Product history
Huel first started shipping on June 17, 2015 with version 1.0. Since then, Huel v1.1 and Huel v1.2 have been released.[5] All versions since its creation have been vegan, containing a 30% protein, 30% fat, 40% carbohydrate split by calories.[6]
On October 12, 2015, an unflavoured and unsweetened version was made available.[7] It is almost identical to the original Huel, however it contains no sweeteners or flavours.[8]
Huel is created and produced in the United Kingdom and is delivered to the entirety of Europe and many other countries around the world.[9][10] The formula was created by James Collier BSc (Hons) RNutr.[11]
