The Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink Formula Explained

Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink is a nutritionally complete meal in a bottle that is high in protein and fiber, reduced carbohydrate, and rich in healthy fats, with an alternative macro split of 23:39:35:3 (carbohydrate, fat, protein, fiber). This means 23% of the total energy comes from carbohydrate, 39% from fat, 35% from protein and 3% from fiber. Black Edition Ready-to-drink also provides micronutrients, such as phytonutrients and all 27 essential vitamins and minerals. Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink has lower carbs and higher protein compared to both v1.0 and v2.0 Ready-to-drink.

Additionally, Black Edition Ready-to-drink contains no lactose or any animal products, no soy, no GMOs, and is gluten free. 

The Black Edition Ready-to-drink works to meet the HHS and USDA's Dietary Guidelines and Daily Value (DV) requirements for all macro- and micronutrients, and proportion them to provide what you need from a meal.[1]

Carbohydrate in Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink

The carbohydrate content of Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink is 32% lower than that of regular v1.0 and v2.0 Ready-to-drink (based on Vanilla Black Edition Ready-to-drink and Vanilla Ready-to-drink V1.0). This is to provide an alternative product for those who desire a different carbohydrate intake for a meal. 

The carbohydrates in Black Edition Ready-to-drink primarily come from tapioca, a starch that comes from the roots of the cassava plant. We’ve used this as the primary carbohydrate source as it also provides a smooth, rounded mouthfeel. As Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink contains no artificial sweeteners, we’ve used a small amount of organic coconut sugar to compliment the natural sweetener stevia to deliver a subtle sweet taste. 

Fat in Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink: Canola, Flaxseed, Sunflower, and Coconut

The fat in Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink provides 39% of the total energy and is made up from cold- pressed canola oil, flaxseed and sunflower lecithin. This is to provide essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in optimum amounts. There are two essential fatty acids: linoleic acid (LA – an omega-6 fatty acid) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA – an omega-3)[3]. Using our blend of canola oil, flaxseed and sunflower, we’ve ensured Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink contains sufficient amounts of both of these EFAs as well as other omega-3 and -6 fatty acids. We selected canola oil specifically because it has a great omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of 2:1, as well as provides essential vitamins such as vitamin E and vitamin K. The breakdown of the kinds of fat in canola oil is approximately 62% oleic acid (a monounsaturated fatty acid), 19% linoleic acid, 9% alpha-linoleic acid and 7% saturated fatty acids [14].

We’ve included medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) from coconut. MCTs are treated much like carbs, i.e. they provide an energy-rich, sustained fuel and are perfect for those of us with busy lifestyles[2]. 

Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink is High-protein: Peas, Faba Bean, and Hemp

For healthy adults, the DRI recommends that 10-35% of calories should come from protein, or a minimum of 0.8g of protein per kg body weight per day [1]. The recommendation of 0.8g of protein per kg body weight per day is the recommendation to prevent deficiency. Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink is high in protein for those who desire a higher intake of protein for some meals. We combine plant based sources of protein to ensure Black Edition Ready-to-drink provides all of the essential amino acids, including BCAA's (Branched chain amino acids). Most of the protein is supplied by pea, faba bean and hemp seed protein, with smaller amounts coming from other ingredients like flaxseed. Furthermore, protein is more satiating than other macronutrients[4], helping you to feel satisfied after your meal.  

Amino acid profile of Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink

Protein is made up of amino acids. There are over 500 amino acids in nature, 20 of which are known as the standard amino acids as these are the ones that are coded genetically and are subsequently involved in primary protein synthesis. Of these 20, nine are essential as they cannot be synthesized from other amino acids.

The nine essential amino acids are:

  • Histidine

  • Isoleucine

  • Leucine

  • Lysine

  • Methionine

  • Phenylalanine

  • Threonine

  • Tryptophan

  • Valine

The other eleven are:

  • Alanine

  • Arginine

  • Asparagine

  • Aspartic acid

  • Cysteine

  • Glutamine

  • Glutamic acid

  • Glycine

  • Proline

  • Serine

  • Tyrosine

Generally, proteins derived from animal foods (meats, fish, poultry, milk, and eggs) are considered complete proteins because they provide all nine essential amino acids.  Some plant foods are also complete proteins, including quinoa, buckwheat, and soy. You can also combine plant foods (legumes, seeds, grains, and vegetables) to get all nine amino acids. Many plant foods have insufficient amounts or one or more of the essential amino acids. 

The protein in Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink comes from three of the main ingredients: pea protein, hemp and faba. This ensures a good range of all amino acids and that there are sufficient amounts of the EAAs. Hemp protein is high in the sulphur-containing amino acids cysteine and methionine, plus it contains good amounts of all the others but is comparatively low in lysine. The pea and faba bean proteins are lower in cysteine and methionine but high in lysine. This is why we selected these three sources, ensuring everything was covered whilst keeping Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink vegan-suitable.

Fiber in Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink: Flaxseed, Chicory and Corn Fiber

The vast majority of Americans do not consume adequate amounts of fiber, with just 5% of the population meeting fiber intake recommendations [15]. Healthy adults require anywhere from 25-38g of fiber per day (14g of fiber for every 1,000 calories).

Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink is a good source of fiber providing 6-7g of fiber per bottle (varies a bit between flavors). The fiber in Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink is a mixture of soluble and insoluble forms supplied from flaxseed, chicory and corn fiber. Chicory fiber has a prebiotic effect, prebiotics are forms of fiber that support the good bacteria in our gut [17].

The fiber profile in Black Edition Ready-to-drink helps to ensure the formation of normal, solid stools in healthy users [5]. Fiber acts like a sponge, so it’s important to consume adequate fluids when having fiber-rich foods like Black Edition Ready-to-drink[16]. 

Vitamins and minerals

The majority of the vitamins and minerals (also known as micronutrients) in Black Edition Ready-to-drink are from natural ingredients. We then use a micronutrient blend to fortify the product to ensure we are providing all the vitamins and minerals you need from a meal.

There have been numerous studies in the past 20 years demonstrating that, for certain micronutrients, levels higher than the DRI may have beneficial effects to health. For example, it’s widely considered that the amount of vitamin C we’re recommended to consume is too low, so we've reflected this in the Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink formula. Benefits of consuming more vitamin C include supporting a healthy immune system and antioxidant properties[6,7,8].

With some of the trace elements, the levels are higher than the recommended amounts. This is because we only need tiny amounts of them, but the natural ingredients in Black Edition Ready-to-drink are a rich source.

Choline is an essential B vitamin that can be synthesized in our bodies, but it’s more efficient to obtain it from our diets[9]. It’s of particular importance for post-menopause[10,11]. 

There has been some concern about phytic acid: a naturally occurring substance in some seeds including flaxseed. Phytic acid can chelate (bind) some minerals meaning that they are less bioavailable[12]. As flaxseed is a large contributor to the nutrition of Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink, we've ensured that there are adequate levels of some minerals, like iron and zinc, to accommodate any issues with phytic acid chelation. Furthermore, the high level of vitamin C in Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink will also further promote iron absorption[13]

Green Tea Extract 

Green tea extract is a concentrated form of green tea, one of the most commonly consumed teas in the world. The primary active component in green tea extract is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which is a polyphenolic compound with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties [18]. Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink provides 150mg green tea extract per bottle.

Caffeine

The green tea extract used in Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink powder may contribute a small amount of caffeine. Flavors that include cocoa or coffee, such as our Iced Coffee and Chocolate flavors, have additional amounts of caffeine present, as cocoa and chocolate naturally contain caffeine. If you have caffeine sensitivities, we'd suggest choosing a different product that doesn't contain coffee, chocolate or green tea extract for the time being.
