    Leave it be for 9-11 minutes. It comes out perfect. I add a bit of hot sauce and it's amazing!

    So far I've tried Pasta Bolognese, Cajun Pasta, and Mexican Chili. Mexican Chili is great. I'll buy that gain. Both pastas were not good at all. I'm going to try the other rice based options, but I'll give Mac and Cheese a try.

    Started on Huel Black Ed. Paired with cardio. Lost a lot of weight.
    But the hard part is when you start to smell savoury food on a shared flat.
    And it is so hard to resist.
    So now on the hunt if the mac and cheeze and even the bolognese one taste good.
    Good video !

      Good idea 👍 They’d end up having to redesign the existing packaging for this though as I don’t think it’s up to the task of multiple-uses. 🤞The solution comes quicker than 2025

    Tastes and people are different...but for me..the Mac & CheeZ is not good at all. Very grainy, nothing like the real thing. I expect the vegan cheeze is my biggest problem with it. None of that smooth creaminess that real cheese / bachamel sauce gives you. I imagine for vegan food taste-alikes it's pretty good. But I'd rather have the real thing. The Tomato & Herb is more tasty and faithful to what tomato & herb actually tastes like.
    All that said, for all the other benefits of the product, it's good enough to consume for a quick meal. And adding other spices/hot sauce makes it a lot more palatable.
