How is Energy+ different from other Huel products?

Explains how Huel Energy+ differs from Huel meal products — a low-calorie energy drink with 200mg caffeine and 27 vitamins, not a complete meal.

Written by Jamie Forbes

Huel Energy+ is a low-calorie, vitamin and mineral-rich energy drink — designed as an energy boost and nutrient top-up, not a complete meal. This makes Huel Energy+ fundamentally different from Huel's other products.

Huel Energy+ at a glance

  • 20 calories per can

  • 200mg caffeine (from naturally sourced coffee beans) — equivalent to approximately two cups of coffee

  • 27 vitamins and minerals

  • No significant protein, carbohydrates, or fats

  • Vegan, non-GMO

​
​Recipe update: We’ve updated the Huel Energy+ recipe, rolling out from October 18th for Pineapple & Mango and Blue Raspberry, and expected around November 22nd for Watermelon. The previous recipe contained 35 calories per can; the new recipe contains 20. Existing stock may still be in circulation, so please check the nutrition panel on your can to see which recipe you have.

Huel complete meal products (powders and RTDs)

By contrast, Huel's powders and RTD (Ready-to-Drink) products are nutritionally complete meals, providing:

  • ~400 calories per serving

  • Balanced macronutrients: carbohydrates, protein, and essential fats

  • 26 vitamins and minerals

When to use Energy+ vs. a Huel meal

Huel Energy+ is the right choice when a quick energy boost and micronutrient top-up is needed without the calories of a full meal. A Huel powder or RTD is the right choice when a complete, calorie-appropriate meal is needed.
