What is the difference between Huel Black Edition and the rest of the Huel Powder products?
Huel Black Edition doesn’t contain any oats, making it naturally gluten-free. Compared to Huel Powder v3.0, it has 50% less carbs and 33% more protein. Organic coconut sugar and stevia are used for natural sweetness, giving you the option to have a flavored powder with no artificial sweeteners. It also contains green tea extract, a source of antioxidants.

Do I get a new Huel Shaker for free?
If you are a new customer, you will receive a free new Huel Shaker and scoop in your starter kit if your order contains:
- 2 bags of Huel Powder
or
- 2 bags of Huel Black Edition
How do I use the new Huel Shaker?
Although the new Huel Shaker may look different from the Buchsteiner, making the perfect Huel is still super easy. Instead of measuring out your water quantity each time, we’ve now got just one simple 500ml fill line. Add water until it reaches the line, add 2x level scoops of Huel Powder, put the grid on, screw on the lid and cap, shake hard for 10 seconds and enjoy!

What are the similarities between Huel Powder and Black Edition?
Like all Huel products, Huel Black Edition contains the 27 essential vitamins and minerals you need. They both contain added phytonutrients, such as lycopene, as well as kombucha, and probiotics. Both Huel Powder and Huel Black Edition are sustainable and vegan, come together with water or plant milk, and are sold in minimal packaging.
What are the benefits of the new ingredients?
Kombucha is a source of B-vitamins, while green tea extract brings catechins, which act as antioxidants. Probiotics may have many beneficial effects, especially for the gut.
Why have you removed oats?
Oats bring a variety of nutrients but are also high in carbohydrates. To make Huel Black Edition lower carb, we replaced the oats with tapioca, which is also in our Huel Ready-to-drink. The starch provides a smooth texture and gives Hueligans a low carb option.
Why have you removed sucralose?
There is nothing wrong with sucralose. However, we listen to requests from some of our Hueligans who wanted a flavored Powder option without sucralose, so here you go! Huel Black Edition is naturally sweetened with stevia and a small amount of organic coconut sugar. If you don’t mind a higher carbohydrate meal, we also offer the Unflavored & Unsweetened Huel Powder v3.0, which is also free of sucralose.
Is it a weight loss product?
Simply, no. It’s a common misconception that carbohydrates make you gain weight. Huel Black Edition is food, and weight loss is mainly about eating fewer calories than your body needs. Much like our Huel Powder and Ready-to-drink, it can help with making you feel full as it’s high in protein and fiber.
Is it suitable for a keto diet?
It could form part of a keto diet. However, a typical keto diet is typically higher in fat and lower in protein than Huel Black Edition.
Does it taste different from other Huel Powder products?
It has a more subtly sweet taste. The Vanilla flavor is milder than Huel Powder, and the Chocolate flavor has more of a dark chocolate taste. You can’t taste anything from green tea, as it adds to the nutritional profile rather than the flavor of Huel Black Edition.
Why is it more expensive?
Huel Black Edition is lower in carbohydrates, which tend to be the least expensive macronutrients. Tapioca starch, which we use as a source of carbs in Black Edition, is more expensive than the oats found in Huel Powder. Higher amounts of pea and brown rice protein, flaxseed, sunflower oil, and MCT powder have also contributed to the higher cost.
Is there any caffeine in Huel Black Edition?
The green tea in Huel Black Edition contains a small amount of caffeine, with under 3mg per 90g serving. For comparison, a standard cup of coffee has about 90mg of caffeine.
In Coffee Caramel there is 65mg per 90g serving.
Where is Huel Powder made?
Huel Powder is made at our state-of-the-art facility in the US. It’s produced in accordance with rigorous food production regulations.
Do I get a free T-shirt?
If you are a new customer, you will receive a free T-shirt if your order contains any of the following:
Once you are ready to order, just click ‘add free T-shirt’ to your cart and choose the cut, size, and color.
What is the shelf life of Huel Powder?
The shelf life of Huel Powder is 13 months from production date if your pouch is unopened and stored in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight. Don’t worry about keeping track—there is a best before date printed on the pouch.
The shelf life is 6 months if your pouch is open. Just reseal and store in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight and it’ll keep for half a year.
Once you’ve prepared your Huel, keep it refrigerated for 24 hours. You can save more time and make up your breakfast the night before, plus it tastes great cold.
If you’re on the go and don’t have a fridge handy, your prepared Huel can stay fresh for a few hours as long as temperatures are cool. On warm days, we advise drinking prepared Huel right away.
Please note, we try to send out product with as long as possible before the best before date to give you enough time to consume your Huel, however this does depend on levels of stock. There may be some cases where you receive something with 3 months until the date.
If you receive something with less than 3 months, please reach out to us so we can help.
Is the Huel Powder packaging recyclable?
Huel Powder pouches are currently not recyclable. We use a composite plastic outer layer because it is strong and waterproof. The foil inner layer blocks light and stops the micronutrients from degrading.
While we could make the pouches recyclable using biodegradable material, they would be weaker and would start to break down in the presence of moisture. They also would not block all the light. This means that the shelf life of Huel Powder would be significantly reduced, potentially resulting in a lot of food waste. Therefore, using the current stronger, light-blocking, non-recyclable pouches creates less waste overall.
In the end, the amount of waste that Huel packaging creates is minimal compared to the packaging involved in most store-bought food. This picture shows the amount of Huel Powder and packaging for 96 years of Huel Powder.

A 400kcal meal of Huel Black Edition contains a balanced macro split of 17:40:40:3 (carbohydrates, fat, protein, fiber) and all the 27 essential vitamins and minerals your body needs to thrive.
We listened to feedback from our community and increased the protein ratio in Huel Black Edition and reduced the carbs to offer maximum flexibility.
You asked, we listened. All the flavors and sweeteners used in Huel Black Edition are 100% natural. We used stevia and coconut sugar to complement the natural flavors available with our latest addition to the Huel Powder core range.
Nutrition is always first at Huel, so Huel Black edition still contains under 5% sugar, it’s low in salt and it contains the nutritional balance you can expect from Huel.
Huel Black Edition contains tapioca starch as main source of carbohydrates (naturally gluten-free), peas and brown rice for protein, while coconut, flaxseed, and sunflower contribute to the balanced fatty acid profile.
We also add ingredients such as kombucha as a source of B vitamins, green tea extract to provide polyphenols (natural antioxidants), and probiotics to add to the natural prebiotic profile coming from the fiber in Huel Black Edition.
