Huel is a nutritional powdered food that is intended to provide all of the body's daily needs in terms of vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins and carbohydrates.[2][3][4] Huel is made from seven ingredients: oats, rice protein, pea protein, sunflower, flaxseed, coconut MCTs, plus a vitamin and mineral blend. Huel is founded and based in Aylesbury, England.

Product history

Huel first started shipping on 17 June 2015 with version 1.0. Since then, Huel v1.1, Huel v1.2, Huel v2.0 and Huel v2.1 have been released. All versions since its creation have been vegan, containing a 30% protein, 30% fat, 40% carbohydrate split by calories.

On 12 October 2015, an unflavoured and unsweetened version was made available. It is almost identical to the original Huel, however it contains no sweeteners or flavours. On 26 April 2016, a gluten free version of Huel was released.

Huel is created and produced in the United Kingdom, with delivery available to the rest of Europe, and many other locations. The formula was created by James Collier, a registered nutritionist.

A 2015 episode of Dave Gorman's TV show Modern Life is Goodish poked fun at Huel, however this was mainly centred around it's portmanteau name rather than the product itself.[5]
