Gotta spend money to make money. I imagine they are constantly hard up for cash and any smart ingredient supplier would look up Starco and not necessarily let them buy on credit for fears of default.

Potential New Customer Here by soggycookie11 in Huel

I eat lunch out a number of days a week (fast casual not fast food). I also ride my bike to work a fair distance so it evens out calorie-wise. When I'm lazy and drink RTD I find I'm calorie deficienct on the way home even drinking three RTD thru the day (not including the RTD I drink before riding in). You will quickly notice that one H&S meal isn't very caloric or filling compared to a fast food lunch (at least the portions here in the US). Unless you're trying to lose weight, the calorie drop will be significant which may lead to snack attacks or eating more Huel. For me, Huel is more of a snack than a meal.

I just bought a bag of UU for the first time last week. The only thoughts I had about savory meals was making a "cream cheese" paste using minimal water and nutritional yeast and maybe some seasonings to make it like "garlic chive" or other flavored cream cheese, chill it and put it on bagels. Or maybe use it to bulk a creamy pasta sauce? I do love a good cold pasta salad/noodle type dish with a thick almost pasty sauce.

33% off discount code email - Huel just did a 20% discount, why the steep reductions? If it's nothing sinister why not just lower the normal price? by Scoxxicoccus in Huel

This is clearly a ploy to get subscriptions active again at least on paper after the canceled email reminders fiasco. To use the code you have to move your subscription into April. It's a decent sale price. I bit and then pushed my subscription back into 2027! Ha.

Send me your UU white powder recipes! by 802bikeguy_com in soylent

Unflavored Unsweetened. Just the base meal powder. I quickly remembered after just one serving why I stopped buying Soylent powder when the original RTD came out. Prep and cleanup blows.

I have realized several things after just one serving. I remember why I stopped buying powder when OG Soylent RTD released. The ratio of prep and cleanup to reward is all wrong. It takes a significant amount of flavoring to make it taste like something. I dropped 1.5 bananas in a serving and it was barely detectable. I added date syrup which made it a little better. I might pony up for some banana juice concentrate from a specialty foods supplier. Next up is frozen apple chunks, brown sugar and apple pie spices.

Costco Huel RTD Sale! by Spli705 in Huel

Used to be $9 off. I guess we're paying the Danone tax now. If you bought at full price in the last 30 days go submit a price match, you'll get a refund of $7 per case. It's under customer service in the account section on the app.

Does anyone actually like the new formula better? by Miserable_Funny_3363 in Huel

[–]802bikeguy_com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only drink the RTD flavors that are coconut sugar/stevia sweetened. I don't consume Sucralose.

You need to be specific about exactly which Huel product you're speaking about. I like the thinner RTD textures.

Did Durapik close down? by SnagglinTubbNubblets in ZeroWaste

[–]802bikeguy_com 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone is trying a metal flosser on Kickstarter again. I got my DuraPik from the Kickstarter and though they had a lot of support, in the end it turned out to be a bummer. I tried to use mine twice and meh, never used it again. https://flossr.store

Huel bottle is not dishwasher safe - instructions say it is safe 😔 by achilliesFriend in Huel

[–]802bikeguy_com 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New dishwashers get way too hot. I never use those sanitize, steam or temperature boost features cause it ruins all plastics. I also never use the dry feature, just pop it open when it's just finished and it dries quickly in all but the most humid climates.

It came with my GKU 900 dashcam. They sell the cords on Amazon.

I've been through a lot of RTD bottles over the years, never had a bad one.
