Hi Guys, welcome to EPISODE #15 in which we continue the "Let's talk about Food" series.
In this video I share with you my review of the new meal replacement formula from Bulk Powder "1 - COMPLETE FOOD SHAKE" 🧐🥤
If you've seen any of my other videos in this series, you know I'm all about eating "REAL" food, more specifically tying my best to include at least one (or more) portions of fruit or veg with every meal and eating varied and (naturally) colourful foods 🍅🥑🍌🥦🌶🥕
Although being busy with work and family life generally means that dinners in our house have to be quick and easy, as well as nutritious. However in the last couple of months a little thing called DELIVEROO entered our lives and what originally was a novelty, quickly became an unhealthy (and costly) normality 💰😑
To help me get things back on track, I thought I would try to a) knock the take-away habit on the head and b) organise my meals a little better. To facilitate this, I thought I would prepare myself for times which can catch you off guard (e.g. when you're stuck at the office, or when you're only option is a dodgy looking pre-packed sandwich). I figured one way to do this was to have bullet proof back-up plan. Enter the meal replacement...👀
If you're not au fait with what a meal replacement is, it's basically a powdered form of a meal to save time (doesn't sound so healthy right...hold on a sec). Now generic meal-replacements that I've tried in the past, just covered the macronutrient bases (that's your carbs, fats an proteins) without much of a concern for micronutrient content (i.e. vitamins and minerals). However one particular brand brand decided to change this and created a "COMPLETE" meal replacement containing all of the above (yes, I'm taking about HUEL) 🤭🥤
I was intrigue and did some research and this brand seemed to have a lot to offer, i.e. quality ingredients, convenience, a range of flavours, price.....oh no wait, not price. That was my sticking point, not so much the actual cost, but the business model they offer. You simply can't get your hands on a sample, or even your hands on a single 3kg bag (what? Why not?). You have two options, one is to buy more than one bag, the other is to subscribe to a monthly delivery....before you've even tried it, yep...no thanks 👋🏻👎🏻
Thankfully my old faithful friends at BULK POWDERS have developed a similar meal replacement formula to directly compete with HUEL (well I think so anyway). Except they DO let you buy just one bag and as I am already a regular customer I just had to give it a try 😁👍🏻
So this is where we are, my honest review of the chocolate flavour "1 - COMPLETE FOOD SHAKE". I couldn't find any other reviews of this stuff here on YouTube, so I thought I'd do someone else a favour and make my own (funny really, when I'm too busy to even make proper food) 😆🤓
I would love to know if you are considering giving this a try and would certainly welcome some other ideas for easy, plant-based meals or snacks 💭
