Huel Black Edition is a plant-based, nutritionally complete meal replacement powder and ready-to-drink option. It’s formulated to support higher protein intake, moderate fat, and reduced carbohydrates (compared to other lines from Huel), while still providing all 27 essential vitamins and minerals. It’s vegan, gluten-free (no oats), soy-free, non-GMO, and contains no artificial sweeteners.

Macro Profile & Nutrition

*Net carbs = total carbohydrates minus fiber.

Also includes healthy fats from flaxseed, coconut, sunflower; good amounts of omega-3s, polyunsaturated fats, etc.

Ingredients Highlights

• Protein sources: pea protein, brown rice protein, faba bean protein (depending on flavor / format).

• Carbohydrate source: mainly tapioca (instead of oats), assisting gluten-free formulation.

• Healthy fats: ground flaxseed, coconut (including MCTs in some formats), sunflower oil, coconut sugar.

• Sweeteners / flavoring: natural flavors; coconut sugar; stevia; some flavors have organic or natural flavor profiles.

• Additional functional ingredients: green tea extract; probiotics (Bacillus coagulans); fiber from soluble vegetable fiber (e.g. chicory, corn); micronutrient blend covering minerals and vitamins; some flavors include instant coffee or cocoa.

Flavors Available

Huel Black Edition offers multiple flavor options in its powder line. Common flavors (depending on region) include:

• Chocolate

• Vanilla

• Salted Caramel

• Banana

• Coffee Caramel

• Strawberries & Cream

• Unflavoured & Unsweetened

There is also a ready-to-drink (RTD) version in select flavors, typically Vanilla, Chocolate, and Cookies & Cream (plus possibly others). The RTD version preserves the high-protein / lower-carb profile, with about 35 g protein per 500 ml bottle.

Sizes & Formats

• Powder: A standard bag weighs ~ 1.53 kg. A single serving in powder form is 90 g, which delivers ~ 400 kcal. Multiple bags are used to scale daily intake.

• Ready-to-drink (RTD): Bottles are 500 ml each, also ~ 400 kcal, ~ 35 g protein. Typically sold in multi-packs.

Macro Split & What Makes It Unique

• The macro breakdown (powder version) is about 17% carbs / 40% protein / 40% fat / ~3% fiber by energy.

• Reduced carbs come from replacing oats (used in other Huel products) with tapioca starch; this also produces the gluten-free property.

• Protein is significantly higher than many meal replacements, so this version is better suited for those who want to preserve or build muscle, or maintain higher protein intake.

Use / How to Consume

• For powder: Mix approx 90 g with water (you may adjust water volume to taste and texture). This yields one full meal replacement.

• For RTD: Shake bottle; it’s ready to drink.

• Frequency: You can use Black Edition for 1-5 meals per day, depending on your calorie and macro goals. Some people use it for breakfast + lunch; others use it to replace all meals for convenience.

• Flavor adjustments: You can adjust consistency by varying amount of water; can blend with extras if desired (fruit, ice, etc.).

Benefits & Ideal User

• High protein content makes it good for muscle maintenance and building, or for those doing strength training.

• Lower carbs + more fat helps with satiety, may suit low or moderate carb diets.

• Vegan / plant-based; no animal products.

• Gluten-free (no oats) so suitable for those with gluten sensitivities (assuming they tolerate other ingredients).

• Convenient nutrition: good option for busy schedules, trips, or as a meal substitute.

Trade-Offs / Things to Consider

• Taste & texture: Because it’s higher in protein and fat, some users find the texture thicker or richer than lighter meal replacements; mixing with more water may help.

• Cost: Typically more expensive per serving than lower-protein or more carb-heavy meal replacements.

• Caloric density: A full serving is 400 kcal, so using multiple servings needs to be aligned with your daily calorie goals to avoid excess.

• Flavor choice: Unflavoured/unsweetened options may taste more neutral but can be less enjoyable for those used to strong flavor.
