pre-mixed and flavored ones, but I got to a good place with my nutrition a few years ago and stopped using pretty much all meal replacements.
so I'm curious, do you just not eat any actual food anymore other than Soylent?
its an option, but most ppl do eat food still. simply because they enjoy the taste more.
Exact opposite! I know the language was flowery there but I basically never eat Huel/Soylent anymore
personally i want to get at least 1000 kcal a day in soylent, so that i'm sure i get SOME of my rdas. otherwise i eat a lot of bean and cheese burritos. they are maybe 1/3 of what i eat besides soylent. the rest is like... whatever my wife makes or fast food.
Honestly I never really got meal replacements like it's basically a drink so you are still eating your just not chewing so what's the point is the point to not cook is it that you just don't want to move your jaw is this just something I can't comprehend because I'm autistic what
Soylent is way better than Huel. I've been consuming at least a serving of Soylent a day for the past four or five years, I've tried a few different brands including huel and they were all significantly worse than Soylent ready to drink or Soylent powder.
