Great back up meal
I keep these at home for when I’m too tired to cook. They are a great base to a filling and balanced meal. I add to them though because if you prepare as directed it’s a little bland. I add extra seasoning salt, extra sun dried tomatoes, and cheese. Sometimes some sausage or chicken on top or some grilled onion. Basically, use it as an easy jumping off point. All the hot and savory flavors are good, they just need more seasoning and a fresh component to make them great.That being said, I’d be very happy to eat this on a backpacking trip, way better than many of the premade meals and a lot cheaper per serving!

Changing my review on this. READ B4 BUYING
So my original review on this was 5 stars and I explained that if you didn't expect Velveeta Mac and cheese, this was a really good vegan meal and easy.Well they completely changed this product without telling anyone. The bags still say "Version 1.0". I emailed them because the taste is now absolutely horrible. And they responded saying (paraphrasing) They took comments from customers and changed the recipe for the Mac and cheese. Ok, NO ONE can say the new version is better. That's impossible. Their Mac and cheese was the most bought product and sold out product of all of their meal bags. So obviously it was for another reason. And I'm willing to bet it was to cut costs and make more profits off of it. The new version (even though the old version said "version 1.0" and the new version says "version 1.0", so that's a lie) is horrible. I have 3 box fulls of 10 bags from their subscription plan because I thought I could eat it. Nope. So when I originally emailed them when I got the first new box, I said, this is not what I ordered. I ordered the original version and you put NO indication on the website that changes were made. They offered to refund of my money (minus shipping and a restocking fee) so basically I would send it back and break even because the box is so heavy. Terrible customers service. Do NOT buy this product. You will NOT like it. The original version was passable as Mac and cheese. This new version, again still says "version 1.0" is horrible. It's my fault for letting my subscription continue for 2 more deliveries but never again.

Manage your expectations before purchasing
I was a previous customer of Huel a few years ago, but having to buy in bulk just to have it go to waste ended my curiosity of the product. I like the idea of these quick, nutritious meals. But was not ready to commit to (3) bags of different flavors without knowing if I would like it. I also never expected them to be high on taste and flavor, especially for the convenience factor. The Huel Mac & Cheese was high on my list to try and seeing this on Amazon without the commitment of (3) bags and a much higher price - I was sold. Now the product, as is, is very average in taste and satisfaction BUT that is where you come into play. Eating it as is - you won't be a huge fan...but add some additions to spruce it up, now it becomes much better. Personally, I do (2) scoops for 400cals while also adding a can of tuna, some Truff hot sauce, garlic seasoning, and chili flakes - boom! Now you have a tastier 500cals, 45g protein, nutritious meal that is done in 5-6 mins. It isn't mind blowing yum, but its something I go to 1-2x/week.

Not great
Maybe you could acquire a taste for it but the taste and texture aren't for me.

Yuck
Tastes bad. I ate one serving and never again. It has seasonings that make it taste unlike Mac and cheese. Was really hoping this could fulfill my mac and cheese cravings but it’s inedible.

I'm saving serious money!
I have never bought Huel on Amazon, and didn't even know they were on here. I have a subscription with the ACTUAL Huel: 3 bags for roughly $70- 7 meals per bag, $23 per bag, $3 per individual serving/meal. I forked out way more money and TIME when I cooked my own lunch! I use Huel solely for work lunches. I only eat twice a day, so my other meal is bfast- I like to eat my own thing here.As far as taste, it's what you make it. Sure it's bland, but with a little seasoning (most have little to 0 cals), it turns these meals up a notch. I'm not vegan, so I do add a tsp of Better Than Bouillon (10 cals) per cup of H2O, and a little salt and pepper. Instant Flavor! Personal favorites are Mac N Cheese, Chicken and Mush' Pasta, Yellow Coconut Curry.I don't know how long I'll be using them, as I only like 3 flavors and don't want to get bored, but my pockets are surely thanking me. Please experiment with more flavors, soon!

Great healthy meal
Love this stuff, I buy it direct from Huel by the case for a tasty and healthy work lunch.Have to laugh at some of the low star reviews saying it’s “not edible”. I think those people are too used to polymer cheese lol. This might not be real cheese, but it’s real good, and if you look at the ingredient list, it’s real food (looking at you, Velveeta)
