It's listed in the ingredients, but not highlighted in any way: military and police beware, it contains Hemp which is a banned substance for ya'll. At least until the Federal government makes marijuana/THC products legal.Strawberry flavor definitely is the best of all of them.

They ruined the lids. As a person on the move, I despise these lids. I have to be sure I fully shake and open and remove the lid before I leave the house or really do anything or it’s a whole mess. You’ll have the shake all over your hands and clothes no matter what you do. I have no idea what they were thinking. The banana shake is the best.

I got the coffee and so far I have not had any problem with the taste. Personally, I don't see this as being any different than any other of these types of drinks

I got the chocolate on a recommendation from my son who has used huel for some years. The first one had a gritty consistency but being a novice I just had no idea that wasn't normal. I gave six of the order to my son and he started on one and knew it wasn’t normal. He discarded his and said I should do the same. I didn’t notice a bad taste (just slightly off like a lot of drinks that are supposed to be good for you) but the consistency was like gritty/chunky. I bought some vanilla at the same time that I will try hopefully with better luck. Not impressed so far.

Update #2: I like the Vanilla better than the chocolate (that surprises me) and I am not getting the light shakes I was getting with the chocolate. Cocoa powder can sometimes mess with me, so I am thinking was the flavor not the shake.I think I like them. I drink maybe 1 a week because they are so pricey. It makes me wonder why I have tried ensure.... they look like the same thing. I might have to give ensure a try. I really wish these were made with Stevia. I can handle Stevia, but my stomach can handle only so much sucralose. It is sad you charge so much and yet you are basically Ensure... And why do I have to consume in 12 hours?-------------------------Update: ok the chocolate flavor and thickness is getting easier. I am still adding water to it to water it down, but it is drinkable to me.Blood sugar did ok the second time, but I had only half of it instead of the entire bottle. Jury is still out.I really wish this was made with Stevia and not sucralose :(. My stomach doesnt like fake sugars except it handles Stevia the best. So this might be a deciding factor as well.-------I was eager to get this so I am eager to review. The taste and thickness is not for the faint at heart. I found it much more tolerable drinking 1/5 of it, adding water to it, shaking it good, drink some more, add a bit more water, and then it wasn't so thick and it became more tolerable. It takes longer in the fridge to get cold than other protein shakes, so adding the cold water makes it colder if I didn't put it in the fridge early enough in the morning.I dont think it is too much liquid. I am not surprised it is thick. 400 calories is a lot to cram in a 16.9 ounce bottle! Not to mention all the nutrients. So for those who think this should be less liquid, remember, this is 400 calories. I am impressed they got it down to 16.9 ounces.I got the chocolate. It is not like other chocolate protein shakes but I didn't mind it.I have to try again, but the first time I had it I think it messed with my blood sugar! I am SHOCKED. I was shaky the entire day. The shake was the only change to my routine. I'm nervous to try it again, but I will give it one more try and then I will update this review. I am going to be SOOO bummed if this messes with my blood sugar. No other protein shake messes with my blood sugar. I realize it is a meal shake, but I didn't think this would mess with my blood sugar.

Strong taste at first but you get used to it, i drink it in the morning before work and I tend to get less hungry throughout the day and when I get back home I have another serving. Ive noticed some weight loss in just the first week of me having this

Delicious protein drink for just lunch. Satisfying and not heavy.

I wanted to like this so bad. Another review said it tasted like chalk, and I wondered how that was possible but it REALLY DOES taste like chalk. And the texture is rough. The consistency is somewhere between whole milk and a milkshake but its… slimy? I don’t know. It’s bad. I’m not gonna waste them so I just chug it (as much as I can with the weird texture) and hold my breath until I’ve washed it down thoroughly. It gets 2 stars because it’s vegan and definitely a good meal supplement, I drink it in the morning and I’ve noticed my energy improving. These things aren’t really supposed to taste good I guess, but this one is very BAD
