How to make a protein-filled lunch in under one-minute with Huel
For parents with busy schedules, Huel makes it easy to get all of the necessary nutrients without the faff of meal prep.
As parents, our lifestyles are incredibly busy (to say the least). Between caring for our children and ourselves, we often don't have the time to cook a nutritious meal for ourselves, especially if we're on different eating schedules from our little ones. Could the solution be an instant meal replacement shake?
Huel is a brand of nutritional powdered food, otherwise known as Human Fuel (did you see what Huel did there?). It contains a balance of all 26 essential vitamins and minerals, protein, essential fats, carbohydrates, fibre, and phytonutrients to ensure it's 'nutritionally complete'.
This means getting all the necessary nutrients without the hassle of meal prep is easy. Regular Huel use can support your well-being, and to make a Huel meal, simply add the powder and water to your shaker, then shake, shake, shake!
What is Huel good for?
Huel is a big name when it comes to food brands; founded on the principle of stripping food back to the basics of nutrition, many people like Huel as a quicker and easier alternative to cooking meals. This powder comes in six variations, Powder, Black Edition, Complete Protein, Instant Meals, Ready-to-drink and Bars.
Unlike protein shakes, Huel is a complete meal, that includes all of the nutrients you need to thrive, whether thriving to you looks like completing all of the housework or making time for exercise.
Huel is great to add to your existing weight loss or muscle growth plans, too, offering 40g protein per meal, 26 vitamins and zero artificial sweeteners.
According to Huel, the meal replacement can help support muscle function, immune support (with vitamin C), digestive support, heart health, and hair, skin and nail health (with zinc), as well as reduce fatigue. Find more information about the health benefits of Huel products.
