In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining a healthy active lifestyle can feel like an uphill battle. Between work, family, and social commitments, it’s easy to let our diets fall by the wayside, let alone maintain a regular or rewarding gym membership. But what if there was a way to fuel your body with all of the daily nutrients that it needs, regardless of your activity level? Look no further!
Huel: The Vegan-Friendly Solution
Huel is a revolutionary company that’s literally changing the game when it comes to convenient, healthy nutrition. Their innovative plant-based product range offers a complete vegan food source packed with all the essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs to thrive. Whether you’re a gym rat or a self-proclaimed couch potato, presently a carnivore looking to consume more plant-based protein or have been meat and dairy-free for years; Huel has something for all!
Huel, born of the words Human + Fuel, has innovatively created nutritionally complete food suitable for all diets and lifestyles, as every Huel meal contains a balance of all 26 essential vitamins and minerals, protein, essential fats, carbs, fibre and phytonutrients. Founded in 2015 by Julian Hearn with a goal to make nutritionally complete, convenient, affordable food, with minimal impact on animals and the environment, I think it’s safe to say that this achievement has been unlocked – and then some!
Expertly made from plant-based ingredients such as oats, pea, rice, flaxseed, coconut, and sunflower, their range boasts six products: Powder, Black Edition, Complete Protein, Instant Meals, Ready-to-drink and Bars. In a nutshell, Huel provides delicious and convenient health-focused food, which prioritises nutrition, without generating excessive waste in the environment or breaking the bank.
With a long shelf life and very little packaging, less waste is created to discard into landfill, and being entirely plant-based, their carbon footprint as a business is much lower than those who produce animal products. Boasting many health benefits, as well as exciting and delicious flavours, their ranges are low in sugar, lactose-free with zero animal products, no nuts, soy, GMOs, or palm oil, and is incredibly affordable – starting at just £1.10 for a 400-calorie meal. Huel is the solution that we didn’t realise we all needed for peace of mind over our planet, supporting our bank balance and ridding our waistline woes alike.
Perfect for on-the-go meals, from juggling busy work days to feeding a family without a fully stocked fridge; it’s wonderful to have instant, affordable and nutritious meals to hand at any time of the day or night without have to be at home or have access to a kitchen. You can instantly relieve yourself of breakfasts and lunches throughout the week and rollover the saved time and money to quality evening and weekend time with the family without the need to cook, wash dishes or hit the supermarket.
As a busy vegan mother of two, I really appreciate the convenience of popping protein bars and shakes into my gym or handbag to take with me on the go. Being plant-based with a lactose intolerance, it’s not always easy for me to find dietary-requirement-friendly meals out and about, and free-from menus in cafes and restaurants can be incredibly limited or uninspiring to say the least.
I also appreciate how good it makes me feel when I have a nutritious meal, whether I’ve just smashed a killer workout at the gym and need to refuel, or if I’m having a hectic day and require focus and stamina. Formulated by Registered Nutritionist and Dietitian James Collier BSc (Hons), and approved by a number of dieticians and nutritionists globally, even on my rest days when I’m less active, the thought of consuming empty calories, sugar and highly processed foods which lead to an energy crash, outbreak of spots or unnecessary weight gain really doesn’t appeal to me. I wouldn’t fill my sports car with dirty dish water, so why treat my body that way? You are what you eat!
Having healthy snacks and meals at your fingertips is therefore the perfect way to crush unhealthy convenience food tendencies, and break the meal-deal of doom cycle once and for all throughout the working week. Swapping crisps, sugary drinks and bland sandwiches for chewy protein bars, delicious shakes and hearty hot meals not only saves you money and helps you to put your health first, but allows your ethical eating choices to contribute towards saving the planet.
Why Huel Is Perfect For Gym Goers & Couch Potatoes Alike
For those who already lead healthy lifestyles and thrive on keeping active, Huel provides a convenient and nutritious and guilt-free way to meet your daily protein requirements. Their high-protein products are perfect for post-workout recovery and muscle building to maximise your gym results and support recovery with a variety of delicious flavours to keep your taste buds just as happy as your bathroom scales.
But Huel isn’t just for gym goers! Even if you’ve never stepped foot in a gym before and hate the thought of exercise, Huel can still be a valuable part of your everyday diet and lifestyle. Their products are a great way to ensure that you’re getting the essential nutrients that your body needs, even if you’re not burning a ton of calories each day and don’t enjoy cooking.
Whilst I’m the only vegan in my friendship circle, many of my friends love the Huel range and supplement it into their diet, desk drawer and gym routine for days when they gym for optimum muscle recovery, or simply want to reduce their meat and dairy intake. The majority of my friends have become more 50/50 when it comes to going plant-based, instead of fruit and vegetables being the minority of their diet, and feel much better for it. Gradually weaning yourself off of unhealthy foods, with the addition of plant based protein sources, is the perfect way to kick cravings for good and realign your lifestyle for better health and longevity – one mouth-watering bite at a time!
Plant-based diets help to strengthen the immune system to protect against germs and microorganisms, reduce your risk of cancers by recognising and attacking mutations in cells before they can progress to becoming a disease, reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, reduce body fat and the likelihood of obesity, lower the risk of dementia, stabilise blood sugar levels, support heart health, lower cholesterol and aid in digestion to not only markedly improve your own quality of life, but also save the lives of millions of animals and lower our environmental impact compared to traditional meat-based diets.
