Literally the second that the sun starts to peek through the clouds, my sheer enthusiasm for summertime begins, and body-goal’s become the focus for many. But between a packed work schedule, social commitments and the sheer effort of meal prepping, staying on track throughout the week is easier said than done.
Enter the HUEL Breakfast & Lunch Bundle to save the day. Expertly designed to take all of the guesswork out of mealtimes, this bundle is the secret weapon for anyone looking to save time, money, and feel their best as the temperature rises. Let’s take a closer peek at what’s included…
This mouthwatering Breakfast & Lunch Bundle is a specially curated selection of HUEL’s heavy hitters, conveniently covering the two busiest meals of the day, with the working week in mind. First up is a bag of HUEL Black Edition. This glossy chocolate flavour high-protein meal powder is perfect for a quick breakfast shake that keeps you feeling lip-smackingly full until lunchtime. Containing ten meals per bag, my breakfast is ready in seconds as I simply scoop, shake and go.
Containing a whopping 40g of plant-based protein, 173 health benefits, 26 vitamins and minerals per serving, whilst also being 100% nutritionally complete, literally no other breakfast compares for cost, nutrition and convenience. Forget the pots and pans from boiling porridge, the chopping boards and bread knife from carving up avocado toast, or the stale cardboard texture of half empty boxes of cereal; this thick and creamy sweet shake is the highlight of every morning, minus the guilt of a cheat day!
Which brings us nicely into lunchtime with their delicious Hot & Savoury Meals. The five pack of instant gourmet lunch sachets provide a hot and hearty, healthy meal that slips into your work day as easy as pouring yourself a coffee. You simply tear open a sachet, add it to your HUEL pot and fill to the line with hot water. Five minutes later, a delicious protein-packed hot lunch of up to 25g!
There’s something to tickle all taste buds on the menu, from Chick’n & Mushroom Pasta to Katsu Curry Noodles, Mexican Chilli, Pasta Bolognese and Thai Green Curry. You can enjoy a different lunch each day, in minutes, and I find there’s nothing quite like finishing up Friday with a Thai! The reusable pot slips nicely into my desk drawer and allows me to keep my fitness goals in check, no matter how busy my day becomes.
Something that’s also exciting about HUEL, is they’re big on rewarding their customers, so you can usually find a surprise free shaker, scoop or t-shirt in bundles, especially for new customers or during events, holidays and offers.
The Health Benefits: More Than Just Fuel
It’s important to point out that HUEL isn’t just a protein shake, it’s actually nutritionally complete food which contains everything the body needs, from Vitamin C for the immune system to Magnesium for muscle function. Another key perk for me about this bundle is the massive amount of protein (40g) that you get in the Black Edition shakes. Protein is essential for muscle repair and keeping us satiated, meaning that we’re less likely to reach for a cheeky biscuit by 11am after having such a knockout breakfast.
Unlike having a sugary cereal or a meal-deal sandwich, HUEL uses low-GI ingredients like oats and flaxseed to provide a steady stream of energy without the dreaded afternoon carb-crash. There’s nothing worse than yawning through your afternoon, or slumping at your desk as you clock-watch until home time; with the correct fuel, the day whizzes past as I remain productive, on the ball and enthusiastic throughout each task.
And finally, with a solid dose of fibre and probiotics, it also supports a happy digestive system which is crucial for beating the bloat before beach season, and quietly keeps my IBS in check.
A Summer Body Kick-Starter Bundle
If your goal is to lean up for summer, then consistency is king. The Breakfast & Lunch Bundle really helps you to master your food intake week by week without ever picking up a kitchen scale or counting calories.
At 400 calories per meal, you instantly know exactly what you’re putting into your body, and by replacing a high-calorie grab-and-go breakfast or a greasy pub lunch with HUEL, you can conveniently create a natural calorie deficit while still flooding your body with high-quality nutrients and energy. It’s the easiest way to make healthy lifestyle swaps without feeling like you’re dieting or depriving yourself of food that you love.
If your morning consists of rushing to the station, and your lunch is a half eaten sandwich at your desk, this bundle gives you back 30–60min of your day, everyday, which amounts to a saving of up to 5hrs extra per week without the additional meal prepping. With its high protein content, it’s also the perfect recovery fuel for those early morning gym sessions or active lunch breaks.
And buying lunch out every day in the UK can easily cost between £7–£10. HUEL meals start from around £1.60 per portion, saving you a small fortune over several months. My meal savings basically pay for my gym membership! I also love that I don’t have to think about what’s for breakfast or what I could prep for lunch, as whether I’m at my desk or in a hotel, my shaker and pot can come with me.
By automating our nutrition throughout Monday to Friday, we free up our mental energy for the people and things that deserve our attention, like planning a summer getaway or taking the dog for an extra lap of the field. So if you’re ready to simplify your life and smash your goals, then grab a shake and let’s go!
